The World Beach Guide website has ranked the best beaches in the world in 2023 (Top 100 beaches on Earth 2023), and sitting proudly in first place is Koh Kradan, Trang Province.

     The highlight of Koh Kradan Beach is the delicacy of the sand, with a soft feel almost like flour when you’re walking on it. The seawater in front of the beach is so clear that you can see coral reefs and schools of colorful fish of many species. The seawater here has a beautiful color with a light blue gradation in the shallow waters to blue in deep water areas. It's a quiet beach, not crowded, so it has been chosen as the location for several underwater weddings. There are various islands in the Trang Sea such as Koh Mook, Koh Waen, Koh Chuak, Koh Ma, and Koh Ngai, all of which are components that complete the beauty of the scene.

     In addition, a long stretch of coral reef running parallel to the shore is an important part of the ecosystem of this beach, as it acts as a natural dam and helps to keep the water near the beach calm. The sand that floats downstream will precipitate and accumulate, until it becomes Koh Kradan Beach, which is the most beautiful in the world.

     Koh Kradan is a wide island, and because the seawater is so clear, the main activities of tourists who come to Koh Kradan are swimming in the sea, snorkeling to see coral reefs, paddleboarding, stand-up paddle boarding (“sup” boarding), and kayaking.

     There are many sunrise and sunset viewpoints on the island, as well.
