Before you book

Check walking distance between the beachfront and the main highway dining strip.

Pak Weep & Bang Sak

For tranquil northern bays and boutique retreats

Further north toward Takua Pa, Pak Weep (White Sand Beach) and Bang Sak suit travellers looking for calm coastal scenery and slower resort days.
