Somtamnication Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Shocked Phuket is not in the list. LOL! Now that these 10 remaining areas are now in the open, the list will shrink down to 5 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorchester Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 My vote for the best,cleanest beach is Pattaya.I just wish it wasn't so crowded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coulson Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 These are very controlled beaches, some military. On Ao Manao you are barely allowed to breathe within a kilometre of the place, absolutely no activities on the beach except swimming at certain times.....and a general curfew in the resort to boot. Is this a precursor to applying the same regulations country wide? There's not much point in having beautiful beaches if they cannot be enjoyed.

Yup Ao Manao is getting much more restricted nowadays (my wife was told to move for sitting under the wrong tree on the beach a few months ago) But on a plus it does have fully dressed lifeguards wearing life jackets , just in case ,sitting under the trees ,and at the far end despite being "beautiful and clean" the same 3 tyres are lying on the beach or just in the water and they have been there about 5 years!.

Xonax Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) No surprise that most of these beaches are located on secluded islands / areas with little or no development at all. Edited December 25, 2017 by Xonax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au Manoa has plenty of activities on and off the beach. Security is tight what do you expect on a military base? You obviously picked a bad day.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I get the feeling from reading the article, that the rankings and assessments are based on a lot of things beyond just water quality. The fact that you keep seeing military controlled areas on the list kind of suggests that. The military may be great at policing the beach itself, but I seriously doubt they have any control over water quality out in the ocean areas along those beaches.

Which do you go usually? usually paknam because that's where i live and the house is about 500 yards away from the beach there 555 so I'm there everyday, Hat sairee is pretty pants mate. I'll let you explore to find the best ones ; ) but yeah for evening food and relax with a bit of raggae then cabana is alright. never noticed the sandflies mate i have to say. do a decent pizza though ; ) Edited December 25, 2017 by Happy enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security is tight what do you expect on a military base? You obviously picked a bad day. I live there and can concur that here are plenty of activities available. Having something to eat and a cold beer is pretty normal. I only have to sign in/out with my passport on Thai holidays when there are lots of visitors. Any other day i just get a small nod at the gate and can continue driving. For a military base i would say that is a very low security level. The beach is clean and the water is clean probably because there is only one hotel and they do not dump their waste water in the sea. Beach is also kept clean every day, enough young 'soldiers' to do the work. I have seen bananaboats, jetskis once in a while and even some windsurfing. Kite surfing is available at Prachuap Bay just next to the bridge that is close to the mountain with the temple. That beach is also clean but does have a river mound which probably carries some pollution. I don't have a business there so i have no financial interest. After been searching all along the Thai coast from Trang to NakonSiThamarat i thought this was one of the nicer beaches and close to a city. It is popular during the weekends with Thai people, not so much with foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live there( well in wahkor) too and have for 8 years , Ao Manao beach is ok, but certainly not pristine or blue flag in fact disgusting after weekend thai crowd has left. New kommandant is less friendly than old it seems and is no showing it! Banana boats in ao manao and some speedboats but kitesurfing is in phracuap bay where they dump the town shit Beach near me in wakor is deserted but not particularly safe for swimming i am told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
