Haad Chao Phao is a white sandy beach that stretches for half a kilometre on the west coast of Koh Phangan. The bay by any standards is underdeveloped which allows visitors that wonderful "desert island feel". The swimming here is excellent and the coral reef that stretches along the coast here from Haad Son to Sri Thanu is just offshore and within easy reach for most swimmers.

Just above Haad Chao Phao there are some excellent view points that offer a panoramic of the west coast.

Haad Chao Phao is one of the lesser known beaches on Koh Phangan offering beauty and relaxation.
