Beach overall scores
Patai Galah Beach (Satun) is located outside the Ao Molae settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Ko Lipe island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is truly a hidden gem! I've visited twice for a few hours each time and never encountered another person. To find it, simply follow the path until it veers into the jungle, then take a small path to the left that leads down to the beach (it should take no more than 5 minutes)."

"Upon arriving at the beach, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a virgin beach with no amenities. It seemed as though no one had been there before."
