This summer, if you are thinking beaches, think Thailand. We will tell you about the ten best beaches you wouldn’t want to return home from!
Main Beach, Ko Kradan
From the limestone outcrops in the middle of the sea looking like the spine of a dragon to a three-hour kayaking ride covering the entire island, Ko Kradan is as gorgeous as it gets. A beautiful fifty-meter long coral reef running around the two-kilometer long pearly white beach, this is one of the best places to go snorkeling!
Chaweng, Koh Samui
One of the busiest beaches in Thailand, Koi Samui beauty is not affected by the massive crowd during tourist seasons. The tall palms forming an arc over the golden sandy line is a treat for the eyes, especially during a sunrise!
Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi Ley
One of the best backpacking destinations, Maya Bay is nestled in the lap of surrounding cliffs which makes for an almost unbeatable visual treat. Housing a national park, this beauty also made for the iconic locations of Leonardo Di Caprio’s ‘The Beach’!
Railay Beach (west), Krabi
Want to go rock-climbing on a beach? Head straight to the Railey Beach, surrounded by limestone cliffs. The amazing feeling of being isolated from the world follows you around in the locale, which makes this one of the best places for your long-deserved break!
Kata Beach, Phuket
Another great place to rejuvenate is the Kata Beach, located well away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket. One of the best places to surf in the country, you can spend hours lying under one of the palm trees staring at the skyline.
Haad Rin, Koh Pha Ngan
Haad Rin is a stunner, being located on a peninsula which enables you to catch some of the gorgeous sunrise an sunsets on the beach. Not to forget, the very popular Moon Light Parties are held so you know where your next party destination is too!
