If you’re in Thong Nai Pan Beach for shopping you’ve gone to the wrong place. Koh Phangan is not the best shopping location in Thailand and Thong Nai Pan is at about the bottom of the shopping list on the island.
Sure, you’ll be able to get suntan lotion, beer, ice cream, beach toys, snacks and Rizlas but if you want a good choice of souvenirs, handicrafts, clothes and the like you’re going to have to face the slog over the hill to Thongsala, some 45 minutes away. In the meantime, chill out, spend your days on the beach nights in the restaurants and bars.
