Travel to the Best beaches in Thailand
5:33 AMWhat are the best beaches in Thailand?
Railay Beach, Krabi
One of my absolute favorite places in Thailand. Railay is accessible only by boat from Ao Nang or Krabi. There are no vehicles in the town so very quiet and perfect for kids. Several great beaches are within easy reach of the town. Recommended Hotels: Railay Bay Resort & Spa (moderate) • Sunrise Tropical Resort (moderate) • Railay Garden View Resort (budget)
Phra Nang Beach, Krabi
Phra Nang is a short walk from Railay – or rent a kayak and go by sea. Rock climbing near-by and some fun caves to explore. Recommended Hotels: Rayavadee (luxury)
Tonsai Beach, Krabi
Tonsai is only reachable by boat or kayak (or during low tide you can walk to Railay). Beautiful beach. Rock climbing nearby. Recommended Hotels: Dream Valley Resort (moderate) • Tonsai Bay Resort (moderate)
Mai Khao, Phuket
Mai Khao is close to the airport and a great stop after a long flight. Very quiet compared to Phuket’s other resorts. The main reason to stay here is the huge water park with slides at the Centara (great for families). Recommended Hotels: Centara Grand West Sands Resort
Karon Beach, Phuket
A great beach with lots of restaurants and nightlife – though not as wild (or seedy) as Patong. Recommended Hotels: Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa (luxury) • Andaman Seaview Hotel (luxury) • Moevenpick Resort & Spa (moderate) • Golden Sand Inn (budget)
Kata Beach, Phuket
A wonderful beach and town. Phuket can have choppy water but Kata is protected and often calm (and thus one of the most kid-friendly beaches on Phuket). Good quality restaurants are a short walk from the beach. Recommended Hotels: The Shore At Katathani (luxury) • Mom Tri’s Villa Royale (luxury)
Khao Lak
Khao Lak is an hour north of Phuket. A great mix of small town charm and beautiful beaches. Recommended Hotels: The Sarojin (luxury) • Le Meridien (luxury) • Baan Krating Khao Lak Resort (moderate) • Khaolak Banana Bungalow (budget)
Kantiang Beach, Koh Lanta
Great beach for those wanting solitude and sand. Just a hanful of hotels and restaurants – enough to have some choices but not so many as to attract the crowds. Recommended Hotels: Pimalai Resort & Spa (luxury)
Phi Phi Don, Koh Phi Phi
Phi Phi Don is very touristy but is still close to idyllic. The island is dotted with great stretches of sand away from busy Tonsai beach. Rooms are in short supply on Phi Phi so book well in advance. Recommended Hotels: Outrigger Phi Phi Island Resort and Spa (luxury) • Zeavola (luxury) • Holiday Inn Resort (luxury) • Mama Beach Residence (moderate) • PP Ingphu Viewpoint (budget)
Chaweng, Koh Samui
Chaweng is Koh Samui’s largest town and where you’ll find the most nightlife (and a Starbucks). The beach is great too. Recommended Hotels: Amari Palm Reef (luxury) • Centara Grand (luxury) • Baan Chaweng (moderate) • Poppies (moderate) • Ark Bar (budget)
Bophut, Koh Samui
Evening dining is popular on many beaches and Bophut does it as well as any beach. Some consider the sand at Bophut to be a little too course but it’s still one of my very favorite beaches. Recommended Hotels: Anantara Resort & Spa (luxury) • Zazen (boutique) • Peace Resort (moderate) • Smile House (moderate) • World Resort (budget)
Mae Nam, Koh Samui
Mae Nam is very popular with expats and long term travelers. The type of place you want to unpack your bags and hang out for a week (or a month). Recommended Hotels: W Retreat (luxury) • Coco Palm Beach Resort (moderate) • Samui Buri Beach Resort (moderate) • Harry’s Bungalows (budget)
