Hat Klong Prao in Phuket





Hat Klong Prao, which means the bay of coconuts, derives its name from a number of coconut trees found along its beach. This beach begins at Chaiyachet Cape, which offers a good viewpoint of the island at sunset. The beach is less crowded than Hat Sai Khao and suitable for swimming and water sports.

Fifteen kilometres from Hat Klong Prao is Hat Kai Bae. It is a popular place among foreign tourists who come here for sunbathing. The beach has a slight slope into the sea that is favourable for swimming. Tourists who want to visit neighbouring islands such as Koh Yuak, Koh Man Nok and Koh Man Nai can hop in a boat from this beach. Hat Kai Bae is more colourful at night with restaurants and pubs vying for customers.
