Check road transfer time from Thong Sala Pier or direct resort boat options.
For calm reef-protected waters, cafés and sunset views
Stretching north from Nai Wok through Secret Beach, Salad Beach and Mae Haad, the west coast suits travellers seeking sunset dining and relaxed beach days.
Note shallow reef tides during spring and summer months.
For pier proximity, beach clubs and southern nightlife
Along the southern coast between Thong Sala Pier and Haad Rin peninsula, resorts sit closer to beach events, ferry terminals and lively evening strips.
