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