A long beach for yourself

Total Page Views for ThungNangDam: 48,002 - Views this week: 48,002
Thung Nang Dam Island is a completely unknown island. It is situated on the coast off Khuraburi in PhangNga province. Thung Nang Dam is the northernmost of the large coastal  islands of Phang Nga province.
Thung Nang Dam Island has a 6 km long sandy beach on its western shore, called Khuraburi Beach. From there on a clear day visitors can spot the Surin Islands due west in the Andaman Sea. 
Even locals are surprised when they hear that Thung Nang Dam is a real island. It is clearly separated from the mainland by a 10 to 200 meter wide mangrove lined canal.
Yes, they sometimes go there by boat in order to relax and collect sea shells, but boats are just their traditional means of transport in the area. So they never thought of this beach being on an island.
In November 2010 Thung Nang Dam Island gained some prominence when Khun Kitti, an entrepreneur from Bangkok, opened The Camp Resort right on the beach. He set up some luxurious tents, converted an abandoned house into the restaurant  with 2 bedrooms, built a beautiful sanitary block with a dozen or so bathrooms, employed 3 very friendly staff and brought the only vehicle to the island, an ancient songthaeo.
Khun Kitti printed brochures and posters and presented his dream island on the Amazing Phang Nga Fair in Khao Lak in November 2010.

Pristine nature
Khun Kitti offered a two day/one night package for the sensational price of 1600 Baht -- and immediately found his first guests who booked for one night and ALL stayed one to four days longer!
A great start for The Camp Resort!
Khun Kitti runs this very special resort just like his retirement home and does literally everything for his guests. The greatest praise he receives for the seafood dinners which are absolutely outstanding. Word of mouth spread and he enjoyed an amazing first season.

The Camp Resort on Thung Nang Dam Island is a unique tent resort in the south of Thailand. The tents are set up 5 metres from the sandy beach under huge casuarina trees. These tents are true 3-star tents with a sleeping room and a separate sitting room in front, from where there is a fantastic view of the sandy beach, the Andaman Sea and Koh Ra Island further to the left. The rooms are well equipped with mats on the floor, very comfortable thick mattresses, some nice and cozy furnishings and a good fan. The doors consist of zipped mosquito screens. The sitting room is very comfortable and nice to look at.
Sanitary rooms are 40 meters back behind the restaurant building. Food is served under a large roof from natural material. This food is a reason already to come to The Camp Resort. The dinners are a sensation in itself: seafood in quantities that nobody is able to finish, in a quality that could compete with any famous seafood restaurant in the south, served with a warmth of character that makes your heart to really enjoy the meal.
All guests to whom we spoke were full of praise for this dinner, but also for the breakfast and the slightly smaller lunch.
Listening to all this praise (that we fully share from our own experience) makes us almost forget the other facilities that the resort has to offer. These are swimming in the sea, walking along an absolutely lonely beach, collecting big seashells, walking through the pristine nature of the island, riding mountain bikes to the farthest corners, kayaking in the sea, and taking a guided boat trip around the island visiting fish and crab farms.
In the package the transfer from Khuraburi bus station to the island and back is included.
In a two day package a trip to the Surin Islands can be arranged at self cost.
Diving and snorkeling in the north of Koh Ra is possible but not recommended as the currents tend to be too strong creating a less than acceptable visibility.

Click here for the website about Khuraburi
Thung Nang Dam Island has less than 50 inhabitants living far apart from each other in solitary houses. Families have moved to the mainland so that the children get a normal education. 
We spotted a few orchid farms, a cattle farm, several fish and crab farms and the new Chinese temple Viharn Sien -- that's all.
A few sea eagles  live on the hills in the center of the island and fly in circles high above the island.
