Tofer Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Best beaches, cleanest sea, pristine coral reefs and most beautiful sea life I ever saw was in the Seychelles when I lived there in 1980. Weather was great, locals promiscuous and creole food not bad. We even had an entourage of naked models on a photo shoot for 'Elle' magazine on Intendence beach one day - that ranks it #1 in my book.

Khun Ed Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 There are amazing beaches round the world and Bournemouth would break into my top 1000 - just if you added food as part of the criteria. They do have steak and kidney pies and pink ice cream. It is hard to name a top 10 as there are so many places and no one has been to them all... Thailand must have one or two candidates for top 20 ie: The bay at koh phi phi and Koh Lipe. There are further afield beaches like Playa Paraguito, Island of Margarita. Mexico, Maldives and some mentioned above that could be candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I guess this survey didn't take weather into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call it more of a broad brown sand bank next to a cauldron of brown ice water. Nine of the top ten are in the Americas, so I suspect most votes came from the US.

madmitch Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The Sunday Times have their best beaches list in the newspaper today. No mention for Phuket or Bournemouth! Two Thai beaches in the list: Ko Poda and Ao Yai, Ko Phayam. You need an account to access the article, I think, but the link's here for those that do. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/travel/the-worlds-best-beaches-our-expert-guide-83lksd86t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I think it all comes down to what the guy who sets up the survey is looking for as best beach. I know beach's in Canada on the west coast that are very good by my standards. Beautiful clean sandy beach's, that have oyster beds at the ends of them where you an pick fresh oyster's,fish from shore get salmon in season or rock fish all year.. Row out set a crab trap and eat fresh crab.But only warm 4 months a year. Also no umbrella's to sit under. But same as Thai beach's need a boat to get to them.

Jiggo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Be interesting to find out if there are any "Blue Flag" beaches in Thailand....would not hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bra Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 OK I am an Australian, and any beach on a top 20 list must have surf!! Manly Beach is included in the Trip Advisor list but I would rate it at about No 60 in Australia - there are much better ones. Two other attributes that a beach should have is real sand and air and water temperature suitable for taking most of your clothes off - Bournemouth???? If fact there are beautiful to look at and good to swim beaches in almost all countries in the world including Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rkidlad Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 Bournemouth is near my hometown and I stayed there for Christmas. We took daily walks along the beach and my missus said how nice and clean it was. I said that’s because locals take great pride in their beach. They don’t bang on about how wonderful their beach is and how much they love ‘England’. They simply say nothing and just take good care of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyDunky58 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 No surprise. The beach at Patong is not very pleasant. Go further north and you'll find much better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
