Kho Khao Beach — Attraction in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province

Kho Khao Beach is a long and peaceful stretch of sand located on Kho Khao Island in Phang Nga province, southern Thailand. The island lies just off the coast near Khao Lak and Takua Pa, and it is known for its quiet, laid-back charm. Unlike the busier tourist destinations nearby, Kho Khao Beach offers visitors wide open space, natural scenery, and a sense of escape.

The beach itself stretches for kilometers, with soft golden sand and calm blue waters. Because it is less developed than other islands, the shoreline feels untouched and often nearly empty, making it ideal for long walks, swimming, or simply relaxing under the sun. Casuarina and coconut trees line parts of the beach, adding to the tropical feel, while the gentle waves create a soothing atmosphere.

Kho Khao Island is still largely rural, with small villages and local communities. Along the beach, you will find only a few boutique resorts and family-run bungalows, which keep the area quiet and preserve its authenticity. Several restaurants and beach cafés serve fresh seafood and Thai dishes, often with tables right on the sand.

The island also has historical significance, as it was once part of ancient maritime trade routes, and archaeological sites nearby reflect its past importance. For nature lovers, the surrounding mangroves, lagoons, and inland trails make for rewarding exploration.

Sunset at Kho Khao Beach is particularly beautiful, with the horizon glowing in shades of orange, pink, and purple over the calm Andaman Sea.

Overall, Kho Khao Beach is a hidden paradise—natural, serene, and perfect for travelers seeking relaxation and authenticity away...

You can have your Lunch or Dinner here looking out over the beach and sea. Pick a calm day when there is no wind around. After Storm's the beach can be very dirty and full of rubbish! But normally they clean up very quickly and the beach is back to beautiful! There are not many foreniers around and the menu in the Restaurant's is manly in Thai. Not worry you can manage! You can sit back on your seat and enjoy a coldy looking...

The beach itself is a disgrace. It’s littered with trash for about a mile southwards down to one of the first resort private beaches. Meanwhile there’s people just sitting around doing nothing waiting for tourists to turn up and spend their money oblivious to the ecological reality just footsteps away. I don’t understand how people could just sit and look at this everyday without...
