BEACH
The beach at Bang Saithong south of Bang Saphan has amazingly bizarre, red-colored sand and is surrounded by palm trees. It is a small bay with only 2 stays the Ban Saithong Beach Resort and the Saai Resort. During high tide the beach is gone, but in that case it is also possible to relax at the grass court or by the swimming pool.
Pay attention to the swimming conditions! At low tide, the shore is a bit rocky for swimming, but you find some spots to go into the water. Be sure to bring your water shoes.
WHERE TO STAY
The Ban Saithong Beach Resort is a bit run down but offers rooms for a reasonable price. All of the rooms have good beach views. It is a bizarre place to stay but if you like lonely places, a good swimming pool and the color red, we definitely recommend to spend some nights here. Directly next door is the brand new Saai Resort, a great upper range villa. You can book the entire villa with your family but it also is possible to book just a room.
The stays have their own restaurant, and other places to eat are a few kilometers away. Four kilometers to the south is a nice bay with budget-friendly stays and a few eateries. The beach did not make it to our database, but is worth a visit.
