Bottle Beach

Bottle Beach (Hat Khuat) is a secluded sandy beach on the northern coast of Ko Pha Ngan in Surat Thani Province, Thailand. Enclosed by jungle-covered hills and accessible mainly by longtail boat or hiking trail, it is known for its white sand, clear turquoise water and quiet atmosphere away from the island's busier beaches. The beach hosts a small number of low-key resorts and restaurants.

Visitors can expect a quiet, crescent-shaped bay with soft white sand and clear shallow water framed by steep green hills and dense jungle. The beach is relatively undeveloped with a few small resorts, beach restaurants and bungalows. There is no direct road access; arrival is by longtail boat from Chaloklum or Haad Khom or via a jungle hiking trail. Areas to explore include the main beach, rocky headlands at either end suitable for snorkeling, and viewpoints along the trail.

The beach is traditionally known as Hat Khuat and became known to visitors as Bottle Beach due to the bottle-like shape of the bay; it has remained a low-development area compared to other beaches on Ko Pha Ngan
