John from Thailand

“Used to live near Nai Harn beach. There are only waves here for half the year and during that time it is very rarely any good. Maybe 1 day a month is half decent when onshore winds aren't blowing hard. I wouldn't go out of your way to surf here. Kata is slightly better but if you want good waves you might as well just go to Indo or the Philippines.”
