Nang Thong Beach in Khao Lak was voted a "t-Globe Top 12 Beach" Similar Beaches near Nang Thong: Bang Niang - Lah Own - Khuk Khak - Merlin
Nang Thong Beach is the main beach of Khao Lak. So the town behind Petchkasem Highway is also called Nang Thong although the official name is Ban Bang La On. Most locals call it simply Khao Lak or sometimes Khao Lak Center. This very beautiful sandy beach is interspersed by rocks that give Nang Thong Beach a picturesque backdrop. In the season the calm waters of Nang Thong Beach are suitable for swimming at high and low tides.
During low water tides the rocks form separate "pools" that are fun for families playing in the water. With a little care the sharp shells growing on the rocks are easily avoided. On days when the water is very calm and translucent these rocks can be a heaven for avid snorkelers to explore small creatures in the water.
To the south Nang Thong Beach extends into Sunset Beach. To the north from Lah Own Beach, the Klong Bang Niang River needs to be crossed to reach Bang Niang Beach. ("pull ferry" 10 Baht!)
Extending along Nang Thong Beach, some of the most attractive bungalow villages of the Andaman Coast, foremost Nang Thong Bay Resort which has been superbly managed for over 20 years and developed a very loyal clientele, can be found.
