What are the top beaches in Thailand and what are the main features of each i.e. geography, tourist population, night life? Will be traveling in May with a group of mid-20s friends and would be great to also meet up with other RVFers there.
Haven't found a thread that consolidates all this info.
Thanks all.

The title of this thread is insofar funny, as it reminds me of a French guy I met in Thailand back in 2008 when Koh Lipe was still a relatively pristine island. He liked the island a lot, but kept saying that "the bitches are not very clean". I took me a few seconds to realize that he actually meant the beaches.

I dont have time to make a list, but the most scenic beach area I've been to in Thailand is around Ao Nang.

Koh Tao is really nice island. Mostly backpackers and divers. No families on two weeks vacation, no Russians, very little shitty Thai people, only one bar with hookers. Perfect setup with the bars and restaurants right on the beach. Sairee is the main party spot.

I'm in Phuket right now.
All the beaches, bar Patong, are deserted (there's a joke in there somewhere).
Even Patong beach is pretty quiet to be honest.

I agree Koh Tao is great but mostly couples and divers, some small cool parties but nothing major. Good place to take a girl though

The Sanctuary in Koh Phangan. Only accessible via boat from Haad Rin (or through the jungle via 4x4), but worth the hassle.
Full of hot Russian chicks doing yoga by day, dropping pills and looking for dick at night.
