Thong Sala Beach



Thong  Sala  Beach
(sometimes also called Ao Bang Charu) is a mudflat beach. During low tide in the summer months, you can walk through the shallow water all the way to the reef and take a bath in the little pools there. In the evenings the beach is a magnificent background for the sunset. Swimming is possible from December to April, but, of course, there are better alternatives on the island. Thong Sala town can easily be reached on foot along the beach. 



Thong Sala Beach has changed a lot in recent years. Once a very undeveloped spot, it now has bungalows and bars pretty much everywhere. All in all, you will find a younger, more party-oriented crowd here than north of Thong Sala. However, the beach has its own charm which is best to be explored on foot. 
Thong Sala Beach is very good for walking and running during low tide as you can cover quite a distance in both directions. Sunset here is very nice as everywhere on the West Coast, but lacking the big boulders on the beach you will find in abundance further up the coast.
The main road is a little less attractive though. Along the busy street there are plenty of go-go bars, food stalls and stretches of garbage. But relax, even if it looks shady, it's hardly ever dangerous.
Accommodation along the beach, from Thong Sala all the way to the river which marks the beginning of Ban Tai North Beach:

Chor Chang (ช่อช้าง) (ThongSala)

Chor Chang offers a Thai hot pan buffet.
The concept is simple, but delicious:
You have a pan on your table under which there is a fire burning. You can barbecue right on this pan. Around the pan there is a little 'ditch' with a soup in it which collects all the juices running down, thus getting more delicious all the time.
There is a huge buffet with plenty of greens, meat, seafood, spices, sauces, fruits and things prepared in advance like fish cakes and meat balls.
They have an All-you-can-eat-policy, but if you leave something on your plate you will have to pay extra.
