Hin Kong is a beautiful stretch of beach in Koh Phangan; most of which remains undeveloped. Lush mangroves dot the coastline, and several Thai long-tail fishing boats are parked on the shore.

Tourists flock here to enjoy warm Thai hospitality and high-quality establishments such as restaurants and bars.
