Nai Thon and Nai Yang

Nai Thon (หาดในทอน Hat Nai Thon) and Nai Yang (หาดในยาง Hat Nai Yang) are two adjacent quiet beaches in northern Phuket. There are a few hotels and restaurants in both towns. The atmosphere is generally laid back and quiet. Nice hotel projects are in the process of being built so it will change here too.

Nai Thon Beach Halal Explorer

Nai Thon is at the foot of high hills and has a fine strip of sand. This quiet bay is suitable for swimming.

Nai Yang is basically a narrow road running towards the beach and a strip of two storey hotels and restaurants along the sea front. Mostly and the town caters towards families and older people wanting a break. In this respect, it offers a subdued and relaxed atmosphere and is almost void of the sleaze that is common to many (Thai) beach resorts. With its golden sandy beach, forests, small lagoon and island and the town is the quintcrucial coastal resort.

Sirinat National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติสิรินาถ) covers an area of 90 square kilometers, stretching all the way to the island's northern tip. The park headquarters are on Nai Yang, which is blessed with shady pine trees providing excellent opportunity for swimming and relaxation. Off-shore is a large coral reef which serves as habitat for several species of sea life, particularly sea turtles.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Nai Thon Beach

Basically this is a chill on the beach sort of place! It seems that the most popular thing to do is to have a private massage.

You can kite surf in summer season. Don't expect strong winds, so take your biggest kites. There are waves on one side of the lagoon and flat water with reef break on the other. Kite schools KBA and Kitezone will help you with lessons and gear.

You can go snorkelling off the beach in Nai Yang from the life guard post in the park. (You don't pay park entrance fee when you walk in from the beach.) There's some fish/animal life and the corals are starting to grow/recover from the 2004 tsunami.

Halal Restaurants in Nai Thon Beach

Small informal restaurants are situated literally on the sand for the length of Nai Thon and Nai Yang Beach, and offer a relaxing meal at minimal cost. Food is either cooked in tents on the beach or in houses across the road. Tables and chairs are set up on the sand, and range from plastic outdoor settings to solid wooden settings with tablecloth. However, appearances can be deceiving, as the tackier looking restaurants often dish up better meals.

Mains start at around 70 Baht, offering excellent value for money, but service can sometimes be slow, and orders confused if made in English. The key is to sit back, smile and soak up the serenity; beach-front dining on pocket change doesn't get much better than this.
