About Hat Sakom
Hat Sakom is a long sandy beach in Sakom Subdistrict, Thepha District, Songkhla Province, on the Gulf of Thailand near the Pattani border. It is known for its quiet, undeveloped coastline lined with casuarina pines, fine sand and views of the open sea. The beach serves a small fishing community and remains less crowded than major tourist beaches, offering a natural coastal setting for relaxation and photography.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long, straight sandy shoreline backed by casuarina pine trees and a small fishing village. The beach is wide, relatively undeveloped and quiet, with fishing boats, open sea views and natural coastal scenery. Areas for walking, sitting under trees, photography and picnicking are available. There are small local food stalls and parking near the beach access points, but no large resorts or commercial developments directly on the sand.
