Thong Nai Pan is the most popular and developed beach area on Koh Phangan island; and yet, at the same time, Thong Nai Pan's two beaches remain undoubtedly two of the finest beaches in Thailand. The setting is perfect: a sweeping double bay with calm clear waters and white sand beaches fringed with palms all set in an ampitheatre of lush green mountains strewn with huge granite bolders.

Thong Nai Pan has the three best hotels on Koh Phangan - Santhiya, Panviman and Anantara Rasananda. It also has the best year-round swimming beaches. Where once only intrepid backpackers made it up to the remote north-east of Koh Phangan to stay at either Thong Nai Pan Noi beach or Thong Nai Pan Yai beach, now backpackers, package tourists, honeymooners and long termers all come to enjoy the beautiful beach, laid back vibe and boutique ambience. The road between Than Sadet and Thong Nai Pan has now been completely concereted.

There is a great selection of accomodation on offer on Thong Nai Pan Noi beach and Thong Nai Pan Yai beach. For those interested in private villa rental, Sunrise Villa in Thong Nai Pan Noi is great value at 5,000 thb a night.
