Hat Khom

Ko Pha-Ngan


A short walk or scooter ride east of Ban Chalok Lam in the island's north, Hat Khom is a little-visited and desirable 500m length of sand. Water taxis shuttle between here and Hat Khuat (Bottle Beach) regularly and it is where most hikers returning from the Chalok Lam to Bottle Beach Trek are dropped off.
