Naiyang Beach

Nai Yang beach is a short drive from the airport, so sights of airplanes swooping down on the island are a common sight. Parts of the beach lie inside a national park with reefs at the north end of the beach. There are tons of trees around the beach, with swings laid out between them. Although a picnic area for locals, it doesn’t attract a crowd, making it ideal to avoid tourists How to get there: The beach is almost an hour’s drive to Patong. If you are staying close to the airport, it’s just a 10 minute drive away.
