Ban Hat Sai Ri: Cele mai apropiate plaje - 51 pe o rază de 94 km

It's a beautiful beach with great weather, but you need to be a fairly good driver to get there because the road is steep. However, it's well worth the drive once you get there.

A very beautiful, quiet beach. I planted a palm tree here myself and would like to be kept updated on how it's doing.

Loc minunat pentru snorkeling. Mulți pești colorați lângă stânci. Aici atmosfera este frumoasă și calmă.

Beautiful beach with a small cove. Ideal for swimming and snorkeling; it wasn't too crowded, very manageable, which was a good thing. Swimming and snorkeling are excellent, and about 50 meters out there's a large rock in the sea that you can reach with a rope and jump off. It's definitely a lot of fun, but for inexperienced climbers, it could end badly. There are many small beach bars on the hillside offering drinks, food, and seating.

Worth the trip for: 1) Beautiful sea 2) Very clear water 3) Fine white sand beach 4) Shady and pleasant 5) Restrooms available 6) Parking available. Areas for improvement: 1) Clean restrooms and showers 2) Security 3) Lighting.

Close to tourist attractions, including Ao Thung Sang.

When I made a turn the signal was blocked by the cliff. Then someone came talking to me in thai but missed it because I cannot use the translator.

Thung Yang Beach, Pathio: A Hidden Gem in Chumphon – Peaceful, Quiet, and Incredibly Relaxing 🌴 Thung Yang Beach is another hidden gem in Pathio District, Chumphon Province. Because it's not yet widely known, it retains much of its natural beauty, tranquility, and unspoiled charm. It's perfect for those seeking escape from the hustle and bustle, a relaxing getaway to listen to the waves, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy a chill seaside atmosphere. Highlights of Thung Yang Beach: * Tranquility: Thung Yang Beach is a small, quiet beach with few crowds, ideal for relaxation, unwinding with nature, and recharging. * Beautiful Nature: The beach stretches long, surrounded by pine trees, with clear blue waters and uniquely shaped rock formations, making it a distinctive feature of the beach. * Camping Area: For camping enthusiasts, Thung Yang Beach offers beachfront camping areas, allowing you to experience nature up close, listen to the waves, watch the sunset, and wake up to the sunrise. * Activities: Besides relaxing, swimming, and camping, you can also fish, stroll along the shore, take photos, or kayak. Getting There: The route to Thung Yang Beach is the same as to Thung Sai Beach. However, about 2 kilometers further on, the road becomes unpaved. All types of vehicles can access it, but drivers should exercise caution.

Oameni uimitori, locație uimitoare. Un resort liniștit pe plajă, cu personal și proprietari minunați. Bucătăria și meniul lor sunt de asemenea excelente. Vă mulțumim foarte mult, ne vom întoarce des.

In my opinion, the beach has a stunning view, refreshing air, and fantastic food. The receptionists are lovely and there are plenty of beautiful coconut trees. It's definitely worth the cost.

Am observat o broască țestoasă în timp ce vizitam această plajă! Dacă înoți spre partea dreaptă după-amiaza, ai putea avea norocul să vezi și tu una 🐢💙 Plaja este ușor accesibilă cu bicicleta și are nisip auriu.

Priveliștile de pe plajă sunt foarte frumoase, dar malul nu este grozav. Intrarea în apă este acoperită cu pietre ascuțite și corali, deci este foarte ușor să te rănești când intri în apă. Apa este puțin murdară.

Beautiful sandy beach with delicious food on both sides! No high waves as they are broken by rocks, and it's not crowded. Also great for snorkeling!

Sunch a great beach and very calm. You can see a lot of fish a d the water is very clear!! There is a good small restaurant " Siam cookies" where you can dit and relax after a good swim. Not very difficult to come by scooter. My favorite spot in Koh Tao.

Plajă frumoasă într-o baie retrasă. Multe proprietăți abandonate. Necesită curățare, dar încă frumoasă.

It's a very quiet beach, almost like a private beach. The waves were very calm the day I visited.

Această plajă din Koh Tao este aparent cea mai bună conform unor oameni care se uită la accesibilitate, preț și comoditate. Nu trebuie să plătiți pentru a intra, dar probabil veți cheltui bani la unul dintre resorturile sau barurile de-a lungul coastei. Dar hei, cel puțin vă puteți bucura de plajă fără să vă ipotecati casa sau să vindeți un rinichi. În ciuda vânturilor care pot face restul insulei să pară ca o zonă de uragan, această golf este de obicei liniștită. Este un loc decent pentru snorkeling și înot în apă mică, deci dacă vă place acest lucru, vă puteți distra. Dacă doriți doar să vă relaxați și să nu faceți nimic, atunci această plajă este recomandată în totalitate. Mai ales dacă stați la una dintre cazările de pe mal. Pentru că de ce să vă deranjați să explorați insula când puteți sta pe nisip și să beți o băutură, nu-i așa?

The East side of the beach is much cleaner and have clearer water for some reason, by the Big Bubble Restaurant. nothing exceptional though

Koh Tao's famous beach may be known for its nightlife, restaurants and lively atmosphere, but at sunrise it becomes a wonderful place for open-water swimming. I found Sairee Beach particularly good for longer swims. The water reaches a comfortable swimming depth relatively quickly, approximately 4–5 m in places, with good visibility, plenty of fish and fewer sea urchins than at some other beaches on the island. You can swim hundreds of meters along the coastline, using visible landmarks and buoys to practice open-water navigation. Early morning is the best time, ideally before 8:30 AM, when diving boats and other tourist activities begin increasing. Many boats anchor farther offshore, approximately 300–400 m from the beach, so swimmers must remain aware of vessel movements and avoid assuming that buoys create a protected swimming lane. The beach is also a lovely place to enjoy sunrise before the crowds arrive. There are rocks where I could discreetly leave my belongings, although I wouldn't consider them secure storage for valuables. **Google Rating: ★★★★★ 5/5** **TriathlonTrips Open-Water Swimming Rating: ★★★★☆ 4/5** An excellent tropical swimming location with clear water, good depth and opportunities for longer endurance sessions and navigation practice. Early mornings are particularly enjoyable, but boat traffic and the absence of a clearly protected swimming zone keep it below the exceptional 5★ category.

Postcard-perfect from afar, but plastic waste is everywhere, practically every 3 meters: plastic bags, straws. What a shame not to care about the environment! Furthermore, the sand is covered in gray plankton; it's dirty, I didn't want to swim. The water isn't clear at all. Bars and restaurants everywhere that look quite pleasant with chill music and nice decor. I only recommend this beach for sunbathing/going to a bar/restaurant, but not for swimming! The water seems polluted here, with mud and too much green plankton! There are much prettier beaches. Keep walking!

There's a beach road, reasonably priced rooms, and it's located near many delicious restaurants.

Peaceful, rustic, with few shops or accommodations. Tourists seem to have gone to the islands, so the town doesn't seem to be recovering much.

Nu se întâmplă prea multe aici, există un templu alb frumos (dar încă în construcție/renovare/abandonat, nu știu), totuși zona este pașnică.

Ao Bo Mao has fine, soft sand and is very quiet and peaceful. It's a very long beach. I went on a Friday, April 25, 1968. You can park your car under the trees near the beach; it's on the right side of the road, between Laem Taen and Baan Ton Mai Uat Chum. I didn't notice if there were restrooms. There was some trash on the shore, but the beach itself was quite clean.

The long stretch of beach with fine sand is perfect for swimming.

Punctul de pe Google Maps nu se potrivește. Trebuie să mergi până la capăt pentru a găsi plaja, Chumphon Secret Beach.

Abundența de scoici de cap de viezure găsite în această zonă costieră este cu adevărat remarcabilă. Vasta gamă de aceste delicioase crustacee este o dovadă a ecosistemului prosper al plajei. Nu se poate să nu fii uimit de numărul impresionant de scoici de cap de viezure care pot fi găsite aici. Este cu adevărat paradisul iubitorilor de fructe de mare.

Tawanchai Beach: Observe the daily life of fishermen in the morning as boats bring fresh seafood ashore. The beach is quiet and peaceful, with a pleasant atmosphere in the mornings and evenings because the weather isn't too hot. Swimming is possible, and there are sea snails to dig for along the shore.

Such an anticlimax, we made a hike to a dump and had to pay 100bth for it!

Awesome beach to snorkel at - We saw 2 sea turtles which was amazing.

Peaceful atmosphere, free parking, free seating area on mats, and restaurants along the street.

I visited the initial part of the beach (closest to Chumpon) in June, and in the morning I was bitten several times by sand flies. Be careful; run away at the first bites, otherwise they'll fill you up and you'll have to resort to cortisone ointment and antihistamines.

Worth the trip for: 1) Beautiful sea 2) Very clear water 3) Fine white sand beach 4) Shady and pleasant 5) Restrooms available 6) Parking available. Areas for improvement: 1) Clean restrooms and showers 2) Security 3) Lighting.

Beautiful beach in Jomson Bay! The water is gorgeous, clear, and perfect for swimming. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and not too crowded, making it even more peaceful. There's also a bar and restrooms available, which is convenient for spending several hours there. The palm trees, white sand, and overall setting are truly stunning. The only slight drawback is the 100 baht entrance fee, but the experience is definitely worth it. I highly recommend it! 👍

The hidden gem of Koh Tao. holds a special place in my heart. I dream that they’ll create a decent, quiet eco-resort here, and clear away the trash and old structures. Entrance now costs 100 thb

Dramă foarte distractivă

The atmosphere is nice, and the beach is very private. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but not too difficult. There's a lot of trash on the beach; it would be much more pleasant to visit if it were cleaner.

Beautiful, clear water, quiet, and incredibly peaceful.

The atmosphere was great, deserted, quiet, and very breezy. However, the sea water was very dirty and not clear at all, just like in the review photos. But the view was beautiful, I liked it a lot. It's not suitable for swimming; it's more suitable for just sitting and enjoying the sea breeze. It's really not suitable for swimming in the sea.

It's very beautiful; you can go and relax there when you have some free time.

The best beach I've ever been to.

The best ocean... It reminds me of Uluwatu's Melasti plus a spoonful of Padang Padang... 🇹🇭🤿🐟 …

Locul de snorkeling de pe această plajă este fantastic! Am avut ocazia să văd o broască țestoasă uriașă și mulți rechini pentru bebeluși. Pe dezavantaj, camera are nevoie de renovări. A trebuit să ne ocupăm de un număr semnificativ de furnici pe pat în fiecare seară, chiar și după comutarea camerelor. Din fericire, am fost relocați într -o cameră mai spațioasă, cu o priveliște absolut uimitoare. Din păcate, micul dejun a fost dezamăgitor și nu avea aromă. M -am simțit regretabil că am plătit pentru asta. Mai mult, locația este destul de retrasă, de aceea este important să ai un șofer de scuter calificat.

În iunie 2023, am avut plăcerea de a rămâne în această stațiune pentru trei nopți. Camera noastră avea un balcon privat, cu vederi uimitoare asupra oceanului, ceea ce îl face locul perfect pentru snorkeling și scufundări. Camera în sine nu era doar frumoasă, ci și curată impecabil. Ne -am bucurat de un delicios mic dejun tip bufet chiar pe plajă, iar spa -ul stațiunii a fost pur și simplu uimitor. Ne-am îngăduit într-un tratament ceresc de masaj facial de două ore și de ulei. Bazinul și bara de piscină au fost, de asemenea, facilități încântătoare. Personalul din stațiune a fost incredibil de amabil, de ajutor și primitor. Așteptăm deja cu nerăbdare următoarea noastră vizită.

Haad Sai Dee is a quiet beach, perfect for relaxation. The water is very clear and it's not crowded. However, be careful of jellyfish during the rainy season.

Very peaceful, swimming impossible due to the waves. A fun, free boat museum for children.

Plaja are o atmosferă liniștită și localnicii sunt primitori. Te simți în siguranță și sunt mai mulți rezidenți decât vizitatori. În plus, plaja are nisip auriu.

Not suitable for the elderly due to the long walk to the ferry. Tickets that have already been booked need to be exchanged for new seat reservations. The staff at the pier and on the ferry are very friendly.

It's nice and clean here for a walk.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The sea view was beautiful, the sky was clear, and it was very relaxing.

Peaceful, rustic, with few shops or accommodations. Tourists seem to have gone to the islands, so the town doesn't seem to be recovering much.
