10 Best Beaches in Thailand

Thailand is famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and stunning, clear blue seas. With over 2,000 miles of coastline and 8,000 tropical islands, Thailand offers visitors a wide variety of beaches to choose from, including quiet, secluded coves and stretches of sand that are filled with wild partying tourists. An overview of the best beaches in Thailand:
10. Sairee Beach

Although only approximately one-mile long, Sairee Beach is the longest stretch of sand on the stunning island of Ko Tao, also sometimes referred to as Turtle Island. Sairee Beach, which is located on the island’s west side, is popular with snorkelers and scuba divers. Although this is a relatively low-key area, it still boasts a number of nightclubs and bars. You can reach the lovely island of Ko Tao either by air or by ferry service 

Haad Rin

This beach, which is located on the island of Ko Phangan, is world famous for its Full Moon Party. While not for everybody, the Full Moon Party attracts thousands of young travelers from around the world. During this popular event, the beach is lined with huge sound systems and crowded with partyers. Although the Full Moon Party is the area’s most popular event, parties are held practically every night on the beaches and streets of Haad Rin. Not surprisingly, Haad Rin has become a very popular stop for backpackers. In addition, because Haad Rin is located on a narrow peninsula, travelers can enjoy viewing both sunsets and sunrises over the sea at this destination.
8. Lamai Beach
Travelers looking for a laid-back resort area will enjoy Lamai Beach, which is located in Samui, the second biggest island in Thailand after Phuket. Lamai Beach is a smaller, quieter resort area than its neighbor Chaweng, and it also tends to be less crowded. Lamai Beach boasts a long stretch of white sand that is perfect for relaxing. Visitors to this resort area will find plenty of bars, restaurants and activities to keep them both busy and well-fueled.
7. Hua Hin Beach 
Hua Hin
Originally, built in the 1920s as a royal getaway for King Rama VII, the Hua Hin Beach area has been a long-time favorite vacation destination for Thais. Today, this 8 km (5 mile) long beach is also popular with tourists. Hua Hin is the site of the Klai Kangwon Palace, which is still used by Thai royalty today. Not surprisingly, Hua Hin is also a popular vacation destination for rich and famous Thai families. In addition, the Hua Hin beach area, which is located in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, is a golfer’s delight. Currently, it is home to the highest concentration of golf courses in all of Thailand.
6. Ko Nang Yuan

Tiny Ko Nang Yuan is a popular day trip from Ko Tao, so its beautiful beaches can be crowded at times. But it’s a pretty island and its clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. To visit this island, travelers who are not staying on Ko Nang Yuan must pay a 100 baht fee. The island does have one dive resort for travelers who prefer to stay on this small island.
5. Patong Beach

Travelers who want to do more than worship the sun should head over to colorful and crowded Patong, the unofficial party capital of Phuket. This vibrant area is filled with nightclubs, restaurants, bars and tourist shops. On Patong’s 3.5 km (2.2 mile) long beach, travelers will find many vendors hawking parasailing adventures, jet ski rentals and local wares. This is one of the most popular beaches in Thailand, especially with those who enjoy partying and having a good time.
4. Hat Pramong (Where to Stay)
Sunset Beach, which is located on a small bay on Ko Lipe, also goes by the name Hat Pramong. As it name implies, this beach faces west and offers stunning sunsets. This is a peaceful, beautiful area that will give travelers a glimpse of the way Thailand once was. For now, Sunset Beach is not yet home to large resorts. Instead, travelers can enjoy the simple life in comfortable bungalows and huts.
3. White Sand Beach

This pretty beach located on Ko Chang, is a great family destination that boasts a long stretch of sugary sand. While White Sand Beach is the most popular and developed area on Ko Chang, it is still much quieter than, say, the bustling resort areas of Phuket. Accommodations in White Sand Beach range from four-star resorts to quaint bungalows, and this area boasts many restaurants and bars. Ko Chang is located in southeast Thailand near Cambodia.
2. Maya Bay

This gorgeous site on Ko Phi Phi Leh is now famous for being the location of Leonardo DiCaprio’s film “The Beach.” Today, tourists from all over the world come to this sheltered bay, which is framed on three sides by tall cliffs, to see and enjoy this beautiful location for themselves. Ko Phi Phi is also well-known for its excellent diving and snorkeling. Because Phi Phi Leh is a national park, travelers must pay a 200 baht fee to enter. However, tourists who enter with a group will typically pay this fee as part of their tour price. Accommodation can be found on the larger Ko Phi Phi Don, which is just as stunning.
1. Phra Nang Beach 
#1 of Best Beaches In Thailandflickr/plusgood
Phra Nang Beach is located at the southern tip of Railay, a peninsula on the Andaman Coast. Framed by stunning limestone cliffs and blessed with clear, emerald waters and beautiful white sands, it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand. It is also popular with climbers who enjoy scaling Railay’s massive limestone rocks. Travelers interested in learning how to scale these rocks will find a number of instructors in the area willing to literally show them the ropes. Phra Nang, which can be reached by long-tail boat from Ao Nang, is quite popular and so can be crowded at times

The biggest deal in health care industry

What the CVS-Aetna deal means for the future of health care When drug company chief executive Heather Bresch was hauled in front of Congress last year to defend the high price of lifesaving EpiPens, she drew skeptical lawmakers' attention to a large poster board that blamed the skyrocketing price tag on a coterie of drug supply chain middlemen. Of EpiPen's $608 list price, her company, Mylan, received only $274, Bresch said. "What the patient is paying is not . . . coming back to Mylan," Bresch said. "And when we were speaking earlier of the people, the middlemen in the system, that's either the pharmacy benefit managers, retailers, wholesalers, insurers." That supply chain — rarely seen by most consumers — is the center of attention in the corporate world after CVS Health announced a $69 billion deal to buy Aetna, the nation's third-largest insurer. Familiar as a corner drugstore, CVS Health actually makes most of its money from one of t

H-1B extension is now more difficult trump tightened walls again

Trump admin makes it more difficult for H-1B visa extension USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency. In a new directive, the Trump administration has made it more difficult for the renewal of non-immigrant visas such as H-1B and L1, popular among Indian IT professionals, saying that the burden of proof lies on the applicant even when an extension is sought.  Rescinding its more than 13-year-old policy, the  US Citizenship and Immigration Services  (  USCIS ) said that the burden of proof in establishing eligibility is, at all times, on the petitioner.  USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency.  "This memorandum makes it clear that the burden of proof remains on the petitioner, even where an extension of non- immigrant status is sought," USCIS said in its latest memorandum issued on October 23.   Under the previous policy, i
