Nai Yang Beach is a beautiful, unspoilt beach just south of the Airport in the north of Phuket. There is only one small hotel, a few shops, and with many fantastic local seafood restaurants, opportunities for long-tailed boat trips, snorkelling, diving, fishing etc., plus Thai massage on the beach (recommended).

 

The best way to get there is by group Tuk-Tuk (round trip is good) ~800 - 1000 Baht per group

 

In addition to Thai food, there are European dishes readily available and very close by, also on the beach, Halal food as well.
