Balagog Beach is on the Andaman coast in Trang Province, southern Thailand. The beach faces west toward the open Andaman Sea and receives the southwest monsoon from May to October. It also gets some NE monsoon exposure during winter months.

A quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot for intermediate riders. The beach is uncrowded and offers a natural setting. Sandy bottom and warm waters. During the SW monsoon, expect onshore winds and some wave action. Limited facilities nearby.
