Koh Phayam
Edit SpotAbout
I would not make this a destination, but if you were traveling through southern Thailand, Koh Phayam is a great place to relax, ride some waves and enjoy the beach. Sept/Oct and late April/May are best.
Atmosphere:
Very relaxed beach lifestyle with plenty of restaurants and places to stay on the beach. there are two ferries daily from Ranong town to Koh Phayam.
Additional Info:
The center of the beach has the best break. It is easy to find, friendly and there might be as many as five surfers.
