plahgat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Most beaches in Thailand nowadays are no longer serene, quiet and exotic looking, lots of tourists everywhere! Depends what kind of beach you are looking for? Koh Samet in Rayong province is not too far from BKK, and has nice beaches, although I haven't been here since 2001 so not sure how it looks like today!? :rolleyes: Plahgat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lev123 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 What are you looking for? A place to chill out and read? A place to party? A place for both? Busy, isolated, P4P scene? Lots of options.....be a bit more specific and I (and many others) will have plenty of recommendations for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storytime Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Where's that Island with a lake in the middle, you can't fish their because its sacred land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plahgat Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mu Koh Angthong Archipelago N.P. outside Koh Samui, has a small limestone Island Koh Mae Ko, with a closed in lagoon in the middle, it has underwater connection with the outside sea so it's salt water, but never heard of anyone trying to fish in there!? They have daytours from Koh Samui. These islands were the original location of the book, "The Beach" , but the moviemakers decided to use Maya Bay in Koh Phi Phi instead as a background to the film with Leonardo DiCaprio in the main role.

westexpat3 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 If you are looking for serene i would suggest Koh Phayam off ranong. But at this time of the year it will be almost shut down with the storms. One of the few islands left that has not be changed by tourism. February is the best during the cashew festival. Surfing, diving whale sharks. No Russian but full of germans.

SunSeeker Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Being stuck in some place with no tourist infrastructure might prove to be less exciting than they expected for a lot of people. There are quieter beach areas in both Ko Samui and nearby islands and Phuket. You can also get to visit more touristy places with good restaurants, bars and so forth when you need a break from all that serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
