The route from the main road to the beach

Do not swim while red flags are flying. Read the marine forecast before leaving and follow local swimming instructions after arrival. Waves and weather may delay or cancel boat trips, so ask about bad-weather conditions when booking.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Bang Niang Beach?
It is beside Ban Bang Niang in Khuk Khak, Phangnga, in the Khao Lak travel area. Turn from Phet Kasem Road towards the sea. It is separate from Phuket, so search for Bang Niang Beach with your hotel name.
Can I reach the beach through a beachfront resort?
Each resort has its own access conditions. If staying there, ask staff for the route. Visitors from elsewhere need to use an available shore access route; a particular resort is not the beach’s only entrance.
Can I enter the water when there is a red flag?
No. A red flag means swimming is prohibited. Even if the sea looks calm, stay out of the water and spend your time on the shore.
