Koh Phangan is a tropical oasis of lush jungles, silvery waterfalls and charming temples. While all this is ideal to keep you busy during your holiday, there is one lure that makes Koh Phangan one of the best destinations in Thailand. And they are the amazing beaches of Koh Phangan; let's explore.
Haad Rin is popular because it plays host to the Full Moon parties for which Koh Phangan is synonymous. Haad Rin is therefore closely associated with this very touristy type of celebration. However, there is more to the beach than playing host to the Full Moon parties of Phangan. The beach on its own is a gorgeous oasis of sandy banks ideal for chilling and working on your tan, while the waters are warm and inviting perfect for swimming and playing. There are small coves scattered around the bay that makes up Haad Rin and you can explore them all via taxi boat, which adds to the excitement of it all because beach hopping is one of the best things to do on Koh Phangan.
This is a stunning beach that's located less than ten minutes from the village of Haad Rin. It is about half an hour from popular resorts such as Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas. This makes beach hopping easy, especially when you are staying at a beachside resort on Koh Phangan. Leela Beach is like a picture-perfect destination boasting sun-bleached white sand beaches, glassy waters and swaying palms that add shade to the area making Leela Beach the perfect chill spot that's easy to reach from your Koh Phangan resort.
This beach is another dreamy destination on the island offering plenty of holiday vibes. The water surrounding Haad Salad is crystal clear and the sands are powder soft. Plenty of shade is offered by swaying palms while laid-back little beach bars and cafes add to the holiday atmosphere of the place.
This beach is a quiet peaceful location that looks as though it belongs on a picture postcard. Haad Yuan is popular but it is also an uncrowded beach, which means you have plenty of spots to enjoy privacy and laidback vibes as you soak up the golden sunshine. Here too taxi boats are in operation giving you a chance to indulge in beach hopping as well as getting back to your beach hotel via sea.
An idyllic little oasis for chilling with friends and family, Haad Khuat, also called bottle beach, is similar to all the others and is a perfect destination for sun, sand and surf. You will find plenty of holiday vibes around this beach, which is highly conducive for swimming, excursions across the water and simply being a lazy beach bum in paradise.
