Nai Yang Beach is one of those out of the way and off the beaten tracks hidden gems. It is little known from first timer visitors to Phuket but very popular with returning travellers. Beautiful, shaded, and full of tiny fun bars and restaurants, Nai Yang remains peaceful like most of the northern beaches of Phuket because they are not along the main roads.
With a vast beach, a shallow sea, and many trees to provide shade, this place has not been overly developed and has kept a bit of the old Phuket atmosphere.
The beach itself is large and sandy with a few beach chairs. The water is very shallow, and because of this, the water might not always be as blue as on other beaches lower on the west coast. The sea gets more beautiful in the northern part of the bay.

Hua Takhe Old Market (ตลาดหัวตะเข้เก่า) is a nostalgic canalside community and marketplace in Lat Krabang District, eastern Bangkok. Named after the “crocodile’s head” shape formed by the confluence of Prawet Burirom, Lam Pla Thio, and Hua Takhe canals, this market dates back to the reign of King Rama V (late 19th century). It’s a vibrant yet laid-back spot with century-old wooden shophouses, street art, and a lively local vibe, perfect for a half-day visit, especially near Suvarnabhumi Airport (10-15 min drive).
Wander along the canal past traditional wooden houses, cross a graffiti-covered bridge for photo ops, and soak in the retro charm. The market blends daily life with creative spaces like art galleries and quirky shops, with cats adding to the charm.
Enjoy Thai street food like som tam, grilled skewers, and traditional desserts, or sip coffee at canal-side spots like Siyaek Hua Takhe Cafe. Many dishes reflect Mon culinary influences.
