Sananwan Beach is situated 7 kilometres south of Bang Saphan Noi, a sleepy little town on the east coast of Thailand 80 kilometres north of Chumpon. The area is one of the few remaining stretches of coastline untouched by tourism with seemingly endless stretches of deserted beach and picturesque fishing villages. About 5 kilometres offshore from Sananwan Beach is Koh Tahlu, an island famous for its idyllic scenery. area map By car A 5 to 6 hour drive (400km) from Bangkok by Highway #4 will take you to Bangsapan Yai from which you may follow driving directions.
