Koh Phangan : Adventure and Activities : Kayaking

Kayaks are available for hire on most beaches for Bt100 to Bt150 per hour. The obvious precautions should be observed such as covering your skin from the hot sun, allowing enough time for long trips (sunset rides are not advised) and taking water to drink. Also be aware of the currents and tidal drift, it can be easy to go in one direction and very difficult to come back.

The west coast from Wok Tum to Koh Ma offers some of the calmest seas and best beach hopping possibilities though if the seas aren't choppy, pretty much anywhere is good. Other popular routes are between Thong Nai Pan and Haad Khuat (Bottle Beach) and also from Chaloklum to Haad Khuat; or from Haad Rin it is easily possible to make it around to Haad Khontee and further on to Haad Thian and Haad Yuan - but don't depart too late in the day.
