The sand may be a bit muddy and the water a dark shade of grey, but this beach still offers a wonderful social scene with its array of bars, restaurants, and cafes. While it may not stand out among other Thai beaches, it certainly has its own unique charm and lively atmosphere.

The vast expanse of the beach stretches for miles, and during low tide, it becomes a sprawling 70 meters wide from the resorts to the sea. The shoreline is teeming with life, as one can spot countless crabs scurrying across the sand. It's a sight to behold and an experience to cherish.
