Bang Tao Beach

The 8-km stretch along Bang Tao Beach in Phuket , Thailand is dotted with luxurious resorts and villas. The beach is located just a few minutes away from the town of Cherng Talay , where many villagers still earn their living by fishing, farming and rubber tapping as their ancestors did. It is only the northern tip of Bang Tao Beach where visitors might have the beach to themselves.

Indulge in a variety of activities while on a trip to Bang Tao Beach , including a ropes course and rock climbing, windsurfing, elephant riding and kid's sports. Visit the exotic Laguna Beach , or play golf at the Laguna Phuket course, practice your swing on the driving range nearby or enjoy a horse ride along the beach. Later experience a massage and spa treatment at the world famous Banyan Tree spa or at other retreats nearby.

At Laguna's Canal Village and in the rows of shops just outside the Laguna entrance you will find some of the island's finest antiques and other treasures. Experience the feel of a typical Thai bazaar at the open-air village markets.

Though there are many fine dining options within Laguna's resorts, several bars and restaurants have also come up recently. As for accommodation, you can enjoy a comfortable stay at Laguna's Sheraton Grande, Dusit Laguna, Allamanda, or at Banyan Tree Phuket Resorts.
