Overview

Laem Son National Park is located in Ranong Province on Thailand's upper Andaman coast. The park features long stretches of beach facing the Andaman Sea. The southwest monsoon from May to October brings rideable winds to this west-facing coastline.

This is a remote and uncrowded spot suited for intermediate to advanced riders. Being inside a national park, the natural environment is well preserved. Waves can build during the monsoon season. Access may require some planning as facilities are limited. Check park regulations before riding.
