At high tide, like in many places in Thailand, the sea becomes very deep at a couple of meters from the shore only. At low tide, the bottom of the sea is flatter.

Beach type & size: Sand - Medium

Infos: Long, sandy beach. Offers a relatively safe launching area.

Identified hazards: Bystanders

Beachgoer: None

The rainy season is characterized by scattered heavy showers now and then everyday, cloudy weather almost full time.
