Terry, what are your top five beaches in Thailand? My New Year's resolution is to visit several white sand beaches this year.

Actually, it all relies on the weather and season.

The best beach in the world can be covered in flotsam and shit if visiting at the wrong time of the year or just plain unlucky to visit when a storm blows through.

Thailand has some beautiful beaches but the above formula applies.

Hard to go by the beaches on the Andaman sea on a good day but the ones along the Gulf of Thailand can be equally as good when the weathers on.

Now and the next few months are the time to start your visit before the next monsoon season.

April is particularly good because of the lack of wind but very very fokin hot. Great for diving though.

February is good for just plebing out on the beach.

Love the advice on the resort website:

What to pack?


Because “shopping” options on the island are limited,
guests may want to consider bringing along any of the items listed below. However, Pansand guests are advised to leave behind worries and concerns.

Didn't realise that nearby Koh Tarutao had such a history.

Ko Tarutao is a place of historical importance. Between 1938 and 1948, more than 3000 Thai criminals and political prisoners were held here, including Sittiporn Gridagon, the son of Rama VII. During World War II, food and medical supplies from the mainland were depleted and many prisoners died from malaria. Those who survived, both prisoners and guards, became pirates in the nearby Strait of Malacca. Later they were suppressed by British troops in 1944

I forgot Michaelmas Cay which is a sandbar in the middle of the great barrier reef. You can swim off of it.

Cua Dai beach near Hoi An, Vietnam is a great beach. White sand, quiet and no dogs or hagglers.

Don't know La Digue but yes the Marquesas once flotation tanks fitted to the Hilux do you think 1000 bahts diesel will suffice!

Thanks for the info Terry, but what are your favorite 5 beaches in Thailand when the weather is 'on'?
