Hat Thong Nai Pan Yai extends from the south end of Hat Thong Nai<br />
Pan Noi to the end of Tham Thong Rak. The beach is much longer and<br />
wider than Hat Thong Nai Pan Noi. With the length of 1,00 meters, this<br />
equally soft and white sand beach gives the visitors the same impression<br />
as Andaman beaches. Resorts queueing up along the shoreline reserve<br />
private paths down to the beach. However, there is a public path on the<br />
way toward Thong Nai Pan house of monks and Thong Nai Pan school.<br />
If you drive to the end of Hat Thong Nai Pan Yai, to Tham Thong Rak,<br />
there is an ideal view spot that overlooks both beaches. It has become<br />
one of tourist’s favourite landmarks.<br />
Traveling to Thong Nai Pan in the past was<br />
very difficult considering that it could be<br />
accessed only by four-wheel vehicles. The<br />
distance from Thong Sala is 20 kilometers<br />
and 17 kilometers from Ban Khai. Today,<br />
the road development from Ban Khai to Hat<br />
Thong Nai Pan has enabled any cars to travel<br />
more easily, leaving only a short distance of 4<br />
kilometers from the elephant camp to Than<br />
Sadet waterfall which is still a non-asphalt road.<br />
In rainy season, even on the paved roads, it is<br />
still inconvenient to commute, but it is hoped<br />
that the new road cutting will complete soon.<br />
