User reviews
"In my opinion, the beach in Thailand is a hidden gem that is absolutely stunning! The scenery, water, sand, and weather were all beyond perfect. It's definitely a must-visit destination that's just a few hours away from Bangkok. I can't wait to return and experience its beauty once again!"
Chudy Tomek
"The island's finest beach is undoubtedly the one with its pristine white sand and crystal-clear, calm waters. It's an ideal spot for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, with kayak rentals available at a nearby hotel for 300-350 baht per hour. Additionally, the beach boasts a beautiful reef area that's perfect for snorkeling."
