Location & what to see
Than Sadet Beach is a stretch of Ko Pha-ngan's coast where sand, several waterfalls and a national park lie close together. Waterfalls, forest and sea all sit within a short distance of the resort, and the bungalows are set in that mix. The resort keeps an office in Thong Sala, the island's main town, from which its taxi shuttle runs.

Ao Thong Nai Pan Yai beach is 2.8 km from the resort, and the Wat Thong Nai Pan pagoda sits near it. The closest points are a short walk apart, while longer trips to the other beaches need a scooter or a taxi.
