Bottle Beach

Bottle Beach, like other prominent beaches in Thailand, can get busy during peak tourist season, but for good reason. It's wild and gorgeous in its natural state. This beach, on the other hand, can be practically solitary and serene at times. Because most visitors come here for day vacations, staying overnight allows you to have the beach almost entirely to yourself in the early morning.

You can stay in a beach hut at Bottle Beach 1 Resort, but most guests stay on the island's east coast in full-service accommodations like Buri Rasa Koh Phangan or Panviman Resort and take a longtail boat to the beach. In between dips in the warm sea, small huts and shacks on the beach provide protection from the Thailand sun.
