Monkey Bay : info and guided tour

Overview of Monkey Bay

Monkey Bay is a small bay located near Ao Nang, in Krabi Province in southern Thailand. Accessible by boat from nearby beaches, it mainly attracts travelers looking for a quieter coastal setting. The spot is known for its clear water, natural surroundings, and the frequent presence of monkeys on the rocky edges.

The bay is not a built monument, but a natural site appreciated for its cliff-lined landscape, narrow beach, and tropical environment. Its appeal comes from the meeting of sea, rock, and vegetation in one of Krabi’s most iconic karst landscapes. This setting makes it a popular stop on excursions around Ao Nang.

Monkey Bay is famous for the macaques that move around freely here and gave the place its name. Visitors come as much to admire the bay as to enjoy views of the coast and the feeling of relative seclusion close to Ao Nang. The result is a simple setting, but one that is highly representative of Krabi’s shoreline.
