NANG THONG BEACH

Khao Lak’s Nang Thong Beach

Nang Thong is the area that was probably first developed and for a long time was the favorite of visitors - if the number of bungalows and resorts along its length are a good measure. Now though, Nang Thong Beach is starting to be rivaled by Bang Niang Beach to the north.

Aside from its gentle slope to the water, and the slow drop of the shelf once in the water - this area is also popular as it is an easy walk into Baan La On for the restaurants and shopping there.

Small shells are often found in abundance in the crooks and crannies of the rocky areas that are found up and down the beach. Not so many rocky areas though that they interfere with a quick dip or a prolonged float in the sea.

Nang Thong Beach is great for strolling, general beach combing and rocky area in the photo below has great snorkeling on the deep side of it.

The southern end of Nang Thong Beach is often called Sunset Beach and is home to some of the earlier resorts in the area - including the beautiful Khao Lak Paradise Resort.
