О месте: Nai Thon Beach
Nai Thon is a bay of fine sand on Phuket's north-west coast, the southernmost beach of Sirinat National Park, about 7 km south of the airport. Tall trees shade almost the whole shore, and rocky points close the bay at both ends. A small rocky outcrop splits the sand into the main beach and a quieter cove to the south.
A single road runs behind the beach with small restaurants, a mini-mart, a tailor, a dive shop and a few modest hotels. There are no jet skis or parasailing, only a few longtail boats, and the beach vendors keep their distance. Sunbeds and umbrellas are for hire, but many people simply string a hammock between the trees.
From December to April the sea is calm and clear, and the sunsets over the open Andaman are the evening's event. In the low season the waves pick up, the sea becomes too rough for swimming, some places close and the tide leaves debris on the sand. Lifeguards mark swimming zones with flags by day. Local Thai families from Thalang have long made it their beach.

Наша оценка: Nai Thon Beach
4.5из 5
A quiet beach holiday or long stay with good swimming from December to April.
Soft sand, clear water in the high season, shade from tall trees along the whole shore and a quiet village feel, with snorkelling off the rocky points. It loses a little for the low-season months, when the sea is too rough for swimming and the tide leaves debris on the sand.

Чем хорош Nai Thon Beach
Shade all the way along
Tall trees line the back of the beach, so you can find shade anywhere and even sling a hammock for an afternoon nap.
Clear water in season
From December to April the sea is calm and clear, with a gentle slope into the water.
Fish off the rocks
The rocky points at each end of the bay have good snorkelling, with fish around the boulders close to shore.
Red sunsets
Nothing stands between the bay and the horizon, and the evening sky over the Andaman often turns fiery red.
A village, not a resort strip
One road, a few restaurants and shops, and discreet vendors: the bay feels like Phuket before the big developments.
Перед купанием: Nai Thon Beach
Swim when the flags allow
Check the flags before you go in, especially outside the high season.
Best from December to April
The sea is calm and clear from December to April; in the low season, sometimes into November, it is too rough to swim.
Rocks at the points
The snorkelling spots are around boulders at both ends of the bay. Wear water shoes and do not stand on coral.
Longtails at the north end
Local fishermen still work from the far northern end. Keep clear of moored and moving longtail boats.
Old wooden stairs
The wooden staircase from the road at the north end is in poor repair. Take it slowly, and use the road access if you are unsure.

Nai Thon Beach по месяцам
Высокий сезон · с ноября по апрель
Спокойное море, прозрачная вода
December to April: the sea is flat, calm and clear, the hotels fill up and beach restaurants set tables on the sand. This is the time for swimming and snorkelling.
Низкий сезон · с мая по октябрь
Волны, прогулки и красные флаги
May to November: the sea can be rough, and swimming is best avoided from July to November. The village gets very quiet, some places close and the tide leaves debris on the sand, but the beach stays shaded and peaceful.

Nai Thon Beach с детьми
Nai Thon works well for families in the high season: the slope into the water is gentle, trees give shade everywhere, and parking is right beside the sand. Lifeguards are on duty by day, but facilities are few, so bring what you need and swim only in the flagged zone.
- A gentle, sandy slope into calm high-season water.
- Shade under the trees along the whole beach.
- Parking a few steps from the sand.
- Rocks at the ends where older children can spot fish.
- Casual restaurants across the road for lunch.
Как добраться: Nai Thon Beach, парковка
- Из аэропорта, на машине
- 10–20 мин
- Из Патонга, с учётом пробок
- 40–55 мин
- Из Пхукет-тауна
- 40–50 мин
From the airport, turn left at the T-junction just before the terminal, drive a few kilometres and turn right at the signs for the Andaman White Beach Resort and Trisara. The road leads down to the beach, with parking under the trees.
- На машине. About 20 minutes from the airport. From the south, the coast road from Layan winds through forest above the sea.
- На скутере. An easy ride from Nai Yang or Layan; the coast road south of the beach is narrow and hilly.
- Grab и такси. A taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest way; no published bus route reaches the beach.
Парковка. Easy: park by the road in the shade of the trees anywhere along the beach.
Кому понравится Nai Thon Beach, а кому нет

- Long-stay visitors who want a calm base close to the airport, with easy parking and daily essentials.
- Snorkellers happy to swim out to the rocky points for fish around the boulders.

- Swimmers visiting in the low season, when the sea turns rough for months.
Советы: Nai Thon Beach
Park under the trees
Roadside parking in the shade is easy along the whole beach, a few steps from the sand.
Bring a hammock
The trees along the back of the beach are made for an afternoon hammock nap.
Snorkel at the ends
The middle of the bay is sandy; the fish are around the rocks at the northern and southern points.
Mind the stairs
The famous wooden staircase is weathered and wobbly. Go slowly, and take photos from the bottom if in doubt.
Low season looks different
Outside the high season some restaurants close and the tide brings debris; the beach is quieter still.
Book PRU early
The Michelin-starred restaurant at Trisara has few tables; reserve well before your trip.
Combine with Banana Beach
A path from the road south of Nai Thon leads down to Banana Beach, a short detour for a swim in a smaller cove.
Nai Thon Noi is hard to reach
The cove just south is public, but private land blocks the way in; it is easiest for guests of the Andaman White Beach Resort.
