Getting There
-
Songthaew
From your accommodation in Koh Samui, locate a songthaew (a shared taxi truck) that travels to the ferry pier in Maenam. Inform the driver that you want to go to Koh Phangan. Once you arrive at the ferry pier, purchase a ticket for the ferry to Koh Phangan. The ferry ride will take approximately 30 minutes. Upon reaching Koh Phangan, take another songthaew from the Thong Sala pier to Chaloklum Beach. Make sure to let the driver know your destination; it should cost around 100-150 THB. Once you reach Chaloklum, walk towards the beach and ask locals for directions to The Secret Beach, which is a short hike away.
-
Ferry
If you’re already in Koh Samui, head to either the Maenam or Nathon ferry pier. Purchase a ticket for Koh Phangan and board the ferry. Once you arrive at Thong Sala on Koh Phangan, take a songthaew to Chaloklum Beach. After arriving at Chaloklum, ask locals for the way to The Secret Beach, as it requires a short trek from the main road to find the hidden location.
-
Private Boat
For a more private option, you can hire a long-tail boat from Koh Samui to take you directly to The Secret Beach on Koh Phangan. Head to the nearest beach with boat services, such as Bang Po or Maenam, and negotiate with a boat driver for a round trip. This method will allow you to enjoy the scenic views of the coast while getting dropped off closer to The Secret Beach. Make sure to arrange a pick-up time for your return journey.
