Hey there, beach lovers! It’s Pam, your island‑hopping, sun‑chasing, coconut‑shake‑obsessed guide to all things tropical. If you’re dreaming of soft white sand, crystal‑clear water, and beaches so beautiful they make your phone storage cry, you’re in the right place.
Today, I’m counting down my Top 10 Beaches in Thailand, all personally visited, sun‑tested, and Pam‑approved. No Google lists. No stock photos. Just real paradise that I actually been there.
No.10
Haad Kahung, Koh Hey
Starting strong with a long, breezy stretch of sand perfect for easy swims and lazy afternoons. Calm water, soft sand, and that “I could stay here forever” energy.
No.9
Banana Beach, Koh Hey
Bright turquoise water, fun activities, and a lively vibe. It’s the kind of beach that makes you say, “Okay Thailand, I see you.”
No.8
Haad Bileh, Koh Hong
A quiet emerald bay wrapped in limestone cliffs. Peaceful, scenic, and absolutely stunning. Bring your camera, it’s a show‑off
No.7
Haad Pirate, Koh Racha Noi
Deep‑blue water and a wild, untouched vibe. It feels like you’ve discovered a secret beach… because honestly, you kind of have.
No.6
Haad Mansai, Koh Rok
White sand so soft it feels fake. Water so clear it looks filtered. Snorkeling here is like swimming in a real‑life aquarium.
No.5
Haad Lek, Koh 4, Koh Similan
Small but mighty. Crystal‑clear water, vibrant marine life, and that classic Similan glow. Perfect for a quick dip or a long float
No.4
Haad Patok, Koh Racha Yai
A premium postcard come to life. Bright turquoise water, soft white sand, and a relaxed luxury vibe that makes you forget what day it is.
No.3
Haad Nah, Koh 4, Koh Similan
A dreamy, quiet beach with see‑through water and soft waves. Ideal for snorkeling, sunbathing, or simply pretending you live here now.
No.2
Haad Maya, Koh Phi Phi Leh
Yes, that Maya Bay. World‑famous for a reason. Towering cliffs, bright blue water, and a protected bay that feels unreal. Even with the crowds, it’s pure magic.
No.1
Haad Kueak, Koh 8, Koh Similan
Your ultimate paradise. Crystal‑clear water, iconic granite boulders, and some of the most breathtaking views in Thailand. This is the beach that makes you fall in love with the Andaman Sea.
