Khao Takiab beach

14 Best Beaches in Thailand

"This laid-back coastal escape lies less than three hours from the capital. A go-to for Bangkok locals looking to escape the smog and traffic of the city, Hua Hin is home to wellness retreats and beach resorts. One of the most beautiful places for a dip is Khao Takiab Beach. Next to a fishing harbor, you can spend the day on a beach bed and then grab fresh seafood as the sun dips below the horizon." - Katie Lockhart Katie Lockhart Katie is a freelance travel and food journalist specializing in luxury brands and hotels.
