Thai Muang Beach
The almost 15 kilometer long stretch of Thai Muang Beach is one of the hidden treasures along the Andaman Coast of Thailand.
It is a great beach to swim on from late November to mid-April, but be aware of the under currents all year round.
From November to February, female sea turtles come up to lay eggs on the beach - the only location along the Andaman Coast where it is still possible to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. The beach is home to two sea turtles - the Olive Ridley and the Leather back.
The Thai Muang East Asia Turtle Sanctuary is also located on the beach.
