Magnificent Beaches<br />

of Hat Yao and Hat Salat<br />

Hat Yao and Hat Salat are the two beaches where the sand is more beautiful<br />

and softer than other beaches on the west coast of <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong>. Hat Yao, in particular,<br />

is 1.5 kilometers long, lined up with large resorts and small bungalows along the<br />

beach where visitors can jog, play beach sports, and even lie in the sun. Outside the<br />

beaches, from Hat Chao <strong>Pha</strong>o to Hat Son, Hat Yao, Hat Salat, and Mae Hat, coral reefs<br />

spread over a vast area. There are several good spots for scuba diving to view coral<br />

reefs. This area is also a center for diving outfits and diving services for tourists wishing<br />

to snorkel along coral reefs. Hat Yao is also one of the best spots to watch the sunset.<br />

Every evening when the sky is clear, a number of tourists usually gather here to watch<br />

the sun gradually disappear.<br />
