There is about two kilometre mountain path from Had Khom that can be negotiated on foot, and some nutters have been said to have made it over on dirtbikes, though it is not advisable with very steep trails and boulders that can rip a hole in the chunkiest tyre, leaving you with a long walk back to civilisation with a hefty bike. Caution should also be taken when travelling this path on foot in wet weather.

The sea conditions change as you move further round towards the East coast of Koh Phangan and do not favour coral, thus the sea shelf starts to fall away quite steeply, making it possible to swim here all year round. Bottle Beach and Thong Nai Pan are favourites for low season visitors who want to swim, but don't mind missing out on the coral. It is also considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island due to its wide golden beach, the lush natural cove and the high mountains that surround it. Due to its Northerly location, neither sunset nor sunrise can be seen from this beach. This beach is perfect for people who want to get away from it all.
