The Very Best of Thailand

By Aaron Maurette


Thailand is well-known for its tropical beaches. You could say there is a beach for each day of the year and a palm tree for every minute of the day. The scenery is simply breath taking but the question is, "What are the best beach in Thailand". Unfortunately with so much to choose from this can be a daunting task. However we have managed to put together a summary of what we consider is the best of Thailand.

Patong Beach in Phuket: This is very first tourist location in Thailand and as a result is today's most developed resort. The beach area is about 3 kilometres long of white sands and turquoise waters with plenty of tropical palm trees. Water sports are readily available and at night you can enjoys the liveliest clubs in the whole of Thailand.

Railay Beach in Krabi: This is a luxurious tropical paradise. With towering limestone cliffs sheltering incredibly beautiful beaches, Railay is a peninsula isolated from mainland Thailand. Is a lot more quieter location compared to the busy Phuket. It is all about the beauty of nature for this beach. No crazy night life, overcrowded sands and just chill out time.

Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi Leh: This beach was made famous by the film ?The Beach? with Leonardo Di Caprio. If you have seen the film then I don?t need to go much about the incredible beauty of this place. If you haven?t let?s just say there is no other beach in the world as stunning as Phi Phi Leh.

White Sand Beach, Koh Chang: Koh Chang?s pristine white sand beaches are perfect for swimming, watching the sunset, sun-bathing or snorkeling in clear warm blue waters. The island hosts more than 400,000 visitors annually, and has increased dramatically over the years.

Lamai Beach in Samui: Situated 5 miles south of Chaweng on the east coast of Samui, Lamai is the second biggest beach. The broad sandy stripe is not as fine as that of Chaweng but the thousands of palm trees shading over the turquoise waters give this beach a more serene and natural atmosphere.

Kata Beach in Phuket: Due to its fairly small size, Kata has a cozy feel about it and is great for families. There are quite a few shops, restaurants and bars around Kata Centre and between Kata Yai and Kata Noi. Kata is perhaps the best compromise between the hectic pace of Patong and some of the quieter beaches on Phuket.
