About Rawai & Nai Harn

A southern coastal stretch with fitness camps and a swimming beach, suited to longer stays.

Rawai is a working beach where longtail boats anchor, while neighbouring Nai Harn offers clear water for swimming outside the May to October monsoon. You will need a scooter to navigate the winding roads between the cafes, gyms and seafront. Pick it if you want an established expat community. Skip it if you want to be near the airport.

Getting there: Drive south on Wiset Road to reach the coast.
Watch out for: Rawai beach is a boat mooring area, not for swimming.
