Review & FAQ:
One of the lesser known beaches of Koh Phangan, Wai Nam Beach is a small, peaceful spot a little off the beaten track in the east of the island. Accessed by boat from one of the neighboring beaches or by walking through the jungle, the beach boasts a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a hippy flair. The tiny bay is enclosed at both ends by impressive rocks, and the beach has coarse, light yellow sand, and unlike other beaches in Phangan, swimming in the nude is allowed here. Wai Nam Beach has simple bungalow sites for overnight stays, however, supermarkets and cash machines can only be reached by boat. The only restaurant at the beach offers exclusively vegetarian dishes with lots of nuts and seeds and vegan food, and yoga, meditation, and other workshops are often held here.
