BEACH
Hat Farang is known for its natural beauty, featuring soft sandy shores, turquoise waters, green hills, and a tranquil atmosphere. Hat Farang on Ko Muk is one of the better sunbathing and swimming beaches on the Andaman coast. This place has clear water, and a wide beach with fine golden sand: an amazing place to spend a few days.
The sea at Hat Farang is generally calm and safe for swimming. The gradual slope of the coastline provides a gentle entry into the sea, making it a suitable place to enjoy the water during both high and low tide. There are a lot of day-trippers from the area, which makes the beach feel a bit touristy. Still, the bay is large enough to get that TreasureBeaches feeling. Simply lounge on the beach beds and enjoy your lunch, snacks and drinks at one of the small restaurants.
WHERE TO STAY
All the stays near this beach are budget or mid-range options. Only 2 stays are directly on the beach: Long Beach Bungalows is on the best part of the beach and offers nice renovated bungalows. Kayao Bungalows (which only has a few very simple bungalows) is located on the hill next to the beach and is a lovely spot.
Most stays are not directly on the beach but are located along the road that goes to the other side of the island, depending on your choice of stay, a 5-10-minute walk. Mookies Bungalow, Koh Mook Bamboo Bungalows and Mountainview Guesthouse are good options, and have nicely kept gardens. For this, check the internet and to see which stay suits you best.
The stays have their own dining facilities. You will also find Mong Bar on the small hill on the south side of the beach. A nice place to enjoy the sweeping views during sunset over the beautiful bay!
