Kayaking in Koh Phangan

Ideal for beginner water sports lovers, kayaking is a relaxed way to venture into Koh Phangan’s share of the Gulf of Thailand. While practically every beach on the island offers such tours, open-sea kayaking is extremely popular in Haad Rin, Bottle Beach, Salad Beach and Thong Nai Pan Yai. One can rent equipment and guides at 150 Baht per hour on the beach and its resorts. In Koh Ma and Haad Tien beaches, kayaking offers stunning limestone monoliths and palm-fringed shore views.

Khao Ra Hike

Settled at a startling elevation of 630 meters, Khao Ra is the highest point of Koh Phangan. The trail to Khao Ra involves a three-hour-long trek past jungles, a water reservoir, and cascading streams and offers clear markings and rewarding bird’s eye views of the island’s northern terrain, Thong Nai Pan Beach, and Chaloklum Bay. There are several waterfalls on the peak. January to May is the best time for hiking in Khao Ra.

Koh Ma

Connected to Mae Haad Beach by a shallow sandbar with colourful corals, Koh Ma is Koh Phangan’s only open beach. The waters are turquoise blue with great visibility, and the diving and snorkelling sites here are home to tiny fish and underwater flora. Visitors can rent an ethnic bamboo bungalow at the beach resort, enjoy sunbathing, yoga lessons and picnics at the beach, or trek up the mountainous jungles in the backdrop.

Slip N Fly Water Park

Slip N Fly Party Water Park is the largest theme park in Koh Phangan. Challenge the island’s steepest water slides and biggest swimming pools, including two 40-metre slides, bodyboarding slides, giant pails, water canons and more. For those who would rather stay off the water, Slip N Fly offers volleyball tournaments, gladiator jousting, and tug of war. There is also a food court offering signature cocktails, Western menus, and sun loungers.

Snorkeling in Koh Phangan

Snorkeling is a great way to get close to Koh Phangan’s biodiverse corals and wildlife without being intrusive. Koh Ma and Bottle Beach are the best beaches for snorkeling, offering low tide and walkable sandbars fringed with verdant reefs. As the water is shallow and clear blue, there is excellent visibility. In Mae Haad, Haad Salad, and Haad Khom, colorful fish and friendly stingrays can be spotted. Visitors can buy full snorkelling equipment and rent tour guides on the beach itself for just 500 Baht.
