Haad Salad is a small bay on the north-west coast, north of Haad Yao. The Tourism Authority of Thailand lists it among the west-coast beaches it recommends for sunsets.
Our two picks are both beachfront with pools. Salad Hut has the higher scores, 9.4 on Booking.com and 9.2 on Agoda, at around ฿4,900 a night. Green Papaya Beach Resort has the bigger sample and costs less, at around ฿3,240.
On average our picks here have the best wifi scores of any Phangan area. What there is not is a budget option: the cheapest room here costs more than the cheapest in any other area we cover.
