Official pageLocal tips
- Beachub in Srithanu sells a 350 baht day pass, enough to test the wifi before paying 6,500 baht for a month.
- Agree on the songthaew fare before you get in, and expect higher prices around the Full Moon Party.
- Avoid the dirt roads to Thong Nai Pan and Bottle Beach after rain, when they turn to slick mud within minutes.
