Probably the most beautiful viewpoint on the island is located next to the beach of the same name, Bottle Beach. We recommend arriving by scooter. You can park it at the bottom of the path and hike up on foot. It takes about 20 minutes through forests and rocky terrain. At the top, you will reach a viewpoint consisting of gigantic rocks. It takes some courage and climbing skills to climb to the top, but the view is worth it! From here you have a fantastic view over the north coast of Koh Phangan.

The 2C Bar is located on the east coast of Koh Phangan - from here you have a wonderful view of the two bays Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai! The menu includes delicious smoothies, snacks, healthy salads and cocktails, which you can enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere with a panoramic view of the sea. Entry to the bar is free. Food and drinks cost around 200-300 THB per person. We were particularly fascinated by the view of the mountains, as this once again makes it clear how beautiful the landscape on Koh Phangan really is! Unfortunately, many mountainous regions are not accessible by scooter as there are only a few roads on the island, but you can still enjoy the view from this place!

At the southern tip of the island is Haad Rin Beach, which has two beaches to offer: Haad Rin Nok (Sunrise Beach) and Haad Rin Nai (Sunset Beach). The famous Full Moon Party takes place every month on Sunrise Beach. But it is also worth making a stop away from the party night. In the small streets you will find many shopping opportunities for souvenirs or clothing. On the beach there are numerous restaurants, beach bars and some water sports activities such as jet skiing. The beaches are generally very well maintained, clean and quiet during the day.

The Koh Ma peninsula is located in the north of Koh Phangan. It is connected to Mae Haad Beach by a strip of sand and can only be accessed at low tide. So be sure to pay attention to the tides if you plan to visit this place. There is not much to see on the island itself, but there is beautiful nature and plenty of shady spots. It's also worth taking snorkeling equipment with you. You can discover lots of colorful fish and coral reefs in the crystal-clear water! The peninsula is particularly popular in the evening at sunset.

Haad Sadet Beach is the perfect place for those who love peace and nature. The path to the beach leads through the Than Sadet National Park, which is why a maintenance fee of 100 baht per person must be paid. The bay is very idyllic and offers a dreamlike setting with large rocks, fine sand and turquoise water. Here you can relax during the day, swim, snorkel or spontaneously explore the national park. You might even come across the island's pigs, which roam peacefully in the forest or on the beach. There is also a small restaurant on site with delicious Thai food.

Thong Nai Pan Beach consists of two sister bays and is located on the east coast of Koh Phangan. The southern Pan Yai Beach is one of our favorite beaches on the island! Shallow water, fine long sandy beach and turquoise shallow sea. The place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and also offers a few beach bars and shady spots. You can go swimming, kayaking or jet skiing on site. The upper bay of Pan Noi is a little livelier, especially in high season. However, both places have their very own charm. If you prefer things a little quieter, the southern bay is the place for you. Tip: the nearby 2C Bar offers a super nice view of both beaches!

Pantip Market is a small but well-known market for authentic street food in the middle of Thong Sala, the capital of Koh Phangan. The prices are unbeatably cheap, on average you only pay 50~80 baht per meal, i.e. less than 2 euros. Here you can get Pad Thai, curry, soups, sushi, chicken skewers, pancakes or delicious fruit shakes straight to your hand. There is covered seating and toilets on site. Open daily from 6 pm to midnight.

Than Sadet National Park is located in the east of Koh Phangan, which you can explore for a fee of 100 baht (approx. 2.50 euros). It consists of dense jungle, large rock formations and clear rivers. The park is famous for the historic Than Sadet waterfall, which was once visited by King Rama V, who immortalized his inscriptions in the rock. Unfortunately, the waterfall is very dry, almost parched, especially in the high season - which is why bathing is not always possible. Nevertheless, the nature and the large rocks are very impressive. At the foot of the national park, you can visit Haad Sadet Beach.

Koh Raham Beach Club is a real insider tip and is located in the north between the beaches of Haad Son (Secret Beach) and Haad Yao. The ambience is unique and difficult to describe - you have to see it! The place has a pirate flair with handmade decorations, cozy hammocks and pure nature. You can arrive by scooter, on foot or even by jet ski. You can get freshly squeezed fruit juices, delicious seafood, sandwiches and more on site. Admission is free, but the prices for food & drinks are a little more expensive, on average you pay around 300 THB per person.

Hin Kong is located in the north-west of the island and is not very appealing at first glance. Only at low tide does this beach become a real highlight. As soon as the water recedes, a long walkable sandbank remains, where you can take a romantic stroll into the sunset. Dog owners also enjoy walking their dogs on the beach here. Locals, on the other hand, take the opportunity to collect a few mussels and crabs on the spot. There are several restaurants and beach bars on the shore with a perfect view of the sea.

The Amsterdam "Sunset" Bar is a real highlight that you should not miss. The bar offers a breathtaking view of the sea and the uninhabited island of Koh Tae Nai in the west of Koh Phangan. Here you can enjoy the sunset together with a cool cocktail. The bar is known for its relaxed atmosphere, chill-out music and attracts globetrotters from all over the world. The perfect place to end the day and experience the beauty of the island in the evening. Entrance fee: 100 THB (approx. 2.50 euros).
