Nai Thon is a sleepy village with a few resorts an ideal spot to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet swim. It is one of the last remaining undeveloped spots on the island. Just a lovely beach, shady trees, a few sea food restaurants and a few small hotels and guest houses. Although it is close to the airport, it remains isolated, peaceful, scenic and totally relaxing. Phuket as it was 20 years ago.

Nai Thon Beach provides a private world for those day-trippers. Both ends of the beach are protected by granite outcrops, which shield the bay and provide homes for diverse marine flora and fauna. While the beach is always crowded with tourists, one can escape into the other isolated realm on Hin Kruai Bay by walking south a few hundred meters. Even with the arrival of the new Naithonburi Beach Resort, the beach is never crowded with lots of space between the one row of sunbeds lining the beach.

The quality of water is excellent at Nai Thon beach. Once you get there, there's not much to do except soak up the sun and cool off in the sea. Visitors ahould be careful during the monsoon season (May-October) as the undertow can get very strong.

A few cosy restaurants, dive centres and shops line the single road along the beach. Those planning to stay in Nai Thon can find some guesthouses, bungalows and hotels along the beach road or on the main road a few kilometres inland.
