Sex on the beach: Top five sandy hotspots

4. Phang Nga Bay, Thailand

A bay of extraordinary beauty made famous by a film titled The Man With The Golden Gun. Steep-sided islands covered in tropical flora tower impressively out of a jade-green sea. Charming bungalows on a variety of these islands offer views of the limestone karsts with their spectacular dripping stalactites.

Although you'll be offered all kinds of boating tours to James Bond Island and whatnot, we recommend hiring a couple of canoes and exploring the area at your leisure, as there is no shortage of idyllic and rather well-concealed spots you can paddle into for some sneaky action.
