About Bang Tao Beach in Phuket

Bangtao Beach is one of the longest beaches in Phuket but it is also very quiet. Most of the beachgoers are hotel guests, but those who aren’t guests are still welcome to use the beach. It’s so laid-back and tranquil that you may find yourself alone on the beach from time to time. Bangtao Beach is the ideal place to lay back, read, and soak up the sun.

Restaurants at Bangtao Beach
