Bang Thao Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
bay in Phuket province, Thailand
About Bang Thao
Bang Thao is a large open bay with the second of Phuket's longest beaches: its length is 7 km (Mai Khaois the list leader with 11 km). It was once used for tin mining, but has since been developed into a luxury resort. Most of it is occupied by the Laguna Complex, a massive five-hotel development with golf course. There are, however, accommodations available outside Laguna at the bay's south end. Dry season swimming is excellent, and at the bay's north end is a smaller bay, almost completely enclosed, at the mouth of which is some fine coral. Plenty of places to eat, tour companies, and other tourist facilities are available either at Laguna or in the nearby town of Cheong Thale.
