BEACH
Thap Sakae is nice wide beach and is 3 kilometers long, making it perfect for travelers who are looking for a quieter and less commercialized beach experience. If you value serenity, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life, this pristine beach is definitely worth a visit.
The beach is great for swimming, although there are often waves, making it not always suitable for small children. It offers a peaceful and authentic Thai beach experience away from the crowds of more touristy destinations. We are usually the only Western tourists when we visit this beach.
WHERE TO STAY
We have found about 10 accommodations in the budget, mid-range and more upper range category. If you like more comfort, we recommend going to Tungtong Beach Villas or The Bloc @ Sea. An alternative budget option is Arun Resort, which offers simple bungalows for a good price, however, it doesn’t have a restaurant, so you have to walk about 10 minutes to find a place to eat. Another budget alternative is Lazy Beach Camping.
Heading south on the more social part of the beach you will find 2 nice mid-range stays next to each other, both are good overnight accommodations. Malai Asia has elegant concrete bungalows gathered in a pleasant garden, while The Beach Resort, has decent concrete bungalows right on the beach.
Most hotels have their own restaurant and in addition you can go dining at a few restaurants near the beach.
