The picturesque beaches of northeast Nakhon Si Thammarat province are just itching to be discovered.

Stretches of undeveloped beach stretch as far as the eye can see. Every beach boasts its own unique characteristics. In addition to white sand and palm trees, there are limestone cliffs and mangrove forests. Many of the beaches remain unspoiled, providing complete privacy.

Khanom is located at the mainland opposite Koh Samui - 80 km north of Nakhon Si Thammarat and 70 km south of Surat Thani. So easy to access Khanom by air and bus/taxi.

Khanom is small but on the verge getting real known by the public in Thailand and overseas. Small resorts and 5 star hotels are popping up along the beaches.
The fresh seafood is cheap and delicious.

All the following beaches run from Khanom.

Nadan Beach was the first quality beach that was open to tourists. Surrounded by coconut plantations, this beach is popular thanks to its beautiful aquamarine water and white sand.

Nai Plao Beach is a phenomenally beautiful beach located at the southernmost point of Khanom Bay. Boulders separate it from Nai Pret Beach.

Thung Yi Beach and Thong Yang Beach are amongst the best beaches that Khanom has to offer.
Thung Yi Beach is only 3km south of Nai Phlao beach. Thong Yang Beach is right next door, but from Khanom, it can only be reached by boat. It's easier to access Thong Yang Beach coming from Sichon to the south.
Both of these beaches are ideal for camping because they are completely isolated. Snorkel right off of the beach or try to catch your dinner. There is an abundance of coral, fish and native wildlife in the area an also not to forget the famous pink dolphins that are swimming in the bay.
Waterfalls flow into the sea and the swimming is excellent.
There are some small stores within walking distance of both beaches that sell food and water.

Some 10 km north of Khanom on the way to Don Sak, the ferry port connecting the mainland to Koh Samui, you will find 3 other wonderful beaches that are amongst the best, not only in Khanom, but in whole of Thailand!
Thong Ching Beach and Thong Node Beach.
These beaches and the nature almost make you believe you are on Phi Phi Island!

Khanom is very convenient located with easy access to airports and shopping facilities.
Krabi is only 2 hours away by road.
You can reach Koh Samui by ferry within 2 hours. You can actually view Koh Samui from the beaches, and if you have a speedboat then it is only a 30 minutes ride.

With all these amazing attractions it is no surprise that Khanom is tipped to become something of a property hot-spot in Thailand in the future.
