Phum Riang Beach is a serene and peaceful beach located in Chaiya. Known for its beautiful and tranquil environment, it is a perfect getaway for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The beach is characterized by its muddy sand during low tide, making it an ideal spot for meditation and relaxation. The beach is also a popular spot for local families who often fish for clams in the area.
The beach is relatively quiet with not many shops around, so visitors are advised to bring their own snacks. Despite its beauty, the beach has been facing a persistent problem with garbage disposal, with rubbish being dumped into the sea nearby. This has resulted in pollution, which is a year-round issue. However, this problem seems to be localized to the beaches in Chaiya, as nearby beaches in Khanom, Sichon, and Chumpon, as well as the Ang Thing marine park located 40 km offshore, do not face the same issue.
Visitor reviews highlight the serene and beautiful nature of the beach, with many recommending it as a perfect spot for relaxation and meditation. The friendly locals and the opportunity to engage in activities such as swimming and seashell hunting are also appreciated by visitors. However, concerns are raised about pollution and garbage disposal issues affecting the cleanliness of the beach.
Visitors to Phum Riang Beach often stay in the nearby town of Chaiya, which offers a few accommodation options and easy access to the serene beach. Many also choose to stay in the larger city of Surat Thani, which provides more amenities and is well-connected to other attractions in the region.
