Basically you’re looking at Pattaya / Jomtien, or Hua Hin, or Phuket.

The beaches in Phuket are by far the best of these, and if you choose to stay in the north of Phuket (Bangtao Besch or above) you will be at great beaches and still 30-40 minutes from Central mall.

What is your idea of a tourist trap ? There are maybe 10 beaches to choose from Bang Tao and north of there,

Definitely rent a car
