About Mae Haad Beach

In any list of Places to Visit in Koh Phangan, Mae Haad Beach is worth a mention. The beach is full of slightly coarse sand, so you can still walk around comfortably. This spot is generally very quiet and not full of too many people. So, if you want a relaxing time admiring the sea, this beach is a good choice.

There are food places and high-quality restaurants here, too. They serve traditional Thai food mainly with local ingredients and recipes. Besides that, you can rent sunbeds at the beach and sit there for the view.

To note, the water here is shallow, and you would have to pad carefully through it since sea urchins are common on this beach. Also, for the niche crowd interested in a nudist experience, you can go to the private nudist beach area as well.

Thong Nai Pan Noi And Thong Nai Pan Yai

Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai are twin coves that form a scenic double bay and are the most popular beaches in the east and sunrise side of the island. Both beaches are the image of paradise with softly curved white sand bays surrounded by mountains covered in rich tropical rainforest. The surrounding mountains make these beaches fairly inaccessible with a steep and rutted dirt road the only overland option. Activities: There is no coral reef on the east coast of the island, and it is possible to swim at both beaches all year round, though Thong Nai Pan Noi is the best as It has the deepest bay. There is little to see in the way of marine life, but there are some decent waves for body surfing. Thong Nai Pan Noi is the most popular of the two beaches with a bohemian vibe and has a small village with some quirky bars and restaurants. People get up early for sunrise as it’s breathtaking.
