Richard Doring's information:

Nang Thong Beach (Khao Lak)

Rocky outcrops divide the 2.5 km long, fine sandy beach here at Nang Thong, some of them reaching picturesquely up to 50 meters out into the sea. During high season it is also suitable for swimming at low tide. Rock pools with all manner of interesting things to find, including sharp edged sea shells, are left behind as the tide retreats. The Bang Niang river ends this beach segment to the north. At low tide, the river is barely recognizable as an obstacle, however, at high tide caution must be taken if wanting to cross as the depth increases to around shoulder height! If it must be crossed, there is usually a local ferryman to be found who will assist for a 10 Baht fee!

There are many new shops and several shopping arcades to be found along the H4 which is between 300-600 mts from the beach and runs parallel to it. A wide range of goods and services can be found here, including restaurants, diving shops, tailors, tour and travel agencies, minimarkets, taxi services, souvenir stores, money change etc. This area is also known locally as 'Central Khao Lak.' About 30 sparsely scattered farmhouses of the original village of Bang La On are now almost lost from view with all of the new development.

The many attractive bungalows in the Nang Thong beach area have been visited regularly since the mid 1980's, mainly by German individual travellers. Around 1997 the first high quality resorts started to appear and this opened up the market to the package holiday companies. Many new comfortable bungalows and 2 storied apartment buildings have now been built.
During the monsoon season from May to October, big waves roll on to this beach area, restricting the swimming activities but apart from the odd rain shower, a good time can still be had by all.
