Sichon Beach, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Sichon Beach with lots of angry waves is the pearl of Gulf of Thailand. This is the perfect place for relaxation and experiencing real Thailand. A long but narrow strip of golden sand, great for long walks, truly beautiful. The sea becomes quieter and the beach gets much wider in summer months. Sichon is located in between Khanom and Surat Thani. Surfboards and kayaks are the significant elements of the landscape here.
