The length of Bang Po is about 3 km, stretching from east to west between the coastline and the Ring Road. On West, the road runs literally 30-50 meters from the sea, and near a small mountain in the middle of Bang Po road goes from the water further to 200 meters.

There are two plots with washed ground, where the channels of the two drainage channels, which in the dry the season is empty, and during the rains they turn into rivers and erode beaches with sewage. In these places on the beach formed shoals.
Covered with coarse yellow sand, Bang Po has rocky places. and sometimes muddy, shallow seabed, which will not work walk barefoot and with a pleasant smile on his face. Only special shoes and distance from shore to 50-10 meters to go in the water to the waist
Despite the fact that the sea on Bang Po is not the most convenient in terms of bathing, a large number of hotels and resorts are built near the beach, whose owners maintain cleanliness and order in front of their territories. There are several empty, unbuilt parcels, opposite which the beach has a pristine look and deposits of trash in surf band. But overall, Bang Po leaves a good impression. well maintained and civilized.

Entry, depth and waves
At low tide, the sea is ten meters from the coast, coral thickets and shoal along Bang Po beach extend to 150-200 meters When entering the water, small stones fall under your feet, prevents a viscous bottom. Boulders are so large that visible and a hundred meters from the shore (on the left side of the beach, on the right there is no such).
On the left side of the beach in the water, in the surf, dangles brown suspension and black spots on the bottom.
The best time for swimming on Bang Po, especially for children – it is the morning hours, when the tide has not yet begun, and the sea covers those most 10 m sandy beach. Waves on a regular basis here absent, and appear only during bad weather and strong winds.
It is worth noting that in autumn and winter there is much more water, and in this beach period is getting better: it is a little deeper, to the strip Coral becomes 10-20 metro further.

Infrastructure
Because of its shallow water and lack of humanity, Bang Po did not get beach activities such as jet skis, water bananas and inflatable castles. Mostly come across massage houses and rental kayaks, but the main thing available at Bang Po is an occupation, this is a beach Dolce Fariente. Bang Po location between the most popular Koh Samui’s northern beach, Maenam, and the hermit Tong Plu formed a fluid infrastructure around the beach.
Along the road you can find a couple of mini-markets, many Thai cafes and restaurants, a number of restaurants overlooking the sea, several laundries, bottle refills, in general – the minimum set for such a beach. Bang Po is attractive because being away from the main life of the island, it has not turned into a sleepy realm of type Taling Ngam, but life in it is not in full swing. Maenam in this regard more active will be.
Hypermarkets are located half an hour’s drive from Lompraya Pier and Citran Ferry about 15 minutes by car. To the airport to go around forty minutes, provided that no traffic accident happened on the route. The traffic on the Ring Road along Bang Po is quite intensive, and cars rush at a higher speed than on Maenam.
Nearest beach attractions:

Houses and hotels on the beach
The coastline along Bang Po is fairly dense, especially in the eastern half of the beach, after turning the road. If in the west along the water are single buildings-restaurants, then the east is busy high-grade resorta with 10-15 houses on closed from strangers eye territory.
The main choice of houses begins for Ring Road, and price range is significant.
