Guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I agree...The Similans are outstanding. Best snorkeling and diving in Thailand in my opinion. What a shame about the dozens of places that have been destroyed over the past 15 years. Too beautiful for their own good I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidel Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Yeah, isn't it Hat Pra Nang? There's a cave full of phallic symbols, offerings to some Hindu fertility godess at one end. That's beautiful. I also like Koh Chang, Kai ae beach is nice and White Sand (Hat Sai Khao), is pretty nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 If you want to visit a nice beach in Hua Hin you have to go further South than the main one.. which, in my opinion, is shit! Try Khao Takiep which is about 4-5 km south of town or Suan Son which is maybe 2 km further south again. The best beach in the Hua Hin area is at Khao Tao, about 13km south of Hua Hin. You head for Pranburi and take a left when you see the sign for Milford, (I think Milford). Drive around the reservoir, which is itself beautiful, and turn left. It's a nice quiet beach with massive granite rocks sloping into the water on either side of the small bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Yes, you're right. Hat Pranang, not Ao Pranang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 ao nang at krabi is only I visited there & it's very nice IMO. top 2 I visited for overall beauty combined with fun would be white sand ko chang & had rin ko phan ngan for it's amazing full moon parties I voted pattaya for best beach though as that's the beach in los I visited the most so it must be rather unique right?

SiLeakHunt Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 In agreement with you I'd have to highly recommend Haad Rin Ko Pha Ngan. Had some brilliant times there although I believe it's going down the same route as Chaeweng. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 That whole strip of beach from the Dusit in Cha Am down to the Hyatt in Hua Hin is all drab grey looking sand. As you say not the best Hua Hin has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
