Ko Sichang has many beaches, all with cleaner, clear water than any mainland
beach in the northern Gulf.
By far the biggest, best and most popular is Haad Tham Phang (Collapsed
Cave Beach). There you'll find all the conveniences a tourist could want,
minus jet skis. Other beaches are smaller, more secluded and often pristine.
None of these places has lifeguards, but the drop-off is very gradual at all
the beaches, and the surf is seldom any threat. |

The most obvious and popular active pastime on Ko Sichang is swimming. The
water quality does vary, but it's almost always a lot clearer and cleaner
than at mainland beaches in the northern Gulf of Siam. Waves are very seldom
high enough to discourage anybody who can actually swim. Jetskis,
parasailers, speedboats and other motorized irritants are rare--on the outer
islands, just about unheard-of..
There are also no lifeguards, and no beaches where even partial nudity is
a matter of course. The local womenfolk most often swim in shorts and
t-shirts plus standard underwear. Visitors who go topless WILL attract
uncomfortable attention; the only places where total nudity has any hope of
privacy are small beaches on the outer islands, to which you'll have to hire
a boat. |
