A Pam‑approved paradise, and yes… I’ve been to every single one.
Hey there, beach lover! Looking for the perfect summer escape? Something between family‑friendly fun, romantic sunsets, and “I might never go home again” energy?
Well, buckle up your beach bag, because I’m Pam, and after years of hopping across every island in Thailand (yes, even the ones your ex hasn’t heard of), I’m finally revealing my Top 10 most beautiful beaches in Thailand.
Picture this, white powdery sand that slips through your fingers, water so clear it reflects your next chapter, and greenery so lush your houseplants feel insecure. Time to dive in, literally.
No.10
Koh Pangan
Yes, yes, the Full Moon Party, the island’s wild child. But after you’ve danced your soul out, stay for the quiet beaches, the long‑tail snorkeling, and the “wow, I didn’t know it was this pretty” moments. It’s chaos and calm in one gorgeous package.
No.9
Koh Kradan
Ranked #1 Best Beach in the World 2023, and honestly, she knows it. Koh Kradan is that effortlessly beautiful friend who wakes up looking perfect. Crystal water. Zero drama. 10/10.
No.8
Krabi’s 4 Islands
A sandbank that appears only at low tide, like nature’s magic trick. Three islands connected by one strip of sand. You’ll say “I’m in a postcard”.
No.7
Koh Hey
Just 3 km from Phuket and packed with coral, color, and clear blue water. Do the Sunset Program, trust me. You’ll end the day cruising toward Laem Promthep like the main character you are.
No.6
Koh Phi Phi
Beautiful? Absolutely. Crowded? Also absolutely. But when you step onto Maya Bay, your brain will short‑circuit from the beauty. A day trip from Phuket or Krabi is the way to go.
No.5
Koh Hong in Krabi
Emerald water, a long curved beach, and a 360° viewpoint that will make your camera cry tears of joy. Plus the Koh Hong Lagoon, a hidden hall of turquoise perfection.
No.4
Koh Racha Yai
Just 30–45 minutes from Phuket and full of “I could live here” energy. Turquoise water. Soft sand. Snorkeling that feels like swimming in a screensaver. Pair it with Coral Island for a premium double‑island day.
No.3
Koh Racha Noi
Deep blue water. Zero crowds. It’s giving exclusive, secret, VIP island energy. A hidden gem for people who like to brag later.
No.2
Koh Rok
The Queen of the Andaman. White sand so fine it should be illegal. Clear water that makes you question reality. Often paired with Koh Ha, a snorkeling dream team.
No.1
Koh Similan
The King of the Andaman. My ultimate favorite. Granite boulders, crystal water, coral reefs, and beaches so pristine they look filtered. Visit islands 4, 7, 8, and 9 for the full royal treatment.
Ready to plan your escape?
If you want a stress‑free, “Pam‑approved” itinerary, I’ve already crafted the perfect one. And if you’ve been to any of these islands, spill the tea, I love hearing your stories.
