Top Nature in Rawai

Bring some cash! Not all beach vendors accept cards and having cash handy for beach chairs or food means no hassle. I learned this the hard way.

If you’re renting a scooter, avoid the main road during rush hours (8-9 AM and 5-6 PM) to dodge traffic. It’ll make getting to Karon Beach a lot smoother!

My advice is to avoid the sun loungers with umbrellas - they can charge you a fee! Just bring your towel and find a nice spot of sand to chill.

If you're planning to catch the sunset, try to get there by 5 PM. That way, you can snag a good spot at one of the beach bars and enjoy a drink while watching the sky turn colors.

I recommend getting there early, around 9 AM, to score the best sunbeds and enjoy the beach before it gets crowded. It makes for a much more relaxing experience!

If you want to avoid the crowds, my advice is to hit the beach by 8 AM. It was sooo peaceful then, and I got the best spot for my beach towel.
