Nai Thon Beach (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Nai Thon Beach?
What makes it 65% Baby-Friendly: Soft sand, morning tree shade, and nearby toilets help with a stroller outing, but no nursing room, no changing table, and afternoon heat make visits shorter and gear heavy.
Positives:
- Quiet atmosphere: Few other visitors give space for baby’s naps and play without noise.
- Supportive public facilities: Free showers, restrooms, and lifeguards enhance safety and convenience.
Challenges:
- No dedicated baby rooms: Public restrooms lack changing tables or private nursing suites.
- Limited shade vendors: Umbrella rentals appear only in peak season; bring your own pop-up tent.

Reviews of Nai Thon Beach
Masna Rai
Nice beach, a lot of restaurants around with wide selection of food and drinks. A lot of stalls also sell bikini, hats, and other items you might need on the beach. Pharmacy also at a walkable distance. Trees offer shade which is a plus point , especially when you are with kids. There is also an open shower available that lets you wash off all the sands before heading home. The tides are not that...

Armin Kalidado
Beautiful sandy beach with not too many people. Located 15 minutes drive away from Phuket airport but still a quiet place (no noisy airplanes). There are a lot of trees where you can lie in the shade. On the street you can find a lot of small shops selling fruit shakes, coconuts, ice cream and some snacks. Best place to stay if you're waiting for your flight back home or just arrived.
