Overview

Pak Meng Beach is located in Trang Province on Thailand's Andaman coast. This long sandy beach faces west toward the Andaman Sea, receiving the southwest monsoon winds from May to October. The beach offers a wide riding area with side-shore to onshore winds during the season.

The spot is suitable for intermediate kiters. The shallow sandy bottom close to shore makes launching and landing straightforward. Waves can build during stronger wind days. The area is relatively uncrowded compared to more popular Thai kite spots.
