Stranden in Thailand

Top Coastal Beaches

This selection covers Thailand's premier coastal destinations across the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. Phuket’s west coast dominates the list with snorkeling hotspots like Kata Noi and family-friendly stretches like Karon. For those seeking vibrant nightlife, Pattaya Beach and Koh Samui’s Chaweng Yai offer extensive bar scenes and evening entertainment. Conversely, secluded escapes like Chai Chet on Koh Chang and the pine-fringed Nai Yang provide a quieter look at the country’s coastline, while Rawai serves as a hub for fresh seafood and traditional long-tail boat trips.
