Watch the Sunset at Natai Beach

Natai Beach is located in Phang Nga in mainland Thailand. You get the best of both worlds as Phang Nga is connected to the island of Phuket through Sarasin Bridge but remains far less crowded than its famous neighbor. The drive from Natai Beach to Phuket Airport takes just 25 minutes. Natai Beach itself is a 10-kilometer stretch of golden sand fringed by palm trees… and not much else.

You will also find some small street food stalls selling small snacks and drinks and that is it. No loud bars, no big expensive restaurants. Just a place where the locals come and enjoy the sunset. If you ever wonder what an authentic Thai beach vibe is really like, this is it. Not those beaches full of bars and restaurants you see in tourist places like Phuket and Ko Phangan. Be sure to visit Natai Beach at sunset and stroll around Natai pier and enjoy the moment. The sunset from here is incredible and it is a great place to spend the night as there are some really cool accommodations (with an incredible view and an even more incredibly expensive price) you can find here.
