Just a 5- to 10-minute boat ride off the coast of Koh Phangan lies Koh Tae Nai, a small, uninhabited, and pristine island that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and absolute tranquility. Despite its proximity to Tong Sala Port, the island remains relatively unknown and is only accessible by private boat or canoe, guaranteeing a peaceful atmosphere far removed from the tourist crowds. Its sandbar, small man-made lake, and natural rock arch make it a popular destination for kayaking trips in Koh Phangan, especially at sunset. A paradise for snorkeling and diving: Surrounded by coral reefs teeming with marine life, Koh Tae Nai is also an ideal place to explore the seabed, whether diving or snorkeling at the artificial reef. Caves and a natural swimming pool await discovery: The island boasts several impressive caves, perfect for a shady break and moments of relaxation. An artificial, emerald-green swimming pool, accessible via a long sandbar, offers a unique and picturesque bathing spot.

Koh Tae Nai is located 400 meters from Thong Sala Port, the main port of Koh Phangan. However, the most convenient way to reach the island is via the beach of Beck's Resort. There you will find longtail boats for hire or kayaks to take you there.

Koh Tae Nai is only accessible by sea. Although the island is not too far from the opposite beach, the kayak trip there and back requires a certain level of physical fitness, especially at high tide.
