Ban Krut
Ban Krut is a small beach town that is situated around 20km north of Bangsaphan Yai. It has a beautiful long golden beach and a beach road lined with restaurants and resorts.
The main difference to Bangsaphan is this road, it gives the beach a "busier" feel as opposed to the quiet settings and limited road access further south. The beach road has also undergone massive development with new resorts, condos and shopfronts all appearing in the last year or two.
The town at Ban Krut is nothing more than a cluster of small local shops and houses. Larger shopping areas can found in Prachuap Khiri Khan which is about 65 km to the north or further south in Bangsaphan (15 km) or Chumphon.

What's in a name?
Ban Krut is spelt a number of different ways as transliteration from Thai to English is not always clear cut. You may see the following spellings: Ban Krud, Baan Krud, Ban Krood. The Thai spelling ( ºéÒ¹¡ÃÙ´ ) would indicate that Ban Krud is correct but we see most road signs using Ban Krut so have gone with that!
The journey from Ban Krut to Bangsaphan only takes around 20 minutes but passes through some spectacular scenery including miles of unspoilt beach, coconut palm groves, colourful fishing boats and azure blue ocean.
