Secret is a small beach in the west of Phangan island, Thailand. The beach is beautiful and secluded, but probably too small. However, you can walk to the neighboring beaches, which are also very good and completely different in all respects. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.

Hotels [edit]
Near the Secret Beach, there are several hotels with rooms' fares ranging from US$60 to US$120 per night. The most famous of these are
Secret Beach Bungalows,
Bounty Resort and
Haadson Resort & Koh Raham. Everything is easy here: More expensive option is better as well.
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.
