О месте: Натай
The Natai zone covers the Phang Nga coast just across the Sarasin Bridge from Phuket's northern tip, in Khok Kloi subdistrict of Takua Thung district. Its heart is Natai Beach, about 10 km of almost untouched coastline with soft golden sand, 20 to 30 minutes by car from Phuket's airport.
Inland, Khok Kloi is the district's busiest town: a flat, low-lying community on the Phetkasem Road, the most densely populated part of Takua Thung, and a municipality since 1999. It lies 37 km from Phang Nga's provincial hall and 25 km from the district office.
By the bridge, seafood restaurants and roadside stalls of pineapples and coconut crabs greet arrivals from Phuket. Along the beach, private villas and a few resorts such as Aleenta and Baba Beach Club share the sand with the fishing boats of Natai Pier, and no jet skis or speedboats work the water.

Советы: Натай
Swim from December to April
Outside those months the sea is often unsafe; in November, wait for calm days.
Red flags mean no swimming
Resorts raise them in the low season, when rip currents are strong; never swim past them.
Stay near the pier
Weaker swimmers are safer near Natai Pier on calm days, where locals fish and can help.
Watch for jellyfish
They are common in the low season, rare in the high-season months.
Plan your own transport
Without a car, a taxi or a scooter, getting around Natai is hard.
Buy fruit at the bridge
The stalls just past the Sarasin Bridge sell Phuket pineapples and coconut crabs.
Close to the airport
At 20 to 30 minutes from Phuket's airport, Natai is an easy last night before an early flight.
