Thailand is a loved holiday destination because it is just perfect and offers all the allures of a great holiday; plenty of holiday shopping, affordable and delicious food, and of course, over 2,500 km of pristine coastline. Let's explore the latter; here is a list of the best beaches in Thailand.
The province of Krabi is tipped to be home to the best beaches in Thailand and Hat Tham Phra Nang is the best. The waters are warm and inviting while the beach is made up of soft powdery white sand. Take along the cameras, folks, because the karst cliffs that rise majestically out of the ocean render a mystical air to the entire region. If you are into adventure, join a tour and climb the cliffs to explore the lush surroundings. If you head over to the western side of the cliffs, look across the Andaman Sea and enjoy the spectacular sights of Chicken Island (Ko Kai), Ko Pada and more. At the base of the cliffs, you will find longboats docked that serve as floating restaurants. Stop over for a refreshing drink and a delicious bite to eat once you are done with your climb.
This beach too is one of the best in Krabi. The longest is Ko Lanta, which is located on the north-western coast. The beach is very touristy and developed. Therefore, you can look forward to plenty of facilities as well as a chance to enjoy loads of fun in the sun. The crescent-shaped beach is made up of soft sand and is ideal for swimming as the water is mostly rock free. For a list of the best beaches in Thailand, you can explore online. Some sites such as Sandy Beach Trips offer you inside information for finding hidden gems that may be located close to your hotel in Thailand.
Ko Samui is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. It is a compulsory stop for those of you seeking fun in the sun and a chance to enjoy time on beautiful beaches. Chaweng is the largest beach there and is well-serviced by resorts, hotels, cafes, clubs, and plenty of shops for you to enjoy all the allures of a great holiday.
This one is a hidden gem as not many tourists know about this pretty little beach. Located in the Nakhon Si Thammarat province, which is about eight hours from the capital Bangkok, this beach is free from modern trappings and is very traditional right down to the local fishing vessels bobbing in the water.
This beach has been a tourist resort since the 1920s and is one of the most popular beaches in Thailand loved for its water sports. A place that was synonymous with the rich and famous, the area was home to the summer palace of King Rama VII. Explore the popular night bazaar there as well as the famous seafood restaurants that promise to wow your tastebuds.
Enjoy exploring Thailand!
