Laem Had Beach

Laem Had Beach is a long sandbar located on the northeastern tip of Ko Yao Yai in southern Thailand. Known for its pale sand and shallow turquoise water, the beach stretches out into Phang Nga Bay and offers open views toward distant limestone islands. At low tide, the exposed sand creates clean lines and strong leading compositions, while scattered palm trees add a simple tropical foreground. The setting is calm and less developed than many mainland beaches, making it ideal for sunrise photography and wide landscape shots. The beach is reached by road from the main villages on Ko Yao Yai, with parking available nearby. (Ko Yao Yai, Phang Nga Province, Thailand)
