Photographer’s Note

Ao Nang is a central point of the coastal province of Krabi. The town consists of a main street, which is dominated by restaurants, pubs and shops. The main beach at Ao Nang is the main departure point for boats to a number of places, there are hundreds of longtail boats which offer access to other beaches on the mainland and on nearby islands.
The long-tail boat is a native to Southeast Asia. They use a common automotive engine as a readily available and maintainable powerplant. There is much variation among these boats, and in rural areas they may be improvised from bamboo and traditional materials— the sole defining characteristic is a secondhand car or truck engine (the source :wikipedia).
