Location

Hotels in Thong Nai Pan

Buddha Raksa is in Thong Nai Pan Yai, on Koh Phangan’s north-east coast, where Thong Nai Pan Yai and Thong Nai Pan Noi form a pair of bays. Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach is 250 m away, and Wat Thong Nai Pan is 100 m from the resort. The hamlet of Baan Thong Nai Pan lies 450 m away. The surroundings have a village-and-beach character, away from the port setting of Thong Sala.

Koh Phangan has no airport, so arrivals reach the island by boat, usually through Thong Sala pier. Samui International Airport is 23.3 km away; piers at Bangrak and Maenam connect with ferry services to Thong Sala, with crossings of about 20–30 minutes. Shared songthaews travel from the pier towards Thong Nai Pan, and Buddha Raksa also offers a paid shuttle. The road to Thong Nai Pan is steep. Free public parking is available on site without a reservation.

Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach is 700 m away, while Thaan Sadet Beach is 3.1 km away and Bottle Beach is 3 km away. Than Sadet Waterfall is 2.9 km from the resort. The resort’s activity facilities include hiking, canoeing, fishing and snorkelling. February to April is generally the driest, calmest period on the Gulf coast; October to December brings the wettest weather and rougher seas along Koh Phangan’s east coast.
