West Coast Beaches
From the main port town of Thong Sala, about a 10 minute drive along the west coast of Koh Phangan just past Laem Son Lake you will arrive at two wonderful beaches Haad Son and Ao Chao Phao.
Haad Son Beach
Haad Son Beach is a smaller more contained area that is ideal for snorkeling. The coral reef that stretches along the beach sustains an abundance of corals and marine life. The low-key atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the clear blue-green water.
Accommodation: If you are in Haad Son, visit the Haad Son Resort. One of the longest running resorts in the area that offers a full range of services, from simple fan rooms on the beach to Deluxe Rooms with a private pool. The casual atmosphere has made Haad Son Resort a superb choice for family holidays. Excellent food and stunning sunsets will make you want to stay forever. Haad Son has recently added a back up generator to ensure an uninterrupted power supply. For reservations call Tel: 077-349104.
Ao Chao Phao
Ao Chao Phao is another great beach along the west coast. Just a minute's drive from Laem Son Lake is Chao Phao beach with its small coves and bays that are great for exploring and swimming. Accommodation can be found at the newly constructed Sunset Cove Boutique Resort. Tel: 077-349211-2.
