BANG RAK BEACH

Bang Rak is just two kilometers east of Bhophut, and part of Bhophut province. Bang Rak is sometimes referred to as Big Buddha Beach, after the 19-metre gold tinted statue of the ancient spiritual master which overlooks the entire bay (Big Buddha).  Bang Rak is quite close to the airport, and is one of the calmest beaches, although the jade colored waters are often a bit murky.  Bang Rak is the jump off point to sister island Ko Phangan, and the ferry goes every day.  One of the best restaurants here is Ocean 11 with their fantastic Italian/European and Seafood.
