Laem Son Park

Laem Son Park is a protected coastal area on Thailand's Andaman Sea coast, featuring a long sandy beach backed by dense mangrove and tropical forest. The coastline faces west toward the Andaman Sea with a gently sloping shallow water zone. While the setting is scenic, this location presents significant practical limitations for kitesurfing. Average wind speeds of 4.1 knots fall well below the 10+ knots typically required for kitesurfing, and wind reliability of only 0.3% indicates highly inconsistent conditions. Average wave heights of 0.47m are negligible. The choppy water suggests gusty, turbulent wind patterns unsuitable for the sport. The narrow beach area backed by forest restricts setup space, and shallow water near shore increases hazards. This spot would only be viable during exceptional weather systems bringing strong offshore wind, which occur rarely. The park designation and environmental protection status may also impose restrictions on water sports activities.
