Ao Nai Wok is located next to Tong Sala, on the west the coast of Phangan. Its length is about 600 meters, almost all the first line is occupied by resorts, and only in one place yet Remains not built up wasteland. Except Tong Saly and her infrastructure, as well as the sunset sky every evening, the benefits to I did not notice the Ao Nai Wok beach.
The beach is very shallow, with turbid water, and almost along the whole shores built up to protect it from blurring. It is interesting to come here for a photo shoot, do not worry about having a rest with as a child (at low tide), but if you like swimming yourself, then this beach not for you.

Beach description
Ao Nai Wok separates the Tong Saly river, the mouth of which is intentionally increased to 50 meters for easy access and parking longtails Soil from the fairway fell off immediately, side by side, well, plus the river itself tries, regularly applies the soil, adding its five satangs in shallow water near the beach.
Because of this, on the left edge, a small islet to which the sand bar leads. You can walk on it and take interesting pictures when on either side of you will sea. On the right is a cape with boulders overgrown with greenery. Width beach at high tide – from two meters to zero, and at low tide – no more five to seven meters.
Entry, depth and waves
The coast at a slight angle goes under the water, and here it is, almost flat bottom horizon, stored up to 400-450 meters from coast. That is, Ao Nai Wok is as small as a cat’s tray. For kids here, of course, expanse. Especially during the day when the sun is not yet I got to the West Bank and the shade is still a lot, but the water is already warmed up to forty degrees.
Waves in the usual time does not happen, but in the season of storms to the beach gets that noticeable on gradually falling down palm trees on first line. The bottom is clean, without stones and algae, so you can calmly wander knee-deep in the sea almost 50 meters to the horizon before underwater surprises begin to occur.
Sun beds and shade
With all the rest, Ao Nai Wok pleases with a large number of trees, which give an amazing natural shadow. The trees are already adults, strong, some are suspended on swings and hammocks, in some places benches are placed, and in front of the resorts there are also sun beds. I did not see the rental, but this is not the beach and not that cross, so that have spare lounges for rent.
Resource staff looks after the beach, regularly cleans sand from marine debris and smoothes it every morning. Fair speaking, combing the beach is nonsense, but if you find yourself in the morning on берегу возле Angkana Hotel Bungalows 
, то сами убедитесь, что смотрится оченьbeautiful.

Left concrete rings see? This is a shore reinforcement on not built-up plot.
This is an island opposite the left edge of the beach, here you can go walking on water or around, on a sandy spit.
Voditsya, to put it mildly, muddy.
Ao Nai Wok, right view. Peak tide, walk along the shore impossible, without entering private territory.
A portable beach is equipped for guests of the resort.
Behind me – flat sand and resort houses.
There is not a lot of boat here, usually there are some nets in the center, maybe something fishermen bred.
At the far right edge of the beach are dying palm trees, without leaves.
Infrastructure
If we omit the fact that there is a kilometer from Ao Nai Vok the most developed infrastructure on the island, the beach itself can offer everything you need to those who settled here. On Ao Nai Vok There is a mini-market 7-Eleven, a number of shops and equipment rentals, на пляже в районе Becks Resort я видел прокат каяков. Bars, restaurants, cafes, Muay Thai room, in general – for the micro-beach is quite worthy.
The shallow water and narrowness of Ao Nai Vok is more than compensated infrastructure and very convenient location for the piers and other areas of Phangan.
Houses and hotels on the beach
Within the 200-meter zone from the sea there is a large selection of accommodation. The first line in general deserves special attention because I have never seen such a “raznotravya”. From stone capital houses, to small cubes a la “container with windows”, painted in bright color. About 600 meters of the beach Resorts, apparently the beach is still in demand.

How to find the beach
Leaving Tong Sala do not accelerate much. Right after crossing the river there will be a crossroads on which you will turn right, and immediately begins the area of Ao Nai Wok Beach. Some kind of I will not recommend you especially convenient places for going to the sea. Choose any where you can see water from the road – you will have to walk less on foot.
