No problem in a 4x4, go to the end of the road not the first turnoff a interesting drive

Hi

Yes its a nice beach, but getting there is something else.... even with a 4 x 4 .... i went with my Scooter, and parked it at the top, and it took me about 30 mins to walk down a rickety road, but once there very quiet and private, and the guy who is there a kind of ''Thai version of ''Bob Marley'', is very nice ahd helpful..

but definetly worth a trek..

where is it ??

On the coast road between Rawai/nai harn and Kata, about half way, turnoff near the top of a hill

If it's muddy it will be impassible in any type of vehicle. Very steep in parts. The beach is like a tiny Nai Harn. Nobody collecting money when I went.

Bone dry, a few ruts, some steep sections and tight bends past the first turnoff RHS from the main track

OK in LWB 4x4, short wheel base should be easy but interesting drive

There is no one down there collecting money anymore - they guy who used to run it, Pele, now has a small reggae bar in between Friendship Beach and Serenity Terraces. I was down there 2 weeks ago - someone has been flattening the road, but still left my scooter at the top and walked down.

If you are talking about the first road into the beach we were there about a week ago

Sign says 250 baht and Thai lady at counter, we just turned around and left

If you carry on past that road there its a interesting drive, we got to about a 100 metres from the end before we found a area to turn

Interesting. There was no one down there the day I went - I'll have another look when I can.

I get the scooter right down there, not for the faint of heart though!

No, the entrance to Nui beach is close to Kata Viewpoint, Yanui beach is close to Laem Promthep and Nai Harn Beach.

whats the latest on the beach, as i went today , and there was a ''NO ENTRY'' sign at the 'ENTRANCE''..

after reading about the Guy who was there the last time, waving a Gun, i did not want to tempt to go in.. just incase..

[stevehaigh]

i didn't know there was such a thing as a private beach. i thought they were all 'owned' by the king

[steelepulse]

Supposedly the clowns that were charging owned the land that needed to be crossed to get to the beach. Subsequently it has been found that their land title was for a different piece of land and these fraudsters and thugs were operating illegally. Haven't heard a peep since this went down a few months ago about their status and the beach status.
