BEACH
Hat Nadan is more than 7 kilometers long, making it a great beach for long walks near Khanom. Although there are quite a few visitors, the beach rarely feels crowded because it is so long. Palm trees line much of the beach and give it a wonderfully tropical atmosphere. The southern part has the most palm trees and is therefore our favorite.
Even at high tide, Hat Nadan remains nice and wide, so there is always plenty of space to choose your own spot and lay down your beach towel. The sea is generally good for swimming, although there are often waves. This also means that snorkeling directly from the beach is usually not very rewarding.
WHERE TO STAY
There are several nice places to stay along Hat Nadan. We recommend LE PETIT SAINT TROPEZ. For something more upscale, good options are Khanom Beach Resort and Spa and Aava Resort, where you can also join yoga and tai chi classes.
Good mid-range stays include Margarita Beach and Rabiang Sai Resort. For travelers on a smaller budget, there is Bansonmanee Homestay, as well as the authentic wooden beach bungalows at Baan Man Lay.
Just outside Khanom town, around 1 kilometer from the beach, you will find the lovely Hallo Villa. We really enjoyed our stay here. Although it is not directly on the beach, we liked it enough to include it on the TreasureBeaches website.
There are also plenty of places to eat along and around the beach. Make sure to check the booking websites before your trip to compare the different stays and find the one that suits you best.
