Nai Thon Beach

Nai Thon Beach is located on the North West coast, South of Nai Yang and North of Layan Beach, and has so far escaped major development; it reminds me of what Patong was like 18 years ago, unspoilt.The beach is 1km in length and also lies within the Sirinat National Park, no entry fee is required.

Nai Thon beach would have to be one of the most isolated beaches in Phuket, not many tourists go to this beautiful beach, what a shame...

During the high season (November to April) there are sun beds for rent for around 80 to 100 baht. The water is crystal clear and the sand is so soft that it squeaks, casuarina trees offer shade from the sun.

There are rocky headlands at either end of this cove shaped beach, making it a great spot for snorkelling, scuba diving or just relaxing.

The 5 Star ITC Master Dive Center is located on the beach road as well as a few restaurants with good food and great prices.

Taxi's from here to Patong are about a 40 minute drive and around 800 baht.

Dangerous undertows during May to October, and you will find that the beach is deserted during this time.

There are a few hotels and resorts as well as budget hotels, Naithonburi Beach Resort is great for those wanting peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Patong.

How to get there:

The drive to the beach is spectacular, winding through valleys that are full of rubber plantations and hills overlooking the Andaman Sea, from Surin village drive North past Bangtao beach turn off for 3kms and turn left when you reach a small villiage.

or

Travel north on the Thep Krasatti Road route 402 through Thalang and turn left into route 4031,and turn left at the Nai Thon sign and follow it for 2kms to the beach.
