Nai Han

Nai Han (หาดในหาน Hat Nai Han), more commonly referred to as Nai Harn, is a beach at the southernmost tip of Phuket, near Laem Phromthep (Phromthep Cape). The northern bit of Nai Han is Ao Sen (อ่าวเสน).

Understand
Some 18 km from Phuket Town, southeast of Kata Noi and north of Laem Phromthep, Nai Han is not Phuket's longest beach, but it borders the most gorgeous lagoon on the island. The middle of the beach is dominated by the Nai Han monastery, which has prevented excessive development and is the reason that the beach is generally less crowded than other spots on the southern part of the island.

See

 * Ao Sen (อ่าวเสน). Often overlooked due to its proximity to Nai Han, and because the connecting road runs through and under the Le Royal Meridien Phuket Yacht Club, Ao Sen has a wan air of long-lost glamour to it. Its chief appeal is the epic view it offers of Nai Han and Phromthep Cape.
 * Hat Nui (หาดนุ้ย). Possibly the most difficult beach to visit on Phuket, Nui lies between the Kata Viewpoint and Nai Han. A wide, dirt road cut through the forested hillside replaced the winding track down to the beach; however this is just as steep and difficult to traverse and should only be attempted by four-wheel drive trucks and moto-cross bikes.
 * Kata View Point (จุดชมวิว). This is located mid-point between Nai Han and Kata beaches. The scenic Kata Noi, Kata and Karon beaches, and Ko Pu can be viewed from here.

Sleep
There are several low-end guesthouses and a hotel on the beach. At the top end is the Evason Resort. The high end Meridien Phuket Yacht Club sits on a hill at one end of the beach.
