Bang Thao beach, 8-kilometer beach in Phuket, Thailand

The beach extends along the western coast of Phuket with white sand and palm trees creating natural shade for beachgoers.

Initially a tin mining area until the 1970s, Bang Thao Beach underwent transformation when Singaporean developers converted mining sites into leisure facilities.

The local community maintains traditional seafood markets and small Buddhist temples, reflecting the area's connection to Thai maritime heritage.

The northern section provides a calm environment for families, while the southern part contains beach clubs, restaurants, and water sport facilities.

The beach hosts the annual Phuket International Boat Show, drawing maritime enthusiasts to display vessels in its curved bay.
