1. Freedom Beach

    Getting to Freedom Beach requires either hiring a longtail boat or hiking a sweaty 25-minute jungle trail, which is exactly why it's worth it. The crowds that swarm Patong never bother making the effort, so you get a proper stretch of white sand, calm Andaman water, and jungle hills keeping the whole thing to yourself. It's a beach, not a resort, so pack your own supplies and just show up ready to do nothing for a few hours.
