Bottle Beach

One of the most beautiful and quiet beaches on Ko Pha Ngan, with dramatic rocky hills behind a sweep of white sand. Bottle Beach is traditionally one of the most isolated and least developed beaches on the island, but is now seeing the resorts on its pristine sands upgrading to hotel blocks and big cement bungalows. However, there are still a couple of really chilled back pack options, and it is still an utterly serene place to relax.

Haad Khom

Haad Khom's range of guesthouses is good, with options for most budgets. Most sit uphill rather than right on the beach, but a few are on the sand, and none are too far removed. Electricity is only provided from around 18:00 till midnight at most of the resorts.

West Chaloklum bay

The beach out here is muddy at low tide and is very sheltered due to the offshore retaining wall that was built to protect some of the fishing boats. On the up-side, tree cover along the beach provides welcome shade. This is a very quiet area and the resorts tend towards being very spacious and a little classier than those to the east — it's particularly popular among families with young children.

East Chaloklum bay

The further you go east, the better the beach gets with the best stretch in from of Fanta Resort. The bungalows vary significantly in quality, but there are plenty to choose from, and most are very reasonably priced and offer bungalows directly on the beach or very close to it. A good stretch of bungalows and bars right on this stretch provide some of Chaloklum's best dining option. This is also where you get the boat to Bottle Beach.
