The UK’s Sunday Times voted Ao Kantiang the best beach in Thailand, which is quite a claim, but it quite possibly deserves the accolade. The sand is super-fine, the views are postcard-perfect and it’s usually deserted.

The island's poshest five-star resort is here, complete with million-dollar yachts moored offshore. A few much smaller resorts do business along the northern end of the beach, where there are also some good cafes and restaurants.

Only a few years ago this beach was almost off-limits due to the state of the roads. Now, thanks to more upmarket resorts, it has opened up. Whether you stay here or not, coming here for a few hours is a must, partly to see how the other half live and partly to enjoy the superb beach.

Back up on the main road sits a small community where you’ll find a reasonable number of cafes and restaurants, as well as a 7-eleven.

(Remotely sensible, non-ranting comments are much appreciated. If you don't like somewhere, please explain why -- it's all far more helpful for others that way.) Serial ranters, loons and spammers will be banished!
And please, no self-promotional URLs -- that's what your signature field is for.

So how does it rate?

On a scale of one to ten (with 10 being outstanding and 1 being bloody awful) how would you rate here under the following criteria?

Note: Ratings are OUT OF TEN -- not five!
Please note comments are edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
