My first week in Thailand was mostly beaches. This page will feature some of the few pictures I took from Krabi and Phuket. My best beach photos are from Ko Phi Phi, located on its own page. (Ko means "island" in Thai. I also have a separate page for Ko Samui.
Here is a picture from off the coast of Krabi, Thailand. There are massive limestone cliffs rising up from the water.
When I visited Phuket Island, I stayed in Phuket Town, which itself doesn't have beaches. You have to get a 20 minute ride to the west coast to reach them. So I got a local bus to Penang Beach, the largest, on the west coast. This turned out to be the largest beach I had ever seen. It must have been over 2 miles long and had thousands of tourists.
