Ko Kradan in south Thailand named Best Beach in the World
By Pattaya Mail
April 9, 2023
Ko Kradan, an island in the Andaman Sea of Thailand’s southern province of Trang, has been named the best beach in the world for 2023 by the United Kingdom’s World Beach Guide website.
The announcement was made by Government Spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri.
The World Beach Guide website also listed four other Thai beaches in the top 100 for 2023: Railay in Krabi province (9th), Freedom Beach in Phuket (18th), Laem Beach on Yao Yai Island in Phang-nga province (21st), and Tanot Bay Beach on Ko Tao of Surat Thani (44th).
Anucha expressed gratitude towards the private and government sectors involved in the tourism industry, as well as the Thai people in general, for their efforts in preserving the environment of these natural resources.
Ko Kradan, which is part of the Hat Chao Mai National Park, is known for its stunning stretches of powdery white sand beaches. Despite being only a few kilometers from the mainland, it remains largely unspoiled and is considered the most beautiful among the islands and islets off Trang. The island’s main beach, Paradise Beach, is particularly popular among tourists.

Re: Best beach in the world
Difficult choice.
The best beach in the world, possibly with not much else to do ?
OR
Dong Tan beach, with plenty of other nearby activities.
I would include a picture showing the Dong Tan beach sign, as it looks after 5 years. However imgbox inverts the photo. If I try to fix that by inverting the photo before uploading, it leaves it inverted.
So here's an older photo. I cannot claim it's like that any more.

Here's a very nice beach shot. And when you're done with the beach, he may be wearing something almost as nice at Divarium.

I must say from this angle, the head look far too big for the body. My first impression was it's a fake.

I agree the photo makes his head look big, but I suspect it's all genuine. That's exactly the type of interesting outfit he would wear.

A further example of what some board members like to see on a beach.
You may need to set the quality to 540p.

Re: Best beach in the world
I'm sure many would, but that's over-the-top even for me. Of course, as I said, we all have our own individual tastes.
