Tha Kai - all beaches

This is a small fishing port for the villagers, but there is also a tour boat service point or tour sales at the beginning of the pier, which means that sometimes it is used by tourists as well. It is interesting to see how the villagers live here. The pier is quite short, so when the tide is low, it extends to the end of the pier, creating a wide empty area. As a result, in the evening, villagers come out to catch shells and crabs. Additionally, in the morning, there are villagers returning from fishing and people waiting to buy their catch. Moreover, near the beginning of the pier, you can also spot hornbills.

The journey to this location involves a mix of sealed (concrete) and dirt roads. Some sections are rough and sandy, which can be tricky for scooters or motorcycles, so exercise caution. Despite this, we made it! This beach is very secluded. We arrived in the morning during high tide, so there wasn't much beach exposed, but there was plenty of water for swimming. We had the place entirely to ourselves. To reach the beach, follow the trail from the road, which is about 30 meters (a 1-minute walk). We even spotted a Hornbill and some birds diving for fish. There is a bit of trash around, likely brought in by the waves.

The beach is absolutely stunning and it's worth a visit. Plus, it's great that the beach has free public access.
