Ao Thalane, or Thalane Bay, is located at the southern tip of the Ao Luk sub-district. As one of Krabi’s stunning bays, it is the go-to place for those who want to experience traditional life in the area or go kayaking around untouched groves and canyons.

While there are beaches and sandbanks to stop and take photos, the highlight of Ao Thalane is definitely its canyons. For the promotion of sustainability, sea kayaking in the canyons is a recommended for those who wish to explore the mangrove forest and its canals. As such, kayaking has become a popular activity in Ao Thalane and has been extremely beneficial in protecting the mangroves from pollution or damage caused by larger boats. The mangroves are also important for the local fishermen, who have been using the area to catch fish for hundreds of years.

The kayaks also allow you to get up close to the exotic flora and fauna available here, and also take your time paddling through the beautiful mangroves, which provide you the fleeting, calming sensation of world dominated by nature herself.
