One bay north of Bang Saphan and around 70km south of Prachuap Khiri Khan, sits Ban Krut, a cute little Thai town with a pretty and very low-key sweeping stretch of sand lined by a mix of coconut palms and casuarina trees.
Ban Krut is actually just the northern end of the even larger Thong Lang Bay (Ao Thong Lang). As you head south, it becomes Don Samran Beach, then Thong Lang Beach, afterwhich it hits the headland which separates the area from Bang Saphan.
That said, the Ban Krut area is probably the best of the lot, and when it's not overrun by locals on long-weekend and school holidays, it's pretty deserted -- if you like stretches of sand all for yourself, Ban Krut could be for you.
Why stop here? Well, to be honest, aside from some serious tan-work, there's not much to do here other than swim and eat, but that's not to say it isn't worth a visit -- you're on holiday right?
If nothing else, if you're staying in the Bang Saphan Yai area anyway, consider it as a potential daytrip destination.
Things get a bit livelier (by Ban Krutian standards) as you near the Big Buddha towards the northern end of the beach (the accommodation is at the southern end) where there are some good, cheap seafood restaurants by the beach -- some of which even have English menus -- how's that for flash.
