This Thai Beach Was Named the Most 'Paradise-like' in Asia-With Travelers Saying It Feels Like 'Thailand 20 Years Ago'
"Over the summer, the team at Kuoni released its list of the 20 most "paradise-like" beaches in the world. To figure out which are truly the best of the best, the team started with a curated seed list of more than 180 globally recognized beaches, drawn from both internal travel expertise and recommendations from leading travel publications. It then analyzed each destination's percentage of positive traveler reviews on popular review platforms that included the word 'paradise' in the title or content."
""Found in the Khanom District, a small and undisturbed fishing town, the beaches found in Ao Khanom bay offer a serene alternative to the tourist-heavy Thai beaches," the findings stated. "Coming in fourth place in the overall paradise beach rankings, over 13 percent of Ao Thong Yee's reviews describe it as a paradise destination, with travelers mentioning how they are charmed by the peaceful local culture, describing it as 'Thailand back 20 years ago' and 'like a private beach most of the time'." The team also noted that the beach's golden yellow sand, breathtaking rock formations, and plentiful palm trees really do make it look like a textbook paradise."
"Thailand had two other spots rank in the top 20: Surin Islands in Mu Koh Surin National Park came in at No. 10 globally while Ko Lipe ranked No. 12. As for which stretch of sand took the top spot, that honor went to a beach in the South Pacific Ocean: Port Olry Beach in Vanuatu."
Kuoni compiled a ranked list of the 20 most paradise-like beaches worldwide using a curated seed list of more than 180 globally recognized beaches from internal expertise and leading travel publications. Each destination was analyzed for the percentage of positive traveler reviews that included the word 'paradise' in the title or content. Ao Thong Yee in Thailand's Nakhon Si Thammarat Province ranked No. 4 globally and No. 1 in Asia because over 13 percent of reviews called it a paradise and travelers praised its peaceful local culture and near-private beach feel. The beach's golden yellow sand, rock formations, and palm trees contribute to its textbook-paradise look. Thailand placed two other beaches in the top 20, while Port Olry Beach in Vanuatu took the No. 1 spot.
