Ao Bang Son

Ao Bang Son is a serene beach located in Thailand. It is characterized by its long, white sandy stretch and is known for offering great sunset views. The beach is a peaceful haven, devoid of the usual beach amenities such as chairs and jet skis. It is a rare find, often quiet and less crowded, making it an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility. The beach is situated in a local living area, which adds to its unique charm. It is common to see villagers engaging in their daily activities such as fishing, burning coconuts outdoors, and camping. The area is also home to a number of friendly stray dogs. However, the beach lacks facilities for tourists, including restaurants, shops, toilets, and showers. Additionally, the water at Ao Bang Son is often unclear due to the Bang Son river flowing into the bay. For those seeking cleaner waters for swimming, Thung Sang Beach, located 20km north of Ao Bang Son Beach on the 4004 'Scenic Route', is a recommended alternative. Access to Ao Bang Son is via a short public road that leads to a dead end. Despite its lack of amenities and facilities, the beach offers a unique experience for those willing to explore and immerse themselves in the local way of life.
