The place where you could sit and cry all day.
I love to be there when I want to be alone, to keep myself down from the busy thing. I went Ao Manao alone last year after i got broken heart with depression. To sit and see the wave with slight wind make me calm and relax, I'll be there again soon.

A wonderfully peaceful place
We stayed at the hotel that is inside the air force base - bizzare setup but you do not really know you are in an army base once you get there. The hotel rooms were wonderful - a view of the sea, peaceful and clean. We were there in the middle of the week and got spectacular rates. The sea water swimming pool has faces the sea, fabulous. Also has a lifeguard which is not always the standard in Thailand. The hotel restaurant is not always open, but there is a food center at walking distance. Note that it closes quite early, so do not expect to find dinner at 10pm. To get to the town the front desk will get you a tuktuk or you can stop one passing on the road. The bay itself is spectacular, a great place to relax. You can walk along the endless stretches of clean white sand, climb up the mountain and see the view, and feed the multitude of monkeys. The downside of being at Ao Manao in the middle of the week in low season is that all activities are suspended - you cannot get a boat to the islands or rent a bicycle or anything else. We had to go to the village to rent bicycles which we got from the Pizza place on the beach (French speaking). Excellent new bikes, well maintained. Really nice people who rented us their daughter's small bike for our ten-year-old.
