TEMPO.CO, JakartaThailand, also known as the Land of Smiles, is a favorable destination that draws thousands of international tourists every year. The tropical country boasts sandy beaches, pristine shores, vibrant cultures, and delightful cuisines. 

Those keen to have a tranquil holiday by the waves should check out these best beaches in Thailand, which have been famous for the stunning and almost unattainable seascapes. 

8 Best Beaches in Thailand 

Citing from Conde Nast Travel and Hotels ID, the Kata Beach in Phuket is universally recognized as one of the best beaches in Thailand. Here is the list:

1. Kata Beach, Phuket 

Soft gold sand, crystal-clear blue water, pleasant tropical weather—what else could you ask for a perfect vacation time? As one of Thailand’s most beloved destinations, Kata Beach goes beyond all of that to pamper its visitors. The pristine beach is widely known to offer the perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant activity, with its array of water sports.

2. Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui 

Situated only a 10-minute cab ride from Samui International Airport, Chaweng Beach attracts holiday seekers like no other. Its natural wonder stretches along as one of the longest on the island of Koh Samui, allowing you to marvel into the beauty leisurely. Worry not about conveniences, as the destination is home to an ample number of dining options and recommended accommodation places.

3. Donald Duck Bay, Similan Islands

Famous for its unique rock formations, Donald Duck Bay is a breathtaking escapade enclaved by the stunning Similan Islands. As a part of a national park, its magnificent beauty is well preserved by local governments. Spend your day off close to growing coral nearby while snorkeling around the serene paradise

4. Lamai Beach, Koh Samui 

Unlike the festive Chaweng Beach, Lamai Beach reserves a much quieter ambience, inviting beachgoers to feel the refreshing sea breeze and the soft white sand. Be mindful of your steps, as there’s a high chance you’re going to encounter box jellyfish flying in the waters, especially during their most active period between October and December. Once relaxed and fulfilled, catch the cultural occurrence at Lamai Night Market, where locals blend naturally with tourists alike.

5. Railay Beach, Krabi 

Railay, a small peninsula of Krabi, deserves a place of its own as Thailand’s most captivating holiday destination site. With its high-ranking beaches come striking rocks, a secret lagoon, stunning caves, and pristine sands that make a spectacular backdrop to your vacation photographs.

6. Surin Beach, Phuket 

As one of the most popular exquisite beaches in Thailand, Surin Beach has been making a feature in multiple tourism advertorials, owing to its turquoise water. The seaside scenery is always a feast in Suri Beach, so be ready to capture every part of it to flaunt it across social media.

7. Patong Beach, Phuket 

As with many beach destinations in Phuket, Patong Beach is largely associated with growing crowds throughout the year, all thanks to the island’s elaborate lodging options and extensive relaxation places. Even so, visitors are granted a merry holiday with plenty of eateries and Instagrammable spots.

8. White Sand Beach, Koh Chang 

White Sand Beach is a hidden gem along Koh Chang’s spread, famous for its beautiful landscapes and serene atmosphere. This quiet holiday site is perfect for those wanting to have some respite amidst chaotic crowds, where swimming and sunbathing become must-do activities every waking day. 

There’s nothing more rewarding than spending some relaxing days across the best beaches in Thailand, so adjust your holiday accordingly to find fewer crowds flocking the tourist areas.
