About Thong Sala

The main port town suits travellers who want easy transport and night markets over beach days.

Staying near the main pier means you are steps away from the Phantip night market and the shared songthaew taxis that leave the pier for Haad Rin or Srithanu. The streets around the pier are easy to walk. Choose this area for convenience and cheap street food, but skip it if you want to wake up on the sand.

Getting there
Walk from the main ferry pier or catch a shared songthaew.
Watch out for
Heavy scooter traffic and no immediate swimming beach.
