Introducing Ao Bang Thao

Home to some of the islands mega-resorts (serious pampering at serious prices), Ao Bang Thao laps against a lovely 8km-long crescent of white-sand beach on Phuket’s western coast. A steady breeze makes the bay ideal for windsurfing; since 1992 the annual Siam World Cup windsurfing championships have been held here in January. A system of lagoons inland from the beach has been incorporated into Laguna Phuket, a complex of five upmarket resorts dominating the central portion of the beach. Even if you can’t afford to stay, the beach makes a nice day trip.
