1. Hua Hin Beach, Hua Hin
This beach on the Gulf of Siam is immensely popular for locals and travellers, thanks to the flat stretches of beach, plenty of things to do and the ease of travel from Bangkok. It is convenient & family friendly.

2. Phra Nang Beach, Ao Nang
Phra Nang beach is a short walk from Railay beach, through a cave shrine filled with monkeys, the beach at Phra Nang is one of Thailand’s most photogenic beaches yet. With a glamorous entrance via the sea you can rent a kayak from Railay beach and arrive in style.

3. Railay Beach, Krabi
Railay Beach is quiet, sporty and only accessible by boat. With only a small island on the horizon, majestic cliffs surrounding the beach and crystal clear waters. From rock climbing, swimming and snorkelling, you wouldn’t want too much else but admire the gorgeous scenery, so prepare to relax.

4. Haad Rin, Koh Phangan
With its soft, gold sands and gently sloping coast make Haad Rin ideal for swimming and enjoying the surrounding scenery.

5. Long Beach, Koh Lanta

6. Thong Nai Pan Noi, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani Province
The north of Koh Phangan is where you will find Thong Nai beach, it is one of quietest and possibly the most appealing beaches. The adjacent golden bays of Thong Nai Pan and Thong Nai Pan Noi, are surrounded by lush greenery and have a natural charm and calming nature to it.

7. Kluai Beach
Koh Kood Koh Kood is the country’s fourth biggest island but is thinly populated and barely developed for tourism. The coastline can be rocky, scrub-like and lined with mangroves but it is also dotted with unspoilt beaches. Kluai Beach is the island’s most tranquil beach yet, with very fine sand and seaweed.

8. Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi Ley
Part of a little island adjacent to Ko Phi Phi, the beach is nestled in a small bay and surrounded by tall limestone cliffs. The beach can only be visited during the day by boat trips.

9. Patong beach, Phuket
This is the largest beach on the island and possibly the country’s most popular beach on Phuket Island. With a wide coastline, soft white sand, warm water and plenty of hotels, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. There will always be something to do & definitely kid friendly.

10. Chaweng, Koh Samui
Chaweng beach is well developed and can get very busy but this lends the place a buzzy atmosphere that does not diminish the qualities of this beautiful beach with its pale golden sand that bends in a graceful arc, backed by plenty of palms it most certainly a beautiful spot to relax.
