Thong Nai Pan

From Halal Explorer

Thong Nai Pan (or just TNP among backpackers) is an area on the northeastern tip of Ko Pha Ngan that includes the two beach resorts of Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi and Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai. They are maybe the most secluded yet developed beaches on the island.

Thong Nai Pan Halal Travel Guide

Yai means "large", and it's the larger and more developed of the two beaches. Noi means "small", and the beach here is about half the size of Yai. The two are a 15-minutes hike apart.

Travel as a Muslim to Thong Nai Pan

Road to Ao Thong Nai Pan - The road to Thong Nai Pan

From the island's harbour at Thong Sala and there will be one or more songthaews waiting, holding up signs with their destinations. Price is a fixed 300 Baht/person. Some taxis don't go to both beaches, so check for the Noi/Yai extension on their signs. As the beaches are less travelled and a long ride, sometimes you'll have to wait for the next boat to arrive, or even the boat after that, because the driver won't drive up and down for just 1 or 2 passengers. Once they do take off and the trip is about half an hour.

Since you've chosen this destination you're unlikely to be in a hurry. But if, for some reason you are and you are a little bit more adventurous and then catch a quick ride to the town (or even walk. From the harbour, take a left on the main street till the roundabout). Here you can rent a typical (Thai) 125 cc motorbike (~200 Baht/day) or a 4 x 4 for 700-1,000 Baht/day. It's about 15 kilometers and it will take you around 30-40 minutes to drive.

The road to Thong Nai Pan begins at Ban Tai village (on the primary street between Thong Sala and Haad Rin). The road from Ban Tai to Thong Nai Pan is 13.4 kilometers and about half of it is now paved. From the first mountain outside of Ban Tai to the Than Sadet turn off and the road is unpaved all the way and has some nasty hills with lots of dust and gravel. Once you get to the Than Sadet turn off and the road is concrete the rest of the way (7.5 kilometers) and much better. Care should still be taken as there are some deceptively sharp dusty corners. The improved road from the Than Sadet turn off to Thong Nai Pan has greatly reduced travelling times.

What to see in Thong Nai Pan

  • Try to catch a glimpse of the huge, harmless lizards that are unique to this area.
  • Older, mostly European men, wearing thongs, Speedos, or other skimpy bathing attire.

What to do in Thong Nai Pan

  • Walk to the waterfalls. Noi (more beautiful, but more strenuous) and Yai each have a waterfall. Ask local residents for directions.
  • Yoga classes at The Yoga Studio located on Yai, en route to Wang Thong Waterfall.
  • Get a private massage from Susie or Lee on Noi Beach.
  • Tanaporn Massage House | Professional massage and spa therapies in a beautiful (Thai) house and garden at reasonable prices.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Thong Nai Pan

There is really not much to buy here. There are, however, 3 ATMs within spitting distance of each other in the financial neighborhood of Thong Nai Pan Noi. Also in Thong Nai Pan Noi you'll find a pharmacy which also sells second-hand books. Don't expect much of it, but when you have decided to stay one extra week in this little paradise, it might come in handy.

Halal Restaurants in Thong Nai Pan

Fresh, deliciously steamed or grilled fish. Available at a few places, usually advertising the fish by having them on display on ice in front of the restaurant.
