Thong Nai Pan Noi And Thong Nai Pan Yai Overview
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. 

Location:  Koh Phangan

Among the best places to visit Koh Phangan, two notable mentions are Thong Nai Pan Yai and Thong Nai Pan Noi. The latter, in particular, is a wonderful spot to go to, especially for visitors in the mood for some swimming experience. Plus, there is a local village close to this spot as well. The ambiance is reminiscent of old-fashioned Phangan culture.

However, while this is a busier neighborhood, most visitors to this island find the Thong Nai Pan Yai place more charming to visit. This viewpoint is situated in the north-eastern part of the island and has the perfect view of the coastline. The lined palm trees add to the stunning experience here. Not to mention, the place itself has a calm environment.
