Haad Tien beach

Haad Tien is a beach in the southeast of Phangan island, Thailand. The place is beautiful and rather secluded. Unfortunately, sand is coarse being more like unpleasant. Moreover, occasional rocky bottom areas are exposed during low tide. However, if it is not critical for you, the place is great. There are several hiking trails with scenic views. You can walk to viewpoints or to beaches of Haad Yuan and Haad Rin. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

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.
