Ao Thong Nai Pan

I was staying there 4 years ago, came back 3 y ago, and today. Still a beautiful place, untouched. So peaceful and relaxing. Away from the crowned and party area. Only 1 cannabis shop in the center and not every 2 meters… so it’s good… City center is still the same with these authentic places 🥰

Beautiful beach surrounded by small resorts and restaurants. I was here in low season, so it wasn't many people on the beach. Smooth sand and blue clear water. Small street up from the beach with cosy restaurants and even a 7-eleven. Felt genuine.

One of my favorite swimming beaches on the entire island. Gets deep quickly and safe from boats running you over. Soft white sand and clean. Small town area for cheap food and drinks.

Awesome beach with relaxing atmosphere. We stayed at the Buri Rasa so had easy access to this beach. It's well maintained and super clean. The water stays shallow for quite a bit at a few places which makes it suitable for kids. Super soft white sand which is a joy for your feet. In burning sunny daylight the sand gets too hot to walk on though. They also put bags with sand in the water and onto the beach to avoid the beach washing away which does create somewhat weird elevations in the water. Nothing that prevents you from enjoying an awesome beach though. For the people staying at Buri Rasa there are free beds, free parasols, free towels, free kids toys, free paddle boards, free kajaks, free surfboards for the kids, free life jackets, free showers and free clean restrooms. Plus ice cold drinks are served to you on the beach. Awesome.

On april the sea can be there wavy. So we had 2 days red flagg and could not swim. It has the hotel restaurants and 3-4 other bars. But the typical thai beach bars is missing. Otherwise has the beach e great view.

Now that the road from Ban Tai to Thong Nai Pan (Yai and Noi) is all paved, this a relatively easy 40 min or so drive... It's quite hilly and lots of curves in the road... just take it slow~! Once in the Thong Nai Pan area, there are two beaches, both worth a visit... There is a variety of restaurants and bars at both beaches... During nice weather it is just stunning... clear water too. Obviously in not so good weather it's not going to be so nice! Many resorts to choose from.. with wide choice of rates.

We kept getting stung by jellyfish. It didn't hurt more annoying than anything. The beach is nice, secluded in a way. The water is nice and crystal clear.

This happened to be my favorite beach in ko pangan, go to the north and of this beach where the water is clean and deep there's a restaurant and a bar with reasonable prices, and a great view to look at the Bay, In the evening you can stroll down the beach and have dinner on the Sand, or any bar and restaurant down the street, Photos provided in profile.
