Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Pakdoud Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 2 mi (3.3 km) from central Sao Phao. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Sichon Beach.
If you like haggling for the best price, you might want to head out to Municipal Food Market when visiting Nakhon Si Thammarat. Splash some more cash at Sahathai Plaza.
