Beach
Srithanu & the West Coast
The quiet side of Phangan: yoga shalas, vegan cafés and a coastline that faces the sunset.

This is why people stay for a month. The water is shallow and calm, the beach is long, and the whole strip runs on smoothie bowls and sunrise yoga rather than bucket bars.
How to visit it well
- The sunset at Zen Beach is a nightly gathering — join it.
- Rent a scooter; the coast road is hilly but short.
- Most cafés close by 9pm.
