Beautiful, white sand. 7km long beach. Beach not so wide, but enough sapce to launch and land. Launch north by the reef, just watch out for the planes coming into land. Not sure if it is legal to kite to close to the airport, if in doubt try further south.

This wonderful beach has the greatest concentration of venues, and most of the nightlife at the central of this area. A good choice of music venues ranging from traditional Thai to jazz, rock to roots-reggae, are serve for someone who are crazy in songs, moreover; many of them keeping open until dawn. There are plenty of bars and restaurants right on the beach, offering a dreamy view of the Gulf in the quieter evening.
