Andaman Coast Beaches
Thailand’s Andaman coastline stretches from Khao Lak in the north down through Phuket, Krabi, and the islands beyond, offering some of Southeast Asia’s most dramatic scenery. Limestone karsts, turquoise water, and white-sand beaches define the landscape, with options ranging from lively resort hubs to near-deserted island retreats. The southwest monsoon affects the region roughly May to October, so timing matters when planning a visit.
Locations
Phuket
↓
↑
Thailand’s largest island and one of its most diverse destinations, offering everything from pristine beaches and world-class dining to vibrant nightlife and year-round island-hopping opportunities. The range of accommodation and infrastructure is unmatched in the region, and quieter beaches on the north and west coasts provide a real contrast to the busy south.
Khao Lak
↓
↑
A long, unhurried stretch of coastline north of Phuket that offers some of the region’s most beautiful and uncrowded beaches alongside easy access to Similan Islands diving and Khao Sok National Park. The atmosphere is noticeably calmer and more family-oriented than its neighbours.
Krabi
↓
↑
Koh Phi Phi
↓
↑
One of the most visually iconic island settings in Southeast Asia, with jagged limestone cliffs, crystalline bays, and snorkelling waters made famous by film and photography. Day trips and boat tours showcase its extraordinary scenery, and the diving and snorkelling around the surrounding reefs remains some of the best in the Andaman.
Koh Lanta
↓
↑
Koh Yao Noi
↓
↑
A largely unspoiled island sitting in the heart of Phang Nga Bay, framed by extraordinary karst scenery with views across to Krabi and Phuket. Life moves slowly here — cycling paths, fishing villages, and rubber plantations define the pace — making it one of the finest options in the region for those seeking genuine peace and natural beauty.
Koh Yao Yai
↓
↑
The larger and even quieter sibling of Koh Yao Noi, offering a similar sense of escape with fewer visitors and a more undeveloped character. The scenery is just as spectacular, and the island rewards slow exploration by bicycle or motorbike through its rural interior.
