Beach overall scores
Bang Ben Beach (Ranong) is located outside the Hat Bang Ben 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 sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Bang Ben Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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
"The beach is a great spot for camping and swimming, with clean and shallow water and beautiful pine trees. The National Park Officers do an excellent job of maintaining the facilities. The only downside is that it can be challenging to access the area without your own transportation."
Satchel Clan
"The beach is quite pleasant, albeit the water is not deep enough for swimming. A vast expanse of sand is revealed during low tide, providing ample space for sunbathing and other beach activities. If you wish to avoid the Leamson National Park entrance fee (200B for non-Thai), enter from the right side of the village."
