Nai Thorn Beach

By Paula Parker

Enjoy a Secluded or Romantic Getaway at Nai Thon Noi 

Nai Thorn Beach is one of the most romantic and secluded destinations in Phuket.

The beach itself is rather small; however, with its white sand and crystal-clear waters, it’s simply stunning.

I would have to say that Nai Thorn is among one of the cleanest beaches in Phuket and the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, or for a private beach wedding in Phuket.

This small, secluded beach was used as a backdrop for the movies "The Beach and The Quest".

Nai Thorn Beach, Phuket


Nai Thorn Beach is located just to the north of Banana Beach, one of the best hidden beaches in Phuket, and just south of Nai Thon Beach on the southwest coast of Phuket.

Nai Thorn is also known as Nai Thon Noi, and as the name suggests, is somewhat smaller than the neighbouring Nai Thon Beach located to the north.

During the low season, this beach, along with many of Phuket’s west coast beaches, can be at times too dangerous to go swimming, so for your own safety, if you see a red flag on the beach, don’t go in the water.

All beaches in Phuket are public beaches, and this one is no exception; however, the beachfront is solely occupied by the Andaman White Beach Resort.

Nai Thorn Beach Activities

The Andaman White Beach Resort provides cabanas and sunbeds along the beachfront.

The resort also has a range of fun beach activities for its guests to enjoy, such as canoeing, paddleboarding and snorkelling.

You won’t find any vendors selling their wares on the beachfront, jet skis or speed boats.


Restaurants | Nightlife | Shopping

The only restaurants and bars you will find along the beachfront belong to the Andaman White Beach Resort.

Naturally, the prices here are a bit higher compared to the restaurants along the nearby Nai Thon Beach.

The resort has a bar located directly on the beach that serves a variety of drinks and food, including grilled sandwiches and pizzas.

Just back from the beach is the Coconut Bar, which is open all day and is the perfect place to sit back, relax and watch the spectacular sunsets.

The best way to see the beach at Nai Thorn is to book into the Andaman White Resort or take a longtail boat ride from one of the other nearby beaches.

The best time to visit Nai Thorn beach is during the high season.
