Nai Thon and Nai Yang
Asia : Southeast Asia : Thailand : Southern Thailand : Phuket : Nai Thon and Nai Yang
Nai Thon (หาดในทอน Hat Nai Thon) and Nai Yang (หาดในยาง Hat Nai Yang) are two adjacent quiet beaches in northern Phuket.
There are a few hotels, guesthouses and restaurants in Nai Thon. The
atmosphere is generally laid back and quiet. New hotel projects are in
the process of buing built so it will change here too.
[edit] Get in
Nai Thon nestled at the foot of high hills has a fine strip of sand. This quiet bay is suitable for swimming.Sirinat National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติสิรินาถ) covers an area of 90 square kilometres, stretching all the way to the island’s northern tip. The park headquarters are located on Nai Yang, which is blessed with shady pine trees providing excellent opportunity for swimming and relaxation. Off-shore is a large coral reef which serves as habitat for several species of sea life, particularly the sea turtles.
[edit] Get around
Walk! Bikes available for rent for 200 THB per day. Motorbikes are 300B in the high season. Short taxi rides (to your accommodation on the main road for example) are 150B and up. Negotiate.[edit][add listing] See
Mangrove Forests, situated on the island’s northern tip, cover a large area of 320 acres. A nature trail has been cleared for the convenience of visitors with signs indicating and explaining the various species.[edit][add listing] Do
Basically this is a chill on the beach sort of place! It seems that the most popular thing to do is to have aa massage.You can do kitesurfing in summer season. Don't expect strong winds, so take your biggest kites. There are waves on one side of lagoon and flat water with reef break on other side. Kiteschools KBA and Kitezone will help you with lessons and gear.
You can go snorkling of the beach In Nai Yang from the life guard post in the park. (You don't pay park entrance fee when you walk in from the beach.) There's some fish animal life and the corals are starting to grow/recover from the 2004 Tsunami.

[edit][add listing] Eat
Small informal restaurants are situated literally on the sand for the length of Nai Thon Beach, and offer a relaxing meal at minimal cost. Food is either cooked in tents on the beach or in houses across the road. Tables and chairs are set up on the sand, and range from plastic outdoor settings to solid wooden settings with tablecloth. However, appearances can be deceiving, as the tackier looking restaurants often dish up better meals.Mains start at around 70 Baht, offering excellent value for money, but service can sometimes be slow, and orders confused if made in English. The key is to sit back, smile and soak up the serenity; beach-front dining on pocket change doesn't get much better than this.
- Green Home Made Pizza. Reasonably good pizza at reasonable prices (200 baht approx) and a great view of the sunset. edit

- Sunset beach bar. This is a great place to chill with a beer and watch the sunset reclining on "tea beds"in the beach edit
