The beach itself is not as big as Haad Yao to its north but it is a gently curved strip of blissful sand nonetheless. The beach is good for swimming and the outlook across the bay from your hillside bungalow will be one you will forever remember.
Located on Koh Phangan’s west coast, Haad Son is well placed for making visits to Thong Sala, Haad Rin and the rest of the beautiful beaches this island has to offer.
Staying on Haad Son beach
There are bungalows that you can stay at right down on the beach or up upon the hillside overlooking the bay. As with most beaches on Thailand’s islands you’ll have a good choice between budget, mid-range and exclusive depending on your taste and available funds.
Check out the video below to get a feel for the tranquility and charm of this beach. Having stayed here twice before, I find the calming music and imagery takes me right back.. I can almost feel that sand between my toes and sun on my back!
So there you have it, yet another stunning bay to visit or preferably stay on when you’re on Koh Phangan!
In summary, Haad Son beach would be a great choice if you want to be within reach of the island’s main attractions and like things a little less busy than some of the other, more developed beaches.
