BANG NIANG BEACH

Fri, Mar 21, 2008

KHAO LAK

Khao Lak’s Bang Niang Beach

Formerly a haven of backpacker bungalows, Bang Niang Beach is quickly moving into the boutique and upscale resort category.

Long stretches of beach to the north and south provide the visitor with good early morning beach combing strolls.

Bang Niang, for many years, played second team to Khao Lak’s Nang Thong Beach, but today we see a broad range of development that is now rivaling and may soon surpass the Nang Thong area.

New restaurants are popping up everyday as are small shopping centers - these and the local market out on the main road seem to be bringing greater numbers of people to the Bang Niang area every year.

An energetic person can literally walk from Bang Niang Beach down to Nang Thong Beach so continuous are the beaches here.

The thatch shelters on the photo top right of this page are typical of the small restaurants and massage services that are springing up - up and down the beach.

The Ayara Villas Resort is a favorite in the Bang Niang Beach area - partly due to its beachfront location.
