Haad Yao

Haad Yao is a beautiful beach located on the northwest coast of Koh Phangan Island, Thailand. A mile-long strip of white sand surrounded by granite rocks leads to a calm turquoise sea, creating the perfect place to relax.

The beach is famous for its breathtaking sunsets and excellent conditions for water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding. Although there is a lack of coral reefs in the immediate vicinity, one can take advantage of organized diving excursions to nearby islands.

Along the beach there are restaurants serving delicious Thai cuisine, and a variety of accommodation options are available in the area, from cozy bungalows to luxury resorts.
