Ao Nai Wok

Just a quick walk over the bridge from Thong Sala, Ao Nai Wok is about the closest you could stay to Ko Pha Ngan's piers without being in town. A long bay extends north, lined with some decent sandy beach. There are some fine bungalow operators and resorts here, the best of which lie at the northern end. The sea is fairly shallow close to the beach, so swimming conditions are not great, especially in May to July when the tide is way out through most of the day. The sea shelf drops of after about 80 metres where the reef provides some decent snorkelling. Not the best or most popular beach on Ko Pha Ngan, the main benefit of staying in this area is to be close to the services of Thong Sala.

Thong Sala

The commercial and administrative capital of Ko Pha Ngan, Thong Sala is a constant bustle of taxi drivers, merchants and newly-arrived sun worshippers. The central produce and meat market are worth perusing and provide visitors with tasty fresh fruit and an authentic Thai experience, just follow your nose toward the fish smell. Most people only stay long enough here to catch a ride elsewhere after they negotiate the pier, but there are a few decent accommodations for those who need to be in town.
