Bang Tao Beach is one of the longest beaches in Phuket, halfway between Phuket airport and the main tourist hub of Patong Beach on the island’s west coast.
BangTao is also part of the island’s newest exciting buzzy areas, Cherngtalay. With such a beautiful stretch of sand, it’s no surprise why Bangtao has become the home of some of the largest and most luxurious resorts on the island. Bangtao is also the home to a local fishing community which offers a nice alternative option of local restaurants & cafes compared to some of the up market options. On the beach you will also find dozens of local restaurants and beach clubs right on the beach while you eat or drink with your feet in the sand.
Bangtao was one of the tin mines that made the fortune of Phuket long ago. They abandoned it later, and the land was considered worthless. Laguna Phuket managed to transform it into a very profitable award-winning Eco-project and is now home to many Expats.
Bangtao beach is an ideal area for any traveler whether traveling alone or in a group. There are many family-friendly hotels with a plethora of activity options close by such as surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, Blue Tree water park, and Elephant sanctuary. And what seems to be an endless choice of world-class restaurants & cuisines to try, nightlife and shopping, the Bangtao area won’t disappoint.
