The location was recommended by a friend, and I went in order to get away from the busy City Life of Chiang Mai.
Some 4-5 hours south of Bangkok, Ban Saphan is tucked away along the seemingly busy coast of Thailand, on the bay side.
If you are looking for long beach walks, without sight of others, then this is your place.

| There are some dead fish along the way, but the beach is clean, long, the sand is white, and the water is warm. Maybe too warm, if you like it refreshing. I like my ocean water bath tub warm, and that is just how it is at Ban Saphan. |

There are some small islands very close by, and it is worth going to see them.
Bring your food, ice box and sunscreen.
These locations are next to deserted, and rooms are going for about $10 per night.
The islands, the shoals, the perfect water, and the coral, make it an especially good place to swim, sunbathe, and stroll along the quiet beaches.
