An Bang Beach is renowned for its white sand, clear skies, swimming, and snorkeling. Adventure travelers can try their hand at paragliding, jet skiing and body surfing. For those seeking a more laid-back experience, there are lounge chairs and bicycles.

My Khe is described by Tripadvisor as "checks all the boxes when you want a relaxing beach day." It is a serene place with soft sand and gentle waves, and usually uncrowded, making it simple to find a spot to relax.

At the top of the list are Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida Island, Indonesia, Banana Beach in Thailand and Haeundae Beach in South Korea.

The rankings are determined by factors such as popularity, accessibility, landscapes, water cleanliness, and activities available for tourists.

The Best of the Best Beaches in Asia award is part of Tripadvisor's yearly Travelers' Choice Best of the Best awards. These awards honor the most beloved destinations, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment activities worldwide, with categories revealed throughout the year.

The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best is given to places and experiences that get exceptional reviews from Tripadvisor users, with less than 1% of the eight million listings achieving this recognition.
