Thong Nai Pan is a double bay surrounded by tree covered mountains. The two beaches are called Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai. They are both beautiful white sand beaches that are ideal for swimming all year round. The beaches are fringed with coconut palms and other trees. Thong Nai Pan Noi is considered the best beach in Koh Phangan, and one of the best beaches in Thailand.
