Golden Buddha Beach (Koh Phra Thong)

9° 7.4′ N · 98° 15.0′ E

Part of more than 8 km of deserted, palm-lined Andaman beach on Phra Thong's west coast, where the island's handful of eco-resorts cluster.

Practical

Coordinate is the OSM-mapped Golden Buddha Beach. No anchorage is documented in the pilot for this open west coast: it is an exposed surf beach, so visit by land from the Ban Pak Chok anchorage or anchor off only in settled NE weather, sounding carefully. Resorts and restaurants nearby (OSM, Wikivoyage) include Golden Buddha Beach Resort (Ban Buri Clubhouse), Mr. Chuoi's Bar & Huts (+66 84 8559886) and The Moken Eco Village.

Best for
