Thong Nai Pan at Koh Phangan

This might be one of the most beautiful beaches of the island. The bay is split into two parts. Thong Nai Pan Noi is the smallest beach but with high end resorts and hotels, Thong Nai Pan Yai is the large beach with low to middle class accommodation. Many hotels have sea view bungalows and a terrace on the beach. In the morning you can enjoy the sunrise.

Dream land resort on the large beach offers fan and aircon rooms with good wifi connection and a large swimming pool with sea view! Only the food at the restaurant could be better. Rates start at 600 bht per night in low season. Another beautiful resort is longtail 

almost at the end of the bay. Very nice bungalows in a lush tropical garden.

The beach consist of fine sand and slowly descends into the ocean. Perfect for families with small kids. At the end of the bay it get rocky with large bolders rising out of the water. Climb on top of it for great views and some crab watching.

Dinner on the beach is available at almost every resort with fresh seafood presented everywhere. About 200 meters inland you can find the main road with a 7-11, some small shops and a pharmacist. In between dream land resort and the main road you find Wisit restaurant. 

The owner is a Thai/American and offers the best burgers and pizza’s in town. He also rents out 2 houses for a decent price.

Location: Thailand
