Klong Dao Beach is not stretched out in a single line, but rather resembles its shape is a semicircle with strongly curved edges. This is such a bay the right edge of which is bent quite strongly, forming a deep wedging land into the sea. At the very right site Klong Dao no meaning to settle because the beach is a pleasure coast, not cupola.
There are few tourists, and people mostly come here take a walk and sunbathe. You can often watch Thais as whole families come for picnics. More on Klong Dao worth a couple of expensive resorts that look pretty cute, but to bathe you will have to go closer to the center. The rest of this beach on Ko Koh Lanta is gorgeous, but very small.

Beach description
After I drove and saw all the beaches of Koh Lanta, oh Klong Tao I have a clear opinion – a calm, beautiful family beach. In length, despite the fact that it is not Long Beach, Klong Dao is also not will call short. It stretches for 2.7 kilometers, and in my opinion – this is a fairly long beach. I even had to assign myself three points. shooting, so I put photos of the beach in parts.
Visually, the whole area is flat, just like Long Beach. With a point view of beauty when compared with other small islands of type Phangan, Klong Dao less attractive, some it is not tropical. It is dominated by the usual Thai buildings, the shore is not covered with palm trees, and deciduous trees, very simple in appearance and low-key.
The sand on the beach is yellowish, but when it dries up, it becomes very light.
Entry, depth and waves
Klong Dao is very similar to Long Beach in terms of increasing depth: depth increases gradually. About 10 meters to you will be on the shoulders, provided that you come to swim at high water.
Low tides dramatically change Klong Dao for the worse: the beach it becomes unprofitable and the sea goes 100-150 meters, and then still need to go on the water a lot. Therefore, the standard scheme bathing here is this: people pass until it becomes approximately waist-high and just flop in the water. After all, in order to swim, not be sure to have two meters below. Waves On Klong Tao happen with passing breeze, but because of the shallow water there is usually quiet.
Sun beds and shade
But the shadows on Klong Dao, it seemed to me that it was smaller. There are trees, but they are mostly in private territory, strictly on the ticker, and give free shadow more in the first half day, while the sun rises to zenith and gives long shadows from trees. In the second half you need to move under trees, and this is the territory of an institution, which is not The fact that you miss.
Many cafes have their own lounge chairs, so some tourists settles around the bar and for the drink gets the right to lie on lounge chair like a white man. There are not many people on the beach that pleases They are really even less than on Long Beach.

Infrastructure
The structure of the district is fairly standard: the main island. the road goes along the coast, and between the road and the sea the entire first line occupy resorts and bungalows. To get to the beach, need to go either through the territory of the resort, or on one of tracks between these resorts that lead directly to the beach.
The distance from the road to the shore, that is, the width of the first line – inconstant: the right side is quite wide and it will not fit Only the first line of hotels, but the second and third. But on the left parts so narrow that the road is almost visible from the road.
Klong Dao has all the necessary infrastructure for a beach. recreation: cafes, restaurants, bars, massage, small clinic, several network minimarkets 7/11 and a full gas station. In the very the beginning of Klong Dao, in its right part there is practically a mini-city (with taking into account the format of Lanta, of course).
In general, the first impression from Klong Dao makes it clear right away that you have come to a resort village that is just beginning unwind. Everything is very low, one or two-story, there is a lot of space between the buildings, the roads are wide and constantly There are construction sites or wastelands.
Klong Dao is an area with the most developed infrastructure in island, and if you specify your opinion about the beach, then I personally he seemed no worse than Long Beach, which is considered here is the best. In my opinion, both Long Beach and Klong Dao are pretty strong. look alike and are great for a beach holiday in composition of the family.
