List of the best beaches of Phangan

If you are traveling for a long time, then choose a place to stay I would start from the beach area Shritana. There is a good choice of accommodation, with many options by the sea. Developed infrastructure, and in general good place for wintering. As an option for longstay, great Chaloklam is one of the best beaches on the island and is developed according to the standards of Phangan district. And if you are not confused by life far from the sea, then feel free to look at Thong Sala, with its excellent infrastructure.

If you go on vacation for a couple of weeks, the choice of the best Beach depends on your preference. Ban Tai Beach, smoothly Overflowing into Thong Sala is not suitable for a beach holiday, but in as a convenient dislocation for active movements around the island, to besides there are quite a lot of budget hotels. Famous for its Full Moon Party, Haad Rin beach, suitable for party days for party-goers, and the rest of the time for lovers of sealers, so Had Rin itself is a great beach.

For a relaxing and inexpensive beach holiday are not bad Haad Yao and Haad Salad beaches. These are western, shallow beaches, but they look attractive and have some infrastructure. Yogas and it makes sense for vegans to settle in Shritana, there are at least two yoga center and a bunch of different healthy cafes. Those who are looking for dear Beach holiday in a reasonable separation from civilization, I recommend beaches Tong Nai Pan. Well, and those who want to see the lost paradise without people and almost no civilization at all – you are at Bot Beach and Haad Yuan.

Hotels in Phangan →

Phangan is a small island that can be crossed from the north. South for 15-20 minutes, no more. If you live in the west, more the developed half of the island, wherever you settle down, everything will be “beside”. But the eastern side is still very little lived (for with the exception of Haad Rin in the south-east), and personally I would not be considered. But this is my opinion, and in fact it may not coincide with anyone else’s. Be sure to ask questions in the comments, I will try to advise something specific. And also welcome and your advice too.

Main beaches

Thong Sala Beach

Thong Sala is the main port town of the island of Phangan, which also has its own beach, although the beach is called conditionally. Complicated relax on the beach where the two largest piers on the island are located with fairly dense traffic. Piers take boats and ferries with thousands of tourists who fly over Tong Salu are not lingering and dissolving in the jungle of Phangan. Watch in Tong Sala is really nothing – it’s an administrative and commercial center. islands where the bulk of commercial and state institutions. People come here to buy food or clothes, change money or buy ferry tickets.

But few can boast that he spent a beach holiday Tong Saly. Part of the coast here is sewn into concrete, and the rest looks not the most attractive, for a beach holiday, way. Oily divorces of diesel fuel in the water, sea garbage on the shore – it looks like it not the most nightmarish, but not the most seductive way. Tong Sala is rather a technical beach, a place for contemplation, a snack, pairs of shots or waiting for your ferry to the mainland. Everything more or less decent beaches begin after the outskirts of the town Tong Sala and I highly recommend moving there. More a detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Thong Sala Beach

Beaches Shritan (Sri Thanu Beach) and Ao Niad (Ao Niad)

In addition to the beach, Shritana, which is actually Si Tanu, is there more beaches Zen Beach and Naked Beach, which, as it turns out, not independent beaches, and just local names of sites Shritana. Complicated? Actually not much when you ride around district and you will see with your own eyes the differences and features of all locations the beach. Be that as it may, Shritana is good anywhere, no matter where you are decided to go to the sea. I would call it a paradise for children and yogis, because that there are many secluded places for solitude and introspection, and the sea is so shallow that even a cat will not sink there.

Shritana at the very beginning of the beach is a classic of the genre. Clean sand, resorts, restaurants, sun beds with umbrellas from palm leaves, cocktails, beautiful sea, completely occupied the first line. Zen Beach is a place for parties, meetings with like-minded people, beach rest and detachment from the world. In a word – Zen. But Naked Beach – it is already a savage compared to the first two, and it is chosen when nothing helps anymore. Naked Beach has few people, resorts and bars, but a lot of silence, waves and grass on the shore. In general, the beauty Shritana is that there is a place for every taste. More a detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Beaches Shritan (Sri Thanu Beach)

Beach Had Chao Pao (Haad Chao Pao)

If we talk about the beaches on the western part of Phangan, then I would Said Chao Pao is a secret beach. Not because everyone I learned about Chao Pao immediately thrown into the sea, but because you just do not find a run. The beach is hidden from random views behind the big palm grove, there are no big signs to the beach, and in the Internet almost does not meet any particularly enthusiastic about him reviews. And Chao Pao, with all this, deserves at least one day to visit and sealer, than I at one time, with pleasure and engaged.

The first line of Chao Pao is occupied by resorts, whose clients and are almost the only visitors to the beach. Awesome the lack of humanity of the beach, combined with tropical tranquility, the small but beautiful sea and the pirate bar at the rocks create very soulful atmosphere. Clean sand, palm trees, smooth entrance to the sea, without stones, and all this is only yours. You can really get here or mistakenly turning the wrong place, or after careful study cards – only then will you find out that in this part of Phangan is a beach you didn’t even know about. More detailed description Beach with photos, see here.

Beach Had Chao Pao (Haad Chao Pao)

Haad Yao Beach

If you are allergic to compatriots, then I do not recommend Haad Yao as a place for long-term stay on vacation. It absolutely does not bother me, just according to my observations (and this is very subjective) on Haad Yao I very often heard Russian speech And this is not surprising – our people like to hang out for good beaches, and Haad Yao just from this category. Long, no broken bends, clean, well maintained, with a good tourist infrastructure and mass of services.

The sea, of course, in Panga is shallow, but incredibly beautiful, especially in sunny weather. A beach holiday on Haad Yao is suitable for those who do not need serious infrastructure, although in general there is everything you need, from shade to cocktails. You can come and savage, with his rug, the main thing is to look carefully at his feet, and if you a blue plastic pipe that leads from houses to the sea will fall – then choose a place away, and preferably upstream. Local features, not going anywhere. More detailed description Beach with photos, see here.

Haad Yao Beach

Haad Salad Beach

Haad Salad is considered one of the average beaches in Phangan. Medium meaning that in size, in terms of distance from goods civilization, in its infrastructure and appearance – Haad Salad is not outstanding. He is on the porch to the most (well, or one of the most popular) beach on the island – Mae Haadu, on the far, northwestern edge of Phangan, and takes no more half a kilometer of coastline. Infrastructure is basically the one which is offered by several resorts adjacent to the beach, i.e. there is still less civilization than on Haad Yao.

The beach itself has a standard Pangan set of characteristics: relative shallow water, fine light sand, small the number of palm trees on the shore, the clean entrance to the sea in the center of the beach, rocky bottom at the edges and crowded. The beach is quite famous and is not in the wilds, so people come here as if permanent residence, and travel from other beaches. More a detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Haad Salad Beach

Mae Haad Beach

Beach-tale, beach-joy and just a beautiful place for a beach recreation. One of the most famous, revered and visited beaches. Phangan, which enjoys unchanged popularity with tourists cameras and without. Its main feature is coastal the profile and the neighboring island with which Mae Haad connects the underwater sand spit. At low tide, the spit is exposed and guests of the island opens a stunning landscape like a movie – a path in the middle of the sea. AT in general, people like it very much and Mae Haad remains unchanged photo-model for the majority who visited Phangan. After the beach Malibu.

The infrastructure around Mae Haad is not particularly consistent with it. popularity, here is exactly the same as on Haad Yao and Haad Salad, There were no major entertainment and shopping venues. Hotels there are a couple of shops, cafes. Near the beach there are two large Attractions: Wang Sai Falls with adjacent natural Park and Bar 360. Mae Haad – a place quite populous during the day and in the season, while the prices of everything, in principle, the average for the hospital. More a detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Mae Haad Beach

Malibu Beach and Chaloklam Bay

One of the most famous and beloved tourist beaches of Phangan. I’m talking about Malibu, which is part of a large beach. Chaloklum on the northern edge of the island. You can drive here in a straight line from Thong Salah and thousands of tourists enjoy it. Beach really crowded, popular, chosen. He is from all sides already Photographed and described by bloggers of all stripes. But that Malibu worth it is a really cool tourist beach with great sea, clean shore, excellent infrastructure and service.

Malibu is in the left half of Chaloclam, slightly apart, in its own, separate corner of the coast. It is strikingly different. appearance from Pangan beaches: a large space with snow-white sand, beautiful garden with casuarine marbles, shoal with thrilling the color of the sea is a real bounty on the not-so-famous in the world the island. That is why it was called Malibu – it is great. More a detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Malibu Beach

Bottle Beach

The most northern and most inaccessible beach on this part islands. With all this, one of the most famous and popular among admirers of exotic and true island holidays. Bottle The beach is at the end of a difficult dirt road, which is twice cross the river (and you have to overcome them wade knee-deep). Only drivers can get here by car SUVs or scooters, with the passenger in some places will have to sit down. Well, or you can take a taxi-boat and get to the beach By sea, this is a way for cheaters.

Very beautiful, long beach, with fine and light sand, several resorts on the shore, the service and services of which beach infrastructure. Several bars and massage gazebos, rental kayaks and loungers throughout the beach – everything is here for the sky-free and tight seals. This rarely gets vagrants, therefore, the beach remains uncrowded even during the high season. A more detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Bottle Beach

Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach

Pearl of the east coast of Phangan. Basically, the whole east Islands can be considered a pearl for the fact that here it is difficult get there. There are more untouched lands and you can still Feel the atmosphere of the wild island. Uninhabited, not dug up construction equipment, with terrible roads in the jungle, this edge hides such nice beaches like Tong Nai Pan brothers. True, recently the road to these two beaches significantly improved and this led to an increase in the influx of independent tourists.

With all this, Tong Nai Pan Noah remains charming a place with a classic infrastructure of the beach-baby, although here a little more than a couple of bars and a massage parlor. Worth network convenience store, there are a number of pharmacies and Thai shops, many offers for tourists, from rental to tours to other regions of the kingdom. BUT the beach is a shady paradise. White sand, dense vegetation, lounge chairs, shallow water, infrequent waves, and the absolute absence of any kind coastal fortifications. The beach retains its natural beauty and this remembered forever. A more detailed description of the beach with See photos here.

Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach

Beach Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai (Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai)

And this beach is a neighbor of Tong Nai Pan Noah. They are approximately equal in sizes, but each has its own infrastructure and Nai Pan Noah has a slightly deeper sea that can be for someone criterion when choosing a beach on Phangan. Basically, if look straight, then they are within walking distance of each friend, but separated by a rather high hill. So moving between the beaches on foot is too tedious. Not even looking on the presence of relatively good roads between them.

Tong Nai Pan Yai Beach – wide, with a clean entrance, a good bright sand and under constant supervision of adjacent personnel resorts The place attracts with its authenticity and lack of high buildings or various kinds of coastal fortifications landowners are often and eagerly abusing, in an attempt to preserve from blurring the monstrously expensive land on the coast. More detailed Description of the beach with photos, see here.

Beach Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai (Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai)

Haad Rin Nok Beach

The same beach. Yes, yes, this is the same Haad Rin, where they pass original parties Full Moon Party. I emphasize “original” because the entertainment format has become quite popular, parties gather thousands of crowds, and the full moon happens only once a month. Therefore, throughout Phangan you can already count three or four clones created for the same purpose – собрать денег с пьяной молодёжи развлекать массовогоtourist. Haad Rin Nok among them was and remains the first, foremost and the most famous. All these buckets here with alcohol, specific music format and dancing non-stop until dawn is Haad Rin Nok

In the morning, the beach is licked clean after drunken battles, and Haad Rin Nok turns into a huge space, flat like a football field. Trees remained in isolated cases, the entire first line built up with bars and restaurants, there is no shadow at all. Shallow water is that at low tide the water runs off at 50-60 meters leaving you dense wet bottom, which you can walk on heels (I have not tried, but guess). Swimming here is really only at high tide. More detailed Description of the beach with photos, see here.

Haad Rin Nok Beach

Leela Beach

Not everyone likes Lila Beach from the first hit, so here It is strongly recommended to come only in good weather. The peculiarity of Haad Seekantang (this is the original toponym of the beach) is that along the coastline there are mangroves, between which you can hide from people and the sun or lie in hammock, and at high tide the beach is hidden under the water almost completely. Kupable, beautiful, wild, with a couple built-up wastelands and quite popular techno-bar.

Most of the coast is built up very simple bungalows, who blinded literally on the knee from the fact that the sea threw out on Coast. On the one hand, it looks unattractive, but on the other – the beach does not remain uninhabited, hippie savages always come here and just tired of hot water people. There are a couple of capital of resorts, a beautiful bridge on the rocks and a sunset horizon overlooking island of koh samui A more detailed description of the beach with photos see here.

Leela Beach

Had Rin Nai Beach

One of the two beaches of Had Rin, which are located on the southern tip of Phangan. Had Rin Nay is a long beach facing west and there are NOT the famous Full Moon Party. But there is a well-developed infrastructure with services for tourists and chain stores, a huge selection of different housing level, good roads, pier and rolling offices. Haad Rin Nye resort-technical beach rather than rave. Phangan considered an island of youth and fun, but all this applies to another Haad Rin.

The beach itself is a rather narrow strip of sand, which heats up at high water, in some places completely blocking foot passage along the sea. Local resorts are forced to somehow protect your property from the blur and here often come across beach areas that are mutilated by stone or concrete add-ins. It certainly helps, keeps the shore, but overwhelming damage to Haad Rin Naya. More detailed Description of the beach with photos, see here.

Had Rin Nai Beach

Ao Ban Thai Beach

The best option for those who are going to see a lot sunbathe a little and live autonomously, not in a hotel. Ban Tai is one of the longest beaches of Phangan with good infrastructure, in which even hypermarkets and world hospital are present level There is a lot of cheap housing, very convenient location. relative to key locations: piers, tourist infrastructure, road junctions. The beach has average characteristics, in my sight. It is pleasant to look at him, but he already wants to swim each.

On Ban Tae harsh shallow water, not the cleanest bottom, muddy water, a lot of wastelands, a lot of untidy areas where they roll deposits of marine debris. Again – this is one of the most eroded shores. In general, Ban Tai is not considered the best beach. Phangan in terms of beach holidays, the island has a lot more attractive and photogenic places. More detailed description of the beach with photos see here.

Ao Ban Thai Beach

Non main beaches

Ao Nai Wok Beach

Across the river from the town of Thong Sala (we are now from south to west moving, you remember, yes?) located a small beach-plunge pool Ao Nai Wok. I do not call him a frog that it is overgrown with algae or has a swampy shore, but for its shallow water and artificial lagoon that cause persistent association with a kind of beach, safe pen for children. The lagoon formed after expanding the mouth of the river, adapting it for use by small vessels, and heaps of soil were piled right there, on the shore. The result was L-shaped sand bar with an island on the end.

Spit closes a decent stretch of beach from the rest of the sea, forming a very calm and shallow backwater where you can walk to the kids. The coastline of Ao Nai Vok is a bastion fortifications, pretty disfiguring appearance of the beach. One side, Thais reliably protected concrete and stones from blurring the shore, and with the other – to me personally, he did not seem attractive. In general, the beach is more practical than entertaining. It is close to infrastructure Tong Saly, here are beautiful sunsets and a few simple Resorts on the first line. But cupola and attractiveness pumped up. For a more detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Ao Nai Wok Beach

Ao Plai Laem Beach

On Play Lam, I recommend going to those who are really looking for secret, not promoted and beautiful beaches of Phangan. He of course not without remarks, but still worthy of attention for its location and features A located Play Lam at the foot of the mountain, below under the main road of the island and therefore it is not visible from it, because of which is constantly out of sight of tourists. And thanks to this same foot, the beach is a broken line in which huge rocks, large rocks, small rocks alternate mangroves and patches of soft sand hidden from prying eyes.

The advantages of Play Lam include convenient proximity to infrastructure Tong Saly, poorly populated and cozy. Little people here because people do not know about this beach, but for those who know, on the coast is built very little housing. Because of the mountain, on the slope of which quite expensive and not so easy to build. So light sand and azure play is given only to the most inquisitive seekers. separation from civilization. Weather permitting is incredibly beautiful here, thanks to the light sand that reflects the sun’s rays under the water and highlights the sea below. A more detailed description of the beach with See photos here.

Ao Plai Laem Beach

Ao Hin Kong Beach

As in the case of Tong Sala, you can call Ao Hin Kong the beach only with a bunch of reservations. It is on the coast big enough bays, which was chosen by fishermen, and where these are based comrades, as a rule, is not pure. Thanks in part features of the profession, and to a greater extent – his mentality, fishing settlements in Thailand “delight” the eye deposits unfit gear, domestic garbage and marine organic matter that did not go to sale. Together with the fishermen settled small carrier companies that use the left edge of the beach with a pier for their own purposes.

The right edge of Ao Hin Kong is more suitable for life, therefore beach there are places that can surprise you. Not everywhere it is clean and well maintained, not all plots are suitable for swimming and often water can be cloudy. And he is small and does not brag about infrastructure, in in general, I would call it an extreme variant on Phangan, like Wok Tum, which is adjacent to hing Kong on the left. Wok Tum is a shortened and a more sinuous version of Hin Kong, where part of the little beaches-patches use tourists, and more or less spacious backwater got to those same fishermen. For a more detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Ao Hin Kong Beach

Haad Son Beach

Haad Son Beach, for which the local name is still fixed Secret Beach, that does not need translation – this is alive proof that a good secret place can become Good popular place. I envy those pioneering tourists who first came to Haad Saone and kept him in secret. Being the only living soul in such a beautiful place is emotions. for life But globalization and tourism are doing their dirty deed, but you get to visit populous, noisy, very young and happy Haad Son, how he has become now.

Finding it is no longer difficult (there are only two to the beach descent), either by the name of the hotel, or by a large number of bikes parked on the road. The bay is hidden by jungles and irregularities. relief, and Haad Son Beach itself is very short and now built up bungalow along the first line. Nearby there is a cult place – Koh Raham, with a bar and rocks from which they love to jump in Sea lovers to jump into the sea – it’s safe. Well, right there, under Rocks can often meet people with masks for underwater swimming, I did not see myself, but people who are keen on snorkeling say what is there to look at. A more detailed description of the beach with See photos here.

Haad Son Beach

Haad Kruad Beach

Haad Kruad beach refers to the small beaches, if so say – private, although the privacy of the beach in Thailand is a thing ambiguous and often dictated not by law and law, but by fact of construction of the resort, which is slightly less than fully blocking the passage to the sea. In the case of Haad Kruat, we have a loyal administration of the only resort on the beach that represents and its only infrastructure. This part of Phangan is still remains sparsely populated and even the access to the beach runs through open and empty spaces, with roads, but without houses.

The beach itself is very short and relatively comfortable. Here order is maintained, few people and it is mainly used guests of the adjacent resort. The infrastructure represents only one resort and its services. The sand, the bottom and the sea is not the most attractive on Phangan, although I met the beaches and more terrible. The main advantage of Haad Kruat is still his solitude, isolation, and it will fit perfectly for a couple of weeks separation from civilization, in the presence of a rented bike, in order to get out somewhere, if that. A more detailed description of the beach with See photos here.

Haad Kruad Beach

Ao Hin Ngam Beach (Ao Hin Ngam)

Very conditional beach, rather – a place where you could be beautiful beach, if instead of slippery boulders here was at least some sand and a couple of seedy palms. And essentially there is only a convenient descent to the sea – a concrete staircase with railing. And in the sea itself, you will not get here already – dangerous. In tide time can still try to swim with a mask over stones and snork around the beach, but at low tide there is nothing to do, except to contemplate, meditate or rest on the road from point A to point B. For a more detailed description of the beach with photos, see here.

Ao Hin Ngam Beach (Ao Hin Ngam)

Haad Khom Beach

Haad Khom Beach is also called Coconut Beach and it refers to small beaches, though with one small clarification – to small and good beaches. It is located on the edge of geography, actually in the end of the main island road that runs all along the western shore of Phangan and ends in the hills to the north. Beach hidden at the bottom of a fairly steep slope, behind the territory small bungalow resort. This resort is all Coconut Beach infrastructure, with the exception of one bar, which It is located three minutes north.

Haad Kom is cozy, green, with palm trees and swings, with good sand, not the most convenient entrance to the water and rocks at the edges. Minus Haad Khoma can be called his orientation to the north, so here you will not meet either dusk or dawn, but there is always a shadow. Haad Kom is chosen only by knowledgeable people who have either already entered here before, or on a tip familiar with the island. A place wonderful, secluded and uncrowded. More detailed description Beach with photos, see here.

Haad Khom Beach

Beach Wai Nam (Haad Wai Nam)

Vainam beach is located in a small secluded bay, and is a hundred-meter strip of sand. The place is very cozy, secluded, which, however, can be said about any beach on the east the coast of Phangan. Probably in beauty, I liked him almost most. Vainam is different from other colleagues in its small size, small population and lack of popularity in the internet. This is used by tourists who are not indifferent to silence and tropical pacification. Local gatherings sometimes gather here. strange people who communicate, play and listen to music. AT mostly these parties flow from neighboring Haad Tian and Haad Yuan during party time at Guise Bar and Eden Bar. More detailed description Beach with photos, see here.

Beach Wai Nam (Haad Wai Nam)

Haad Thian Beach

Haad Tien – is the average beach in the trinity of hermits on this edge Phangana: Wai Nam, Tian and Yuan. Haad Tien is known for his Guy’s Bar, which is considered a cult place and one of the most interesting viewpoints in the east. Come here on their own will only be able to the strongest, and by the sea – only the most generous, therefore Haad Tien discourages the average tourist by allowing the present Lovers of the wild way of life feel at home here. The beach is not very beautiful, but calm and uncrowded. More detailed Description of the beach with photos, see here.

Haad Thian Beach

Haad Yuan Beach

If you say about Haad Yuan in three words, then I would choose: rocks, sand and sea. Yes, he is exactly like that. Small size, beautiful, in his personal cove between the huge rocks on which people settled, built bungalows and cafes, and along the coast built bridges of bamboo. To come by car here is difficult to sail by boat is a little expensive, so either the most desperate, or the most curious. The rest of the beach population is connoisseurs of secluded recreation. Bonus to the sea and authenticity – techno parties in Eden and Gaise. A more detailed description of the beach with See photos here.

Haad Yuan Beach

Ban Kai Beach (Ao Baan Kai)

Ban Kai is one of the “melting” beaches in the south-west of Phangan. Under By melting, I mean excessive degradability of the shore due to sea waves. These beaches look beautiful in sunny weather, but each storm is blurred centimeters of shore for them, with which landowners are fighting hard. Therefore, Ban Kai thoroughly stuck with concrete rings. This beach is usually chosen by people who arrived not to seal, but to ride and study the terrain. From about the same goals that choose Ban Tai, which is a continuation of Ban Kai, well, or vice versa, as it is convenient for someone to count.

It is in convenient proximity to the Ban Tai and Tong hypermarkets. Sala, as well as to the Pangan Party Center – Haad Rin. Beside – main roads to the northern and eastern shores of the island. Yes and homes on Ban Kae cheaper, although the infrastructure is so-so, well, the beach also leaves much to be desired. Here you and small, and rocky bottom, but with no shadow at all, and sunsets from Ban Kai open really beautiful. More detailed description of the beach with photos see here.
