Getting Around

Laem Thian
Laem Thian one of the most remote locations on the island, so you will pay extra to access this secluded beach. A longtail can cost up to 1,000B for one or two people and 500B each thereafter from Mae Haad. A songtheaw on the treacherous dirt road typically costs 300-400B for one or two people and 150-200B each after two.

Ao Tanote
A songtheaw to Tanote Bay from Mae Haad should cost around 300B for the first two passengers and then 150B each thereafter. Special taxis provided at certain times by some resorts on Tanote Bay offer discounted rates (80-100B/person) to and from Mae Haad or Haad Sairee. A longtail from Mae Haad will cost 800B for one or two and then 400B/person.

Ao Lang Khaay
Lang Khaay Bay is very isolated and the road leading here is in very sad shape, so expect to pay more to get here. Longtails don't like to go here because of the rocky approach, but if you can convince a driver to take you, expect to pay 800B for one or two people and 400B/person after the second. Songtheaws are a better deal, though no one likes to drive here either. Expect to pay around 300-400B for one or two people and 150-200B apiece thereafter.

Ao Hin Wong
A longtail to or from Mae Haad costs 800B for one or two people and then 400B/person. A songtheaw to Hin Wong will cost at least 300B for the first two people and then 150B/person after that.

Ao Leuk
In spite of its seclusion, this is one of the more easily accessible beaches on the east coast. A longtail from Mae Haad costs 800B for one or two people and 400B apiece after that. More reasonable are the songtheaws which charge 300B for the first two people and then 150B apiece.
