Secret Cove Vibes at Pai Plong Beach

#summervacay If you’re in Ao Nang and craving a chill, kinda-secret beach that feels like a hidden movie scene, Pai Plong Beach is the spot. Tucked between limestone cliffs and only accessible by a short monkey trail hike (yes, actual monkeys might photobomb your walk), this beach is the definition of peaceful paradise. The water’s that dreamy emerald green, super calm, and perfect for lazy floating or pretending you're in a tropical shampoo commercial. Not too crowded either, feels like a private escape but without needing a yacht. The soft sand is perfect for flopping down with a book or just zoning out to the sound of gentle waves. There’s a resort there, so you can grab a cold drink or lunch, but day visitors are totally welcome. Bonus: the sunsets here? Absolute fire. Honestly, Pai Plong hits different. A little adventure, a lot of beauty, and max chill. Don’t skip it if you’re in Krabi!

Pai Plong Beach: A Secluded Paradise in Krabi

Pai Plong Beach

#beaches The beach of the Centara Beach Krabi hotel in Thailand, I call the best in Ao Nang, as you just have to look at it, and it becomes clear where in Ao Nang it is best to sunbathe and swim. This beach, whose name in Thai sounds like Pai Plong, is located just a few hundred meters from the noisy party of Ao Nang, but is separated from it by high cliffs that have become the hallmark of Krabi province. The beach of Centara is located in a picturesque bay. There is only one hotel here - Centara Grand Beach Resort, and there are not many people on the beach, despite the fact that access to this beach is open to everyone. During my vacation in Krabi on Ao Nang, I was on this secluded beach of the Centara Grand Beach Resort hotel more than once, because it is good for a beach holiday, unlike Ao Nang beach, where it is too noisy and crowded, and the water and sand are not the best. best quality. But these are not all the reasons why I recommend the beach of the Centara Pai Plong hotel for a visit. Beach hotel Centara Centara Hotel Beach is a beach belonging to the Centara Grand Beach Resort Krabi on the mainland of Krabi Province, located near Ao Nang and is completely free for all tourists who relax in Krabi. You can find it east of Ao Nang Beach and west of Railay. In fact, this beach, hidden in a beautiful bay of the Andaman Sea, is called Pai Plong. But for most tourists, it is known precisely as the beach of the Centara hotel. And all because this is the only hotel on this wonderful beach ... Thus, there are two options for relaxing on the beach of Tsentara (Pai Plong): Stay in the best hotel in Krabi - Centara Grand Beach Resort → Come on foot or sail to the beach on your own, signing up in the guard's log about your arrival and departure. Nothing complicated. Description of Tsentara beach in Krabi Centara Beach is not very large, its width at high tide is only about 10 meters, and its length is just over 200 meters. Its main advantages are an amazing panoramic view from the beach to the sea, as well as very clean sand, quite large, but pleasant to the touch. It seemed to me that due to the surroundings on all sides of sheer limestone cliffs, Pai Plong Beach itself is very cozy and calm. A small pier for mooring boats is located in the eastern part of the beach and does not prevent tourists from enjoying a good beach holiday in any weather in Krabi.
