This Chinese temple has a rich history which dates back to 1990 where most of the island was without electricity. It was founded by Mrs Malawan who had a dream about the Chinese Goddess Guan Yin who advised her to establish a firelight on the island. You will find a statue of Guan Yin, a magnificent statue of a smiling buddha and many Taoist deities.
The small mountain temple is the oldest in Koh Phangan. One of the unique features are the eight Pagodas, each of them with a unique design.
Wat Chaloklum is located in the heart of Chaloklum village and stands out with its detailed carvings and Buddha statues.
Malibu Beach is one of the hidden gems and most beautiful beaches of Koh Phangan. Featuring crystal water, white sand and bright green round trees growing right in the sand.
Haad Yuan is famous for its tranquillity as it is more challenging to access. You can either hike there on a trail or by taking a taxi boat.
Haad Salso known as Secret Beach, is one of the newer Beaches of Koh Phangan right next to Koh Raham which is a beautifully decorated Bar which much love to every detail.
Mae Haad features a white and sandy beach. During low tide, you can walk on a small sand stripe to Koh Ma which is part of the marine park.
Thong Nai Pan area is split into two beaches whereas Noi means small. It is located on the quieter part of the island which makes it a perfect spot for relaxing your mind and soul.
Thong Nai Pan Yai is the larger one of the two beaches and is known for its tranquillity and breathtaking sunrises.
Haad Salad beach, also known as Coral beach, is famous for its beautiful white sand cove with blue and green water. Surrounded by plenty of Palm trees which give you the perfect hide from the sun during a hot day.
Haad Rin is the most famous beach all, and one of the busiest places in the island. Once a month it is the location of the iconic Full Moon Party, which draws in thousands of visitors.
Bottle beach viewpoint is by far the best viewpoint of Koh Phangan. You will get a magnificent view over Bottle beach and the pristine jungle. You can either get there by taxi boat or by bike. If you go by bike, park it at the parking spot as close down to the beach, as it is impossible to ride back with a motorbike. You can either walk down to the beach which takes around 15 minutes or call a 4WD taxi. From the beach it takes around 45 minutes by foot up the mountain and through the jungle to get to the viewpoint. We recommend wear shoes and don’t forget to take water, and your camera with you!
Amsterdam Bar is the most visited viewpoint bar of Koh Phangan. It is one of the best spots on the island to catch a memorable sunset overlooking the ocean.
360 Bar is a great spot to enjoy an amazing view during the day or sunset. It features a 360 degree view over the island. The road up there is quite steep so be careful going up there with a scooter. Due to recent times, the bar is not in the greatest condition but the view definitely makes it up.
Phaeng Waterfall is located in a jungle area of the Than Sadet National Park. Close by is also the Dom Sila viewpoint which is worth a visit as it is nearby.
We recommend going there to go during the wet season otherwise there is not much water running down.
Than Sadet Waterfall is the most scenic waterfall of the island. It is a cascading fall about 3 kilometers long with plenty of freshwater pools where you can cool down from the heat.
A small paradise island isolated in the gulf of Thailand. Koh Tao is located on the east side of the Surat Thani coastline, 30 min from Koh Phangan featuring iconic hill climbs to hill top views capturing Instagram’s best island vista.
