Surin gets all the attention but Nai Yang has more consistent waves and way fewer people fighting for position. Works best on south swells during monsoon season May through October.

Right-hand break near the national park entrance offers long rides on good days. Water depth is perfect for intermediate surfers and the paddle out is easy compared to Surin's rock situation. Board rental at Nai Yang Surf Shop for 300 THB/day.

Plus you get bonus entertainment from planes landing at the airport literally overhead. Surreal experience catching waves while 747s pass above you.
