One of the best things about Ao Nang is how well — and cheaply — you eat. From beach-road street food to a proper sit-down vegetarian brunch, everything is within a short walk of The Hub Laidback Hostel. Here's where travellers tend to end up.
Vegetarian & vegan brunch
For a proper plant-based brunch, our sister venue The Hub – Cannabis & Vegetarian Café is on site at the hostel, right by Ao Nang Beach. The kitchen is fully vegetarian with clearly marked vegan options — smoothie bowls, avocado toast, cold-pressed juices and specialty coffee, served all day.
Street food & the night market
The Ao Nang night market and the stalls along the beach road are the cheapest, tastiest way to eat — pad thai, fresh fruit, grilled skewers and Thai classics for a few baht. It's all walkable from the hostel and a great way to spend an evening.
