To have a white tropical beach all to yourself in Thailand these days is still possible if you know where to go. When we arrived at this white sandy beach on a Sunday lunchtime we only found a few Thai families eating seafood in shelters at the top of the beach. As it was too hot for Thais to go swimming in the gorgeously clear waters both the beach and sea were deserted. I am not sure if it is like this all the time but I do know that I was the only foreigner there.
The name of this place is Ban Chuen Beach and it can be found in Khlong Yai district of Trat Province (see map). This stretch of Sukhumwit Road is mainly used by people heading to the Thai-Cambodian border so it is quite possible to have the beach to yourself, particularly if you come during the week. Although you could ask a bus to drop you off on Sukhumwit road, you would then need to hike down to the beach. Which means this beach is only of interest to people who either own or have rented a vehicle of some sort.
At Ban Chuen Beach there are two places where you can stay. Nearest to the beach, and what looks like to be more comfortable, is Banchuen Beach Resort. Prices here start at 1,200 Baht for two people. Contact number is 081-8612944. The second place is further back and looks a bit shabby. This one is called Panan Resort and prices start from 800 Baht. Contact number for this one is 081-7616051. Neither of these place include breakfast in the prices though you can order from their restaurant.
