nai yang beach
This was my introduction to Thailand.
I felt my nerves calm, the stress of travel fade away, and a different type of life come through.
The beach was empty and I found myself laying in the sun for hours. Only taking a few breaks to cool down in the calm clear water. The locals were kind and helpful, making light conversations and recommending different markets. Restaurants and shops looked ready to go, just waiting for the rainy season to finally end and the start of the bustling tourist season.
I only spent 3 nights here and I can’t wait to come back to this quiet beach town, away from the chaotic tourist destinations further south. If you find yourself flying in or out of Phuket, I highly recommend you make a stop to this little gem of a town.
