Nai Yang Beach is located on the west coast towards the north of the island and close to the Airport. The beach is wide and very long and part of it is a National Park. There are lots of pine trees along the beach so it is a great place for whom that not enjoy sunbathing. Nai Yang Beach is not a popular destination for tourist, but famous for Thai. It's a good place to swim both for adults and children, It is an ideal for weekend or holiday place for family here, I am sure that every children will like it here as they will see airplane landing to the airport all day. There is no restaurant, shop or any beach activity available at the National Park side of Nai Yang, only local food shop to serve Thai people during day time there.
There is an entrance fee to get in to Nai Yang beach (at the National Park side) for both of Thai and tourist.
Travel to Nai Yang Nai Yang Beach is adjacent to the airport. Or be called up in the same time. And stay away from Phuket town, about 30 kilometers along the main road. Going there is just simply by own drive or get a taxi, Taxi would costs the same price as airport transfer rates.
Where to stay in Nai Yang Like some where that not popular for tourist, not many varieties of accommodation to stay in Nai Yang beach, but you still can find some 4 - 5 star for your relax peaceful nights.
Ao Yon is a small bay with 2 separated beaches in the south of Phuket island near Cape Panwa, which is about 10 kilometers away from the town. Ao Yon is next to Khao Khad and if you are going their through Khao Khad you will find a great view of Ao Chalong on the way, The scenery is beautiful because it is a road to a secluded beach. When you reach Ao Yon you will see only a small beach and if it is low tide then you will be able to walk along to a long beach, very nice there you should not miss!
Ao Yon is another peaceful beach in Phuket where you will see rarely foreigners, only Thai local people there in the evening for relaxing. The beach is not popular for swimming but I think it's good place for children to swim. I also like to take my girl to swim there during weekend.
Where to stay in Ao Yon
There are also many choices of hotel to stay near Ao Yon whether in Khao Khad area or Cape Panwa. But most of the hotels in both areas will be listed under "Cape Panwa"
