 Khao
Lak's Nang Thong Beach
Nang
Thong is the area that was probably first
developed and for a long time was the
favorite of visitors - if the number of
bungalows and resorts along its length are a
good measure. Now though, Nang Thong
Beach is starting to be rivaled by Bang
Niang Beach to the north.
Aside
from its gentle slope to the water, and the
slow drop of the shelf once in the water -
this area is also popular as it is an easy
walk into Baan La On for the restaurants and
shopping there.
Small
shells are often found in abundance in the
crooks and crannies of the rocky areas that
are found up and down the beach. Not
so many rocky areas though that they
interfere with a quick dip or a prolonged
float in the sea.
Nang
Thong Beach is great for strolling, general
beach combing and rocky area in the photo
below has great snorkeling on the deep side
of it. The photo was taken in front of
the Nang Thong Bay Resort.
The
southern end of Nang Thong Beach is often
called Sunset Beach and is home to some of
the earlier resorts in the area - including
the beautiful Khao Lak Paradise Resort
[below].
