Audio Guide of Tham Phang Beach

The beach is open 24 hours a day, as it is a public beach. To get there, take a ferry from Si Racha Pier (45 minutes, frequent departures from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, about 50 THB one way), then rent a motorbike or take a songthaew to the beach in the south of Ko Sichang. Check updated schedules at Ferry Si Racha.

Entry to the beach is completely free, like most public beaches in Thailand. You will only pay for the ferry (around 50–80 THB per trip) and local transport if you use it.

It is recommended to spend 1–2 hours enjoying the beach, swimming, and exploring the nearby Tham Phang caves. If you combine it with other attractions on the island, you can extend the visit to half a day.

Tham Phang Beach is known for its sea cave ('tham' means cave in Thai) and its peaceful white sand, forming part of the natural heritage of Ko Sichang, a historic island used as a royal retreat in the 19th century. It represents the relaxed charm of Thailand’s lesser-visited islands.

The best time is the dry season from November to April, with sunshine and little rain. Go early in the morning (8–11 AM) to avoid the strongest heat and enjoy calmer waters.

The main access is via dirt and rocky paths, not suitable for wheelchairs; there are also stairs leading to the cave. If you have reduced mobility, consider flatter beaches in the north of the island or ask local guides for assistance.

Nearby you will find the abandoned Royal Palace of Ko Sichang (10 minutes by motorbike), Haad Tham Supay Beach, and Chao Samran Shrine. Explore everything in a combined day trip; use Google Maps Ko Si Chang for routes.

Bring sunscreen, water, snacks, and water shoes because of the rocks; swim with caution due to currents. Rent a motorbike (200 THB/day) to get around freely and visit during the low season for more peace and quiet. Check the weather at Tourism Authority of Thailand.
