The beach boasts stunning vistas and a serene atmosphere. However, the exorbitant fees charged by the green truck taxi drivers are a major drawback. It costs $60 baht to reach the beach and a whopping $200 baht to return, which is a significant burden for visitors to the island.

The beach is lovely, however, a majority of it is reserved for hotel guests. The free section towards the south is not as attractive, and as a result, I didn't spend much time there.

The beach is a beautiful private oasis, surrounded by luxurious resorts. The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, and the beach is impeccably clean. However, it seems that access to the beach is limited to guests of the resorts. Nonetheless, visitors can park at the entrance and walk in, and there is even a private jetty. The sand is pristine and the water appears to be safe for swimming.

In my opinion, the beach in Thailand is a hidden gem that is absolutely stunning! The scenery, water, sand, and weather were all beyond perfect. It's definitely a must-visit destination that's just a few hours away from Bangkok. I can't wait to return and experience its beauty once again!

The island's finest beach is undoubtedly the one with its pristine white sand and crystal-clear, calm waters. It's an ideal spot for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, with kayak rentals available at a nearby hotel for 300-350 baht per hour. Additionally, the beach boasts a beautiful reef area that's perfect for snorkeling.
