List of Best Things to do in Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand

1. Bottle Beach

A very nice beach where you can still be relatively undisturbed even in the high season. The reason for this is that you cannot drive to the beach but have to walk about 1.5km because the steep path to it is in a catastrophic state. But if you have an enduro bike and some experience it can be done without any problems. White beach and turquoise water, Bottle Beach is always worth a visit.

2. Thong Nai Pan Noi

Thong Nai Pan Noi is located in a great bay in the northeast of Koh Phangan. This beach is beautiful and quiet, with a few resorts directly overlooking the beach and restaurants that offer service all day but with a romantic touch in the evening.

3. Salad Beach

5. Than Sadet Waterfall National Park

If you like waterfalls, you will definitely like it here. If you want to do a little sport, you can climb the adventurous path and look at the view from the viewpoint. But be sure to wear sturdy shoes, no flip-flops or the like. Here, one becomes very impressively aware of how beautiful this piece of earth called Koh Phangan is.

6. Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach

Very nice, wide, soft sandy beach. The water is relatively shallow so it’s suitable for small kids as well. There are also a few bars with shady spots. The water is wonderfully clear and without stones, you can go far into it. A great beach to relax and feel good.

7. The Secret Beach

A beautiful small tourist beach where you can swim even at low tide. The sand is white and the waters are turquoise green. It only has a few small beach restaurants. Such a nice little beach that will allow you, if you are equipped with shoes, mask & snorkel, to see lots of magnificent fish.

8. Haad Rin

This is where the full moon party takes place so expect the crowd during those times. But of course, aside from the famous parties that happen once a month, it is a very beautiful beach with white sand and frequent waves. Haad Rin Nok or sunrise beach, within walking distance from it, is the Haad Rin Nai or sunset beach. You can visit both at once.
