if you're coming to Thailand post pandemic and you're looking for a list of the most beautiful
beaches to visit when you come here this is the video for you you see my name is paddy doyle
and i just visited every single province in this amazing country and in doing so i visited dozens
and dozens and dozens of beautiful beaches and i've sat down and i've created this list for
you this video is a part of a series of videos where i overlook the best of thailand we've got
the best provinces the best beaches the best islands the best foods and the best temples
all of these videos are linked next to this video and in the description below so if you're
coming to thailand and you need a useful travel guide these sets of videos for you are perfect
yanoi beach which is actually just on the other side of my shoulder down that cliff i was going
to film there but it's a bit of overcast today but every other day when i've been down there wow
what a beach here in phuket it's part of this cape which is about four or five beaches long
absolutely gorgeous very very stunning area of phuket but that beach down there that's my
favorite on this stretch because that beautiful rock formation in the middle it splits the beach
in half there's um a lot of shelter from the wind so it's quite good to swim very good for
snorkeling in fact that island just over there you can rent a paddle board you can rent a kayak
or you can just swim over there it's not far and some of the best snorkeling in the whole phuket
is right over there yanoi beach in southern phuket is number 10 for a very good reason it's beautiful
in the province of crabby is riley beach now this is kind of a two or three for one because
it's a strange geographical marvel rylai beach because it feels like you're on an island the only
way to get there and get back is on a boat but it is technically part of the land it's just those
amazing limestone cliffs cut off all the roads so you do have to get there by boat and when you do
you're greeted with some of the most incredible limestone formations in the country of thailand
some of the best calm stillest waters great kayaking at sunset you can go on one of
those glass bottom tours and learn about the jellyfish and you can swim with the plankton
and then on the other side you've got the famous penis cave with another beautiful beach
and just it's just paradise riley beach
stay there for two or three days really unwind and just relax in complete paradise
on the beautiful island of kokud there are many beautiful beaches but my favorite was
bang bao and it's made the top 10 because what a place to be at sunset you see they
have these wooden piers that go out and a few of them are actually in disrepair but
the local kids go fishing there there's a place to sit and relax and enjoy the sunset
people just take beautiful photographs there's not many people there it's really really
beautiful i mean the whole stretch of that coast of cocoon is littered with other fantastic beaches
just nice to hang out with the local dogs fishing it's nice to hang out with the local kids fishing
a real local beautiful beach on a real local choir island of kokud if you want to know more about
kokud and that beach all the information and all the other information on every beach in this video
is in the description so go get lost in the description if you do want to find out more
on the island of comook is pearl beach it's a spearhead shape so on one side
and on the other they come up and meet at the very tip and you can literally stand
on the tip get some amazing photographs fly your drone absolutely incredibly beautiful and when
it looks back on the mountain it's just one of the most beautiful views in southern thailand for sure
but another reason why i really like this beach is just out of the sandy area is seagrass and
feeding on that are do gones wild do gones a little bit similar to manatees big huge sea cows
and if you're lucky you can just snorkel out there and swim with them in fact the best thing
to do is on ko muk go get a long tail and do a do gone spotting tour it's very responsibly done
they turn off the engines it's very quiet and you just observe them from afar but if you're on pearl
beach and you just happen to be snorkeling keep an eye out because not only will you see crystal
clear waters beautiful tropical fish but you might have an amazing encounter with a dugong
we just saw a dugong right here next to the boat
but first a very quick message from the sponsor of this video cali case if you
are coming to thailand this summer then you are going to want to check out cali case
they make phone cases which are waterproof and they can float and they come in a range of colors
and sizes and you get peace of mind because not only is it obviously waterproof but if you do drop
it in the ocean it floats to the top and you can grab and save your precious phone and obviously
because phones nowadays have amazing cameras you probably don't need to spend 300 on one of these
in fact you just need to spend 30 on one of these to get the same results and if you use my code at
checkout you get an additional 20 off thank you to cali case for sponsoring this video kladang beach
on the island of kladang itself is the epitome of paradise the most crystal clear waters
the most white golden sands combined together people say kolipe is the maldives of thailand
but i think coca dang is way more tropical paradise if you're looking for that textbook
postcard crystal clear turquoise waters palm trees and a relaxing atmosphere this is the beach for
you it's accessible by the mainland takes about half an hour by speed boat there's one or two
resorts there it's actually famous for underwater weddings apparently that's a trend on instagram
but i didn't see it for real but uh yeah ko kradang beach paradise and it's made the top 10.
okay we're in the top five and how can we have a top 10 best beach video without mentioning
maya bay on pplay in the province of krabi famous from the movie the beach obviously
leonardo dicaprio and his friends swim and find this island and in the movie and in real life it
is as beautiful as in the movies even more so in my opinion now it's been closed for several years
they tried to you know just keep it away from human activity in boats and the wildlife came
back and the paradise returned because it was a bit overrun let's face it but now
they still do a little too much for me like you do come in the back and you have to go through this
beautiful nature trail you they charge you two or three hundred bar i think if you're foreign to get
on the beach you can't swim in the sea anymore but for good reason guys they're trying to keep this a
paradise for the animals and even when i was there there was baby nurse sharks swimming right next to
the sea and so if we were in there with our sea oils and our sunscreen and all the stuff that was
ruining the vibe there before if we just started doing that again it would uh scare off all these
animals so if you do go go early enjoy paradise it's ridiculously beautiful just remember you
can't swim and uh yeah that's it maya bay absolutely gorgeous has to be in the top 10.
elaine i bet you haven't heard of this one in the province of chiang paon
this is a personal choice because i lived at this beach for about three years
and it's just it's just fantastic if you're coming down the coast of thailand and you're looking
for a little bit of a different vibe if you're looking for a local beach that's not too busy
but it has places to stay it has delicious seafood and in the afternoon it typically
rains around five o'clock most days in the rainy season and it creates these beautiful rainbows and
it's just fantastically beautiful very local and one of the most dearest beaches to my
heart so that's why it has to make the top 10. hat tongue will aim in the province of
on my favorite island koh samui there is a tiny beautiful little cove and it's called crystal bay
it's also known as silver bay depending on what side of the beach you go to or what sign you're
looking at but i'm going to call it crystal bay crystal clear waters beautiful rock systems
and you can rent kayaks there i've done breathing work there and like ice challenge things you know
meditation and all that kind of thing a cool community of local expats who live and run that
beach there's even a 24 hour webcam which i'll link in the description so you can look at the
beach at any time of the day on any time of the year and just bring yourself back to paradise
crystal bay in kosamuri paradise beautiful and uh one of the hidden gems on koh samui
there's an island in the middle of nowhere in trap province called ko kam and i've nipped on a little
long tail boat kind of thing went over there to check it out
what a beach what a beach i actually couldn't believe my eyes there are these black dark
black rocks they almost look like they were formed in a volcano and i've never
seen rocks like this before anywhere else in thailand and it contrasts so incredibly with
the crystal clear waters and the white sand i mean it's the whitest sand i've ever seen
and just this is just paradise and it's called the abandoned beach because there is a five-star
resort that got almost finished in fact they were actually doing the wiring all of the
structural work was done and then the authorities stopped the completion of the hotel apparently
they didn't have the correct rights and requests or whatever so there's an abandoned five-star
hotel but they still have staff there who are cleaning and maintaining the beach that you can
buy drinks there there's nowhere to stay guys this beach is just a day visit thing but you will not
want to leave this is the second most beautiful beach in thailand and it is ridiculously beautiful
again in the province of trash there is an island called ko y and there are a few little bays and
other beaches there but there's one called paradise beach and when i was there i put
the camera on the tripod and i captured about an hour's worth of crystal clear paradise 4k footage
that i thought that maybe in one day i could put into a video where people could just watch
and relax to paradise and this was the beach for that you can stay at this beach even on the day if
you rock up there are accommodations it's quite cheap wooden beach huts with a fan but there's
one particular hut which is extremely famous within the thai local community because it's just
super scenic and it's right on the beach it's got these painted bright blue seats it just looks so
beautiful but that cabin or that wood uh beach hut books up months and months in advance and
i'll leave the link if you do want to book it you have to book it on facebook but it will be booked
up months and months ahead of time so if you are coming to thailand in say three or six months time
have a look on their facebook group and see if you can request to stay there see if it's available
because it's a beach cabin uh you know a wooden huts with a fan it's nothing luxurious but you are
going to be in the most scenic spot on the most beautiful beach in the country of thailand in my
opinion anyway so yeah ko wai paradise beach you win okay that was the top 10 beaches remember this
is a series of videos the best islands the best foods the best temples and the best provinces and
they're all linked below so i hope these videos are useful if you do want to learn more about the
beaches or anywhere else in thailand check out my channel i've got videos on every single province
on every single corner of thailand so it's an encyclopedia of information and you get to watch
