Haad Thong Reng

Haad Thong Reng is a secluded beach known for its unique natural characteristics. The beach is surrounded by palm trees laden with coconuts, and it is not uncommon to encounter horses in the area, adding to its distinct charm. The beach is characterized by its smooth sand and medium-depth water, with minimal small rocks. The beach is located a short 5-minute walk from another beach, making it relatively accessible for those who know the way. However, reaching Haad Thong Reng can be a bit challenging for first-time visitors. The route involves crossing a wooden bridge and passing through an abandoned resort. Visitors must navigate a pathway that leads through two old villas, and then under a broken fence to reach the beach. Despite its somewhat hidden location, Haad Thong Reng is visited by both locals and foreigners. The beach is technically private property, but it is frequented by visitors looking for a quiet, peaceful spot to swim and sunbathe. The beach's secluded nature also makes it a popular spot for nude sunbathing. While the beach is generally not crowded, it is not devoid of human activity. Abandoned buildings are scattered around the area, and it's not uncommon to find a couple meditating or a solitary house behind the beach. However, the beach's tranquility is occasionally marred by trash washed up on the shore.
