Reviews of Koh Naka Yai
Jethro Tan
The beach had really nice and soft sand, just as you enter the water to look underwater you don’t see any fishes. (Was a huge disappointment)
Harsh Saudagar
Parasailing here is amazing ! They take you solo on a boat. 1000 Bhat after negotiation for parasailing. The crew takes amazing video and photos of you when you parasail. The washrooms aren't the best.

Not as touristic as other beaches and we loved it. Good place to relax and chill with less disturbance. We came here as the last stop of our phang nga bay tour and loved it for its calmness.

If you can visit then you should do so. Hire a longtail boat and bring enough food and dtinks and feel like you are the only one on earth. The vieuws, clear water and soft sand are great to experiance. Have fun but please dont litter.

Another beautiful tropical island of Tayland with an amazing exotic sandy beach. There sunbeds to the beach as well as a bar with great cocktails. The waters are clear and crystal, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Boat tours can be arranged from the nearby areas.
