Beck's beach

Beck's is a beach in the south-west of Phangan island, Thailand. There are many picturesque palms ashore. So the spot is great to sunbathe. On the other hand, the swimming is not so good due to the shallow water. However, a little to the west, there is a good secluded beach without any problems. You can walk there during the low tide, or just get by kayak. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

In the hotels of Beck's beach, rooms' fares range from US$30 to US$200 per night. More expensive options are definitely better. So no surprise in this respect. However, even the cheapest options are still good enough.

How to get there [edit]

You may get from Bangkok to Phangan island by Lomprayah high-speed catamaran. But the best is to fly to Samui island, and next get by ferry from Maenam beach to Phangan island.

There are two options to fly from Bangkok to Samui:

1. Direct flight to Samui Airport (USM). This way is most convenient, but also the most expensive.

2. Fly to Surat Thani airport (URT) by AirAsia low-coster. Then get by taxi (1200 bahts) to Donsak Pier. Then get to Samui by any ferry (Raja ferry is the best, but other services are also good). It is the best value for money way of getting to Koh Samui, but takes a little longer time, as the road from Suratthani airport to Samui takes a few hours.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Pha-ngan island is a dry season from January to April, as well as second dry season from June to September.
