Lasonya is a beach on the southeast coast of
Phangan island in Thailand. It's beautiful ashore. There are many picturesque palms, while entry into the water is comfortable. Unfortunately, the beach suffers from the problem of strong low tides. So you'll have to walk a lot to the depth. But at least sea bottom is sandy. It is worth to stay here for a couple of nights - no more. Shore and seabed: sand.

Hotels [edit]
Chantaramas Resort is a great four-star property with rooms' fares starting from US$60 per night. There are also few more budget hotels nearby - from US$20.
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.
