At Golden Buddha Beach Resort, an almost deserted, 16-kilometer beach is practically at the doorstep of your private bungalow, located on a large, tree-covered lot ensuring you quietness and privacy.
Golden Buddha Beach is the only resort on its pristine island, which until quite recently harbored sea gypsies and pirates. |
FASTING RETREAT NOVEMBER 9 TO 15
Purify mind, body, and spirit
in the serene natural environment of Golden Buddha Beach.

The resort is in a world class setting - a narrow peninsula
jutting into the Andaman Sea with a pristine cove on one side
and an endless sweep of golden beach on the other side.
It is an ideal launching point for exploring the marine life
and islands of the Andaman Sea, and is located near Kuraburi,
about two hours north of Phuket. See map.

Bird watching is a favorite pastime of some of our visitors, one of whom has furnished us a bird watching list of over a hundred sightings by a group of bird watchers who were recent guests.
You will enjoy the pleasure of sleeping in simple but comfortable surroundings situated in a natural park. Delicious meals prepared with fresh ingredients, both Thai and Western, are served in an open-air pavilion.
There is a variety of nature walks to be enjoyed - from beach to forest to small wooded hills overlooking the ocean.

Suggested Trip
We suggest the following itinerary, but we can also arrange shorter or longer visits.

Day 1 - Travel to Golden Buddha Beach
Travel in an air-conditioned van from Phuket or other major Southern Thailand town, via a beautiful coastal highway to the Golden Buddha boat landing. Then head out by boat through mangrove-filled bays and past fishing villages to the resort.
Day 2 - Rain Forest Trek
After breakfast, a short boat ride takes you to Ra Island. Take a jungle walk across the forested spine of the island through the tropical terrain with five different eco-systems. Emerge at a deserted beach for lunch and a swim. If you are interested in tropical vegetation and other jungle life, we also suggest a three day-trip to the Jungle Lodge at Khao Soke National Park.
