CHALOKLUM

The beaches of Chaloklum and Haad Mae Haad are located on Koh Phangan’s northern shore. Chaloklum Beach is a 2.5-kilometer stretch of sand with a tiny hamlet and pier in the center. Along the adjacent beach, colorful long-tail fishing boats moor, while the main street is lined with Chinese-style wooden restaurants, residences, and shophouses. One of Koh Phangan’s most popular fishing spots is the pier. The neighboring mountains and hills provide wind protection, resulting in ideal wakeboarding conditions.

There are various bungalow enterprises in Mae Haad, as well as a couple of coastal resorts. At low tide, a sand bar connects the northern end of the beach to Koh Ma. Mae Haad’s character is calm, serene, and ambient, in contrast to Haad Rin’s brashness on the other side of Koh Phangan.

HAAD RIN

The monthly Full Moon Party has made Haad Rin the most well-known town on Koh Phangan. It’s undoubtedly the nicest town on the island for dedicated partygoers, although it can be disappointing for those looking for the’real’ Thailand.

Sunrise Beach and Sunset Beach, separated by a rocky promontory, are the two main beaches in Haad Rin. Between the beaches, there is a maze of streets dotted with pubs, restaurants, pharmacies, and modest beachwear shops. In the heat of the day, Haad Rin can become rather claustrophobic. With bars, pubs, and clubs pounding out music at night, the area actually comes alive.

THONG SALA

Thong Sala is a fantastic shopping location with a superb selection of eateries and a vibrant food market. The town serves as the administrative and financial hub of the island. It also houses Koh Phangan’s main port, which welcomes boats from Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

There are several bars that display Premier League football, as well as a full-fledged English pub. If you’re going to a beach on the west coast of the island, it’s definitely better to take a ferry to Thong Sala rather than Haad Rin.
