Bangtao Beach area constists of Bangtao, Cherngtalay, and Laguna. Bangtao is the longest beach in Phuket and it is located halfway between Phuket International Airport and Patong Beach.

Bang Tao Beach has some interesting history behind it. It used to be a tin mining area, which of course brought in fortunes for Phuket as a trade. But after some time, the land came into decline and wasn’t worth much anymore. At this point, it was just a piece of land next to the Andaman Sea.
