Lonely Beach (Haad Thanam) is
approximately a 1 kilometre-long beautiful picture postcard
beach on Ko Chang. It is the northern part of Bai Lan Bay
(Aow Bai Lan), but due to its
popularity it is introduced on its own page. |

The beach is situated on the southern end
of the west coast, separated from Kai Bae Beach in the north
by a large wooded hill, while its southern border is the rest
of Bai Lan Bay.
The northern part of the beach consists of fine, white sand
while the southern section is stony. For many people Lonely
Beach is the most beautiful beach on the entire island. Especially
the north because the beach dips relatively steep into the
sea and there are no stones on the ground, so getting into
the water is easy. Also swimming at low tide isn’t a
problem there. |

In the village of Lonely Beach, which is beside the village of White Sand Beach the busiest on the entire island, you'll find
a lot of Thai and european restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, some supermarkets,
Internet Cafés and diving-schools. Also quite a lot of guesthouses and bungalow resorts are located along the road through the village. In the
resorts along the beach kajaks and motorbikes can be rented
to explore the beach or the island.
Coming from the north, one has a fantastic view from the road
over the entire beach down to the southern end of Bai Lan
Bay. (See 'What
to do on Ko Chang?', 'Viewpoints
on Ko Chang' and on the right
panorama picture). |
Arrival & Departure:
Lonely Beach can be reached from the piers in approximately
1 hour by taxi. If you have advanced bookings you should tell
the taxi driver the name of the resort or the hotel.
The departure times of the taxis to Dan-Kao-Pier are subject
to seasonal change, so check in advance at your resort or
in a travel agency.
