Ko Samui Hua Thanon Beach

Hua Thanon Beach on Ko Samui's eastern coast is a sheltered bay environment characterized by shallow, flat water and visible sandbars. The coastline faces west into a protected bay with multiple underwater features. Water conditions are extremely calm with minimal wave generation, making this primarily a flat-water spot suitable only during strong wind events. The bay's configuration offers side-shore wind potential from northerly directions, though wind reliability is very low at 9.7%, making consistent sessions unreliable. Shallow depths throughout the bay create ideal conditions for learning but limit wave riding. The area shows residential and commercial development adjacent to the beach. Best suited for absolute beginners practicing body dragging and light-wind technique in flat conditions. Kiters should expect long periods without adequate wind. Water temperature averages 28.2°C year-round. Local knowledge of shallow areas and sandbars is essential for safe navigation. This spot requires patience and realistic expectations regarding wind frequency and wave opportunity.
