Nai Hanหาดในหาน
Spend 1–2 days in Nai Han: half a day for beach, a night for sunset, dinner and nearby sights.
Nai Han is a quiet beach at Phuket’s southern tip, dominated by a monastery that limits development. The lagoon, nearby Ao Sen and Phromthep Cape make a short stay rewarding. One day covers the sand; add an overnight for sunset views and a relaxed dinner.
