In the place where is Khlong Thaan Sadet river enters the sea it divides the coast into two Thansadet beach and Haad Thong Reng beach, forming scenic double Bay. Despite the smaller size of these two beaches, picturesque Haad Thong Reng also boasts clear waters and a unique, rustic feel of an old beach Koh Phangan island. The swimming here is also comfortable, but charming beach is more quiet and scenic.
