A Koh Phangan Beach Guide
Haad Rin
Located at the SE point of the island you find two beaches, Haad Rin sunset and Haad Rin Sunrise. Both these beaches are beautiful with fine white sand, crystal clear waters and a jungle backdrop. Haad Rin sunset is the quieter beach with shallow corals with Haad Rin sunrise being the more beautiful with many restaurants and bars.
Baan Tai
This beach offers great views of the sunset over the long stretches of white sands running from Thong Sala down to Baan Khai.
Haad Yao
Said to be one if the prettiest beaches on Koh Phangan with stretches of white sand and a good drop of for swimming. Both ends of the beach have good corals off the rocks. If you are looking for a postcard view this is the beach for you.
Haad Thien
Swimming here is only available in the high tidal season of Nov to Apr. This isolated beach is courser with a reef which is in swimming distance.
Thong Nai Pan
Only accessible by a jungle road or by boat, a double crescent bay with a gently sloping beach surrounded by swaying palms. This very laid back beach attracts many families as the beach is perfect for young children.
Chaloklum
When the tides are high in Dec to Mar Chaloklum provides good swimming in many parts of its two and a half Km beach. Beautiful stretches of beach can be found on either side of Ao Chaloklum.
