Thailand is known worldwide for its culture, people, food, beaches, and much more. Beaches in Thailand are without a doubt, some of the most beautiful in the world.
When we think of the beaches of Thailand, we immediately think of the famous Maya Bay on the island of Koh Phi Phi, made famous by the movie The Beach. Although it offers a striking natural spectacle, this beach has lost its authenticity with the influx of tourists.
However, Thailand does not lack paradise beaches, especially in the southern part, this is why we have made this selection of our favorites beaches in Southern Thailand.
Top 7 Most Beautiful Beaches in Southern Thailand
Number 7: Railay West and Phra Nang, Krabi
Of course, these are well-known beaches (and therefore often visited by tourists), but the beaches of Railay West and Phra Nang in Krabi, are worthy of postcard landscapes.
Fine white sand, warm and crystalline water, limestone rock formations… These two beaches have everything it takes to be part of the most beautiful beaches in southern Thailand!
Number 6: Sunset Beach, Koh Lipe
Located in the northwest of Koh Lipe, Sunset Beach is the most authentic beach on the island. Its off-center location makes it a secluded beach where very few boats dock.
Don’t forget your mask and snorkel because the seabed is magnificent. Beyond its marine life and its surrounding landscapes, Sunset Beach is, as its name indicates, ideal to admire the sunsets.
Number 5: Haad Salad Beach, Koh Phangan
Known for its Full Moon Party and all its parties, Koh Phangan island is a hit with party travelers. But this small island of the Gulf of Thailand offers much more.
The beautiful beaches are counted by tens but if we had to retain only one, it would be the beach of Haad Salad.
Emerald-colored water, luxuriant palm trees, fine sand… All the ingredients are gathered to let yourself go to idleness!
If you are going to Koh Phangan, take a quick look at our selection of the 7 best beaches in Koh Phangan.
Number 4: Mai Khao, Phuket
Who said that the beaches of Phuket were all overcrowded with people? Mai Khao beach proves quite the opposite!
Recently opened to the public, it is still a deserted and wild beach as there are few in the area.
Good to know: once reserved for turtles to lay their eggs, you can still see them after dark. So, keep your eyes open and be discreet to enjoy this natural spectacle with the greatest respect!
Number 3: Bamboo Bay, Koh Lanta
Do you dream of being alone on a heavenly beach? Go to Koh Lanta! This island is ideal for those who want to play Robinson Crusoe.
The most adventurous will find their happiness in the extreme south of the island where the beaches are bordered by the jungle. The more athletic can go hiking to reach the beach of Bamboo Bay. The good news? On your way there, you can discover the waterfall of Klong Jark Beach!
Number 2: Coral Cove Bay, Koh Samui
We continue our selection of the most beautiful beaches of Southern Thailand on the island of Koh Samui. And it is on Coral Cove Bay that we invite you to offer you a delicate interlude!
This 200 meters long cove is more isolated from its neighboring beaches (Chaweng and Lamai) and therefore less frequented.
It is characterized by its vertiginous rocks and its transparent water. In any case, the beach of Coral Cove Bay inspires deep calm and relaxation.
(MUST-SEE) Number 1: Similan Island’s beaches
Famous worldwide for its scuba diving, the Similans form an archipelago of 9 islands untouched by civilization.
Fine sand, turquoise water, and hills with lush vegetation as a backdrop. The wild beaches found there are true little natural paradises preserved.
Between the exceptional marine life, the fauna, and the terrestrial flora, nature lovers will be served!
