00:15what's up guys my name is Christian LeBlanc and for about the past two and a
00:18half years I've been traveling all around Southeast Asia I've pretty much
00:22visited every country and of which Thailand has to be in my top three now
00:27there's one thing that keeps me coming back to Thailand and that is the
00:29incredible beaches and today I wanted to put together a video of my top ten
00:34choices of the best beaches in all of Thailand starting with number ten number
00:39ten is a beach that I'm a little embarrassed to admit is in my top ten
00:42but Koh Phi Phi is a truly beautiful island that's just a little bit
00:47overpopulated but if you're looking for an amazing night out this is the place to
00:50go Koh Phi Phi is the party island you can find yourself on this beach seven
00:54nights of the week it is always busy it's not the place to come if you're
00:57looking for a quiet or romantic getaway just a 15 minute boat ride away from
01:02Koh Phi Phi leads me to number nine let's ride Maya Bay Maya Bay is easily the most
01:09beautiful beach in all of Thailand but the reason it's not making the top three is
01:13because it's just simply too busy but if you can get past the crowds or get there
01:18at the right time during the day you will be blown away by the incredible beauty it
01:22was actually made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio's movie the beach or was it
01:27called the island number eight Koh Samet is one of my favorite islands that very
01:31few people know about and it's only about three and a half hours away from
01:33Bangkok using the local buses the great thing about the beaches in Koh Samet is
01:37that you've got that beautiful blue clear water and you've got for the most part a
01:41very relaxing environment where you can enjoy the beach enjoy some great
01:44restaurants and a bit of nightlife it kind of gives you a little bit of
01:48everything and it's close to Bangkok number seven is Koh Naing Yon this is an
01:51island situated right off the coast of Koh Tao it's literally a 15 minute little
01:56longtail boat away and it's one of the most spectacular views I've seen in all
01:59my years of traveling now with most beautiful places in the world it tends
02:03to attract crowds and Koh Naing Yon is no exception you have to pay to get on the
02:07island but the view and the spectacular beauty of this island definitely outweighs
02:11the cost and the crowds that you'll probably have to put up with I
02:14recommend coming here towards the end of the day so you avoid most the crowds
02:17there wasn't that many fish but it was still cool there's some coral I saw a sea
02:21cucumber it's exciting number six is Rayleigh and Rayleigh is basically taking a page
02:28right out of Avatar this place is unbelievably beautiful I would even go
02:33as far as saying it's probably the most spectacular landscapes I have ever seen
02:37in one place however the reason it's not in the top three is again the crowds
02:42you're gonna have to deal with quite a bit of tourism but luckily because
02:46there's few places to sleep it does quiet down at night so if you're willing
02:49to spend extra money you can get an incredible sunset because by then most
02:53people have headed back to the mainland this is also a great place to do rock
02:56climbing and they have some incredible island tours they take you to some of the
03:00most pristine beaches and again be warned that like most of Thailand these
03:04days you will probably see crowds number five is actually two different
03:08islands but they're so close to each other I thought I would bring them
03:10together Kou Yau Ye and Kou Yau Noi are two little islands right off the
03:16coast of busy Phuket both of them are incredible islands and if you're in the
03:19Phuket area I highly recommend you escape Phuket to go check these two out
03:23they've got incredibly beautiful beaches and unlike pretty much every beach I've
03:28mentioned so far you will probably not have to face any form of crowd nobody
03:33else here so I guess there's only like one other guest checked in so I feel like
03:36this is like our own private beach and it's so nice I'm loving this
03:43no they're not the most spectacular beaches in Thailand on their own but
03:47the fact that you have privacy an awesome island to rent a scooter and
03:50explore there's a few good restaurants and a few great hotels I have to say
03:54these are definitely some of the must-visit beaches in Thailand now number
03:57four is Kona gay now admittedly it's been at least a couple years since I was last
04:02there and it may have changed but when I was there last I just remember seeing one
04:06of the most pristine beaches I'd ever seen with the most clear blue water there
04:11was a simple swing set up where you could just feel like you were swinging
04:13through paradise and there was nobody else there other than a few day trippers
04:17one of the ways to see Kona gay without spending the big money to actually stay
04:21on the island is to do the day trip there's a four island and a five island
04:24tour and sometimes they'll include Kona guy I would definitely try to go out of my
04:28way to see it number three is Siree Beach in Kotao this beach holds a special
04:33place in my heart for a different reason it is not the most beautiful it is
04:37probably one of the busiest and sometimes it can even be a little bit
04:41dirty but what I love about Siree Beach is the nightlife and when it's nighttime it
04:45comes to life you've got bars restaurants you've even got fire shows going on I
04:50definitely recommend Kotao to any traveler Kotao is actually a very big
04:54island and it has many other beautiful beaches surrounding it but Siree is the one
04:58that definitely gets the most attention and it's the best for the nightlife the
05:01second most beautiful beach in all of Thailand is on an island that as of
05:05right now very few people are visiting on the eastern coast of Thailand near the
05:09Cambodian border there are a few beautiful islands and Khokud is one of them my
05:13girlfriend and I had the incredible opportunity to stay at one of the
05:16finest resorts in all of Thailand and at that resort they had this beach on
05:20Khokud that literally was what dreams were made of so this right here is the
05:25north beach of Soneva absolutely pristine this is the most beautiful beach I've ever
05:31seen in my entire life hands down granted it's also not the most natural
05:36beach I've ever seen this place is definitely groomed you can tell that
05:39there's not a single piece of garbage there's not a single piece of foliage
05:42that's been left around they keep this place in tip-top condition but purely from
05:47an aesthetics point of view this is the premium beach you cannot beat this now
05:52the reason it's not number one was because it's not publicly available and it was so
05:56well groomed that it really wasn't that natural of a beach but for just
05:59enjoying that romantic getaway or having that picture-perfect moment that
06:03beach in Khokud Thailand was my favorite and last but not least is the number one
06:09beach in all of Thailand it's actually very close to Khokud Thailand and that is
06:14on an island by the name of Koh Mak now Koh Mak similar to Khokud is currently a
06:19bit of a sleeper island but it is unbelievably beautiful and I think that
06:23there is a lot more tourism coming its way soon if you want to experience a
06:27pristine beach that still has great amenities restaurants and hotels but you
06:32don't have to compete with the crowds then you're definitely going to want to
06:34check out Khokag and what leads me to the number one beach is actually not
06:38Han Khomag but a little island right off the coast of it just a ten minute
06:41long tail boat away Khokam was it Khokam so I think it's Khokam and Khokam is a
06:49privately owned island and on it was one of the most incredible beaches I've ever seen
06:53It basically ticked off every box that you could possibly be looking for if you want to find the most
06:58beautiful beach
06:59Incredible fine white sands the clearest of blue waters the tall swaying palm trees
07:04And it even had a feeling of being disconnected from the rest of the world
07:08Which I absolutely loved for me
07:10It is the perfect island and it takes my number one in all of Thailand if you're coming to Thailand
