Located on Simeulue and Banyak Islands, Indonesia, Thailand is a quality left reef break that offers up a steep drop into a long open wall perfect for ripping turns into. The waves here are not easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef. Head up the coast for some more waves, although it can get a bit treacherous.
