Well a nice beach is great but i need more then that to spend my holiday there.

- nice restaurants with good food

- good transport and the ability to communicate in english.

- no sandfly's or box jellyfish or crocodiles and so on.

- deep water to swim, shallow water to play

-no seaweed

- beachbeds availlable when i want them

- no jetski's or drunk russians

- not too expensive

- reliable police

Well, it appears that headline is a flat out lie. (Not surprised)

Here are the Top 25 in the world from TripAdviser with Thailand nowhere in sight.

Thailand is number 18 on your own link. So as usual, you're wrong again.

I liked Nai Harn very much, don't think that Kata is that bad either (for one of the more "popular" ones...)...but not one beach in Khao Lak mentioned? Seems someone on Phuket is still pi....d that they made it back after the Tsunami and are still keep taking away from Phukets fading glory....
