Ko Pha Ngan island - all beaches

This desolate and secluded beach may seem alluring, but the journey to get there is a hassle. You'll have to navigate a rickety wooden bridge and trek through a deserted bungalow resort. Despite being private property, visitors still flock to this beach for a dip in the water. Beware of the occasional naked sunbather. The beach itself is peaceful, but the sand is unremarkable and the water is only average in depth. Don't waste your time seeking out this lackluster destination.

We took a stroll to the beach, which was accessible by a waterfall. It was a really cool spot - peaceful and secluded, with no one else around.

Unfortunately, the iced coffee was too milky and overly sweet. It would be better if they asked the customer's preference. The chicken burger was decent, but there is definitely room for improvement. The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly.

The secluded beach looked beautiful in photos, but the reality was quite different. Surrounded by jungle and devoid of tourists, I was initially excited to visit. However, the journey to the beach was challenging, with no clear entrance and a difficult path through the jungle. Despite the 20 baht fee charged by locals, there was no clear entry point. Along the way, we encountered unfriendly monkeys who followed us for a while. After an hour of trekking, we finally reached the beach, which was empty but littered with plastic garbage washed ashore. Monkeys roamed the beach, making it necessary to keep belongings close. Swimming was not possible due to rocks, algae, and marine life in the water. We discovered ruins of a former hotel on the beach, now inhabited by monkeys. Unable to return by boat due to rocky shores, we had to make the journey back through the jungle once again.
