Nai Harn beach

Filed under: Beaches — Jan Goyvaerts @ 13:32

Nai Harn beach is my family’s favorite beach in Phuket. It’s a nice big stretch of sand and not as crowded as the other west coast beaches.

I like to go there in the morning, before the sun is too high in the sky.

During the low season, things can be pretty quiet. There aren’t a lot of hotels in the area. Though the entire beach is lined with deck chairs, there’s still plenty of space for those who don’t want to rent a chair.

Behind the beach there’s a small wooded area, which is great if you want to enjoy the seaside without getting a tan or sunburn.

Sunsets are often quite nice here. While the crowds are at nearby Promathep cape to watch the sunset, things quiet down at the beach.
