Getting there

Car

If you're driving, start from Thong Sala, the main town in Koh Phangan. Head north on Route 4171 towards Haad Yao. Continue for about 7 km until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left fork and continue for another 1 km until you see signs for Wat Phu Khao Noi. The temple is located at PXMR+M44, Ko Pha-ngan. There is parking available near the entrance.

Songthaew (Shared Taxi)

From Thong Sala, you can catch a Songthaew heading towards Haad Yuan or Chaloklum. Inform the driver that you want to go to Wat Phu Khao Noi. The ride will cost around 50-100 THB per person depending on your starting point. Ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest point to the temple. You might have to walk a short distance if they can't drop you off directly at the temple entrance.

Motorbike Rental

Rent a motorbike in Thong Sala for around 150-300 THB per day. Take Route 4171 heading north. Follow the same directions as for driving. This option gives you more flexibility to explore the area around the temple. Remember to wear a helmet and drive safely.

If you are staying nearby and prefer to walk, head towards the temple from your accommodation. Use a map or GPS on your phone to navigate to PXMR+M44. Depending on where you are, the walk can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Be prepared for some uneven terrain as you approach the temple.
