Zen Beachเราเลือกมาให้ · When you feel like being around people
Bring something to sit on and arrive before sunset. Settle on the sand, listen if someone has brought an instrument, or just stay by the water.
Music is spontaneous, not a scheduled concert. Choose another shore if you want a quiet evening.
A small beach on Koh Phangan’s west coast, in Srithanu. Its hour is sunset: the neighbourhood gathers here in the evening, drums, acro yoga, slackline and sometimes fire appear on the sand, and the sun goes straight into the sea. Half an hour after it, the beach is still full.

Hin Kong Beachเราเลือกมาให้ · For a wide horizon and a long conversation
Boats, shallows and plenty of sky. Come for dinner by the shore or a walk; at low tide the sea leaves a broad stretch of sand.
Come for the light and the view. Hin Kong isn't a swimming choice at low tide.
A long, open bay on the west coast between Srithanu and Wok Tum: about two kilometres of narrow, yellowish sand. Palms lean over the water, and in places there are mangroves, replanted over the last few years. The bay's southern end is called Wok Tum, where the fishing boats are.

A sandbar links the shore to Koh Ma. Come if a towel on the sand isn't quite enough: watch the tide reshape the crossing and bring a mask for calm conditions.
The sandbar can be submerged. Keep off the coral; leave the mask in your bag when there are waves.
A beach in the north-west facing the islet of Koh Ma. A sandbar about 200 metres long joins them: at low tide people walk across, at high tide it goes under.

In Thong Sala, put dinner together from several stalls and meet without a reservation or a big plan. Everyone can choose their own food.
Phantip is a regular market. Saturday Walking Street is a separate outing, not the same market.
Thong Sala's main food market. It is open every day but comes alive towards evening, around five: rows of stalls in the yard and a covered hall with long shared tables next to them. Thai food (pad thai, som tam, curries, skewers, grilled fish, roti, mango sticky rice) sits alongside sushi, pizza, Israeli and Indian stalls. Fruit shakes everywhere.

An eastern bay beyond the hills is a reason to set aside a whole day. Arrive in the morning and leave time for lunch and a long walk by the water.
The road crosses the hills. Take a taxi if you're not a confident rider; this isn't a sea-sunset beach.

Wat Phu Khao NoiEvery guide calls it the island's oldest temple, and its white stupa is dated to the 15th century. The main stupa, about 10 metres tall, is ringed by eight smaller ones, with old ceramic bowls set into the masonry. The other buildings are newer.
Where to go for the sunset
Koh Phangan's sunsets are on its west coast, from Haad Rin to Haad Yao, and even there the sun does not go into the sea everywhere: at Ban Tai it sets along the shore, at Mae Haad behind a headland, and at Haad Salad into the sea in summer but behind the headland in winter.
Busy, with music. Zen Beach by Srithanu. Every evening a crowd gathers for the sunset: musicians, dancing, hula hoops, acro-yoga, and fire shows after dark. Nobody organises it; people just come.
From above. Above Plai Laem, between Nai Wok and Wok Tum, the AmStarDam and Top Rock bars sit on the slope. You can drive almost to the door of Amsterdam; Top Rock is a few hundred steps up, so there you earn your sunset.
On the sea floor. Hin Kong: at low tide the water draws back up to a kilometre, and people walk the flats at sunset.
Quiet. Nai Wok, next to Thong Sala, faces west, and for part of the year the sun goes down right behind the islet of Koh Tae Nai.
Each of these beaches' pages says when the sun sets today and whether the clouds will let it show: it reads the evening's cloud forecast.
