No-Pound Hainanese Chicken Rice at Ao Nang: Authentic Krabi Flavor You Must Try
Hello, I'm mr.hotsia. Today, I want to share my experience eating Hainanese chicken rice in Krabi town, not just in small alleys or ordinary streets, but at a place called"No-Pound"at Ao Nang, a famous tourist spot well known to many. I can say this chicken rice will change your perspective on eating Hainanese chicken rice.
Many times when I visit Krabi, I often hear recommendations for seafood restaurants or the famous Gook Thewada. But this time, I want to suggest changing the atmosphere to try simple homemade-style Hainanese chicken rice here. The No-Pound chicken rice shop is located not far from Ao Nang beach, very easy and convenient to get to, perfect for those who want delicious food with satisfying flavors at affordable prices.

Ao Nang itself is one of the main destinations for tourists visiting Krabi, from beautiful beaches to the lively Krabi night market (read more aboutKrabi Night Market). The No-Pound chicken rice shop is in a small, quiet alley, creating a relaxed atmosphere like dining at a friend's home. From Krabi town, you can easily take a songthaew or taxi to Ao Nang in under 20 minutes.
Upon arriving at the shop, I, mr.hotsia, felt the warmth from the friendly owner’s smile and the aroma of chicken broth rising before sitting down. This charm of a small eatery made me want to share it.
Taste and Signature Dishes of No-Pound Hainanese Chicken Rice
This chicken rice is not ordinary because the secret lies in using tender free-range chicken, boiled just right—not dry or tough. The rice is fragrant and rich with chicken bone broth that seeps into every grain. The special dipping sauce has a sweet, sour, and spicy local flavor, making every bite full of balanced and harmonious taste.
I, mr.hotsia, like to order the regular chicken rice with added chicken liver and crispy pork belly that’s so crunchy it makes you say wow. Everything is fresh and homemade. It’s not just selling chicken rice but telling the story of local life through this single dish.
