Ko Pha Ngan
Travel Blogs from Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand
Raining D' and B'
This is a top pick! ... i was surprised at how far we were from hat rin (party town), especially as the roads in are especially hilly and very dangerous, ko phanan tattoo's, are the marks left by the many ferang who fall off there bikes every day, many drinking. we spent most ...
Waxing Gibbous (not quite Full Moon) Party Beach
This is a top pick! As I continue to island hop up the east coast of Thailand I found myself at Had Rin beach on Koh Pha-Ngan today. The transfer up from Koh Samui was painless enough; 10 minute/50B ride to Big Buddha Pier followed by a 1 hour/100B boat journey to Had Rin ...
Days 113-117
This is a top pick! I've lumped these five days together since we spent the whole time at the Haad Salad Resort in the North West of Ko Pha Ngan. However there's still a bit to tell you about. We upgraded our beach bungalow for a much posher hotel with swimming pool and ...
Finding Nemo
This is a top pick! ... the ocean.... Thursday 2nd September 2004 Off to Sail Rock, literally a rock in the middle of the ocean, about an hour from Kho Pha Ngan, which is a major attracting to divers - the coral, fish, and depth. 1st dive is 30 metres (you always do your ...
Day 112
This is a top pick! ... after boarding a tourist-laden catamaran. Karen and Jim were also on board but they would be heading to a different resort in Ko Pha Ngan. The reason there were so many tourists on board I believe was because of the famous Full Moon Party happening that ...
Happy New Year 2008 and Bad News
This is a top pick! Happy New Year from Koh Phangan Island over in the Gulf of Thailand...the part that didn't get crushed by the tsunami 3 years ago. Let's just say it right away... this was not a Thai cultural experience. Although the various "moon ...
Hippo takes over the world (well Asia anyway)
This is a top pick! Whilst we have been sunbathing and sightseeing in Singapore and Thailand we thought that Hippo had been sitting at the bungalow watching our stuff and sleeping, maybe even nipping out now and then but we didn't realise he would be starting his own little ...
Partying and paradise on Koh Pha-Ngan
This is a top pick! ... to Cambodia we went back to Thailand to meet our friend Andy in Bangkok. We decided to head straight to an island and chose Koh Pha-Ngan because of the forthcoming full moon party plus we thought it would be a cool place to spend Xmas. Koh Pha-Ngan is ...
Ao Ton Sai & Koh Pha Ngan - Day 68
This is a top pick! ... 2 boats, 2 taxis and 2 buses and used my legs occasionally. After 9 hours on the road I arrived on the island of Ko Pha Ngan. I'm staying in a bungalow on Hat Yao beach, which is on the west coast. It's not bad accommodation but I prefer my forest hut in ...
Koh Pha Ngan - Day 69-73
This is a top pick! ... doing and just listened. I know nothing about opera, but his voice is defiantly something special and he's destroying himself on Ko Pha Ngan. Don't think I've ever really been touched by a voice before like I have been this evening. Amazing! Day 70 - ...
Bad moon risin'
This is a top pick! ... in Laos was also great. Now we go to Kuala Lumpar to try and find a route to Indonesia, where once again we'll be putting some real travelling time and not just pretending to 'find ourselves' in Thailand (Oh, there were plenty of them at the party ...
Your life is a sham when you're in Koh Pha Ngan
This is a top pick! ... water. So after drying off my clothes and washing off my face I was on a night train to Surat Thani, the mainland town nearest Koh Pha Ngan. Because I bought the ticket last second I was on a train that not only got me in at the ungodly hour of 4:30 I ...
Hat Kuat - Bottle Beach
This is a top pick! ... where many games were decided by less than 5 points and 1 game by 1 point. Bottle Beach is an interesting fairly remote part of Pha Ngan. Down on the Smile side of the beach, there are expat residents that live there up to 10 months of the year. On ...
Planet of the Apes
This is a top pick! "You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!" (camera fades away to show Ray pounding the sand of Had Rin Beach revealing a glowing red sign on the hillside and the hell that my once paradise has become) I have spent the better part ...
New Years Burnout
This is a top pick! ... of Samui is at 3pm the next day, and I still have to get back to that island I've all but forgotten about on Koh Pha Ngan. I spend much of the day at headquarters, pulling together the threads of the night before, and purging as much of my possessions as ...
Ko Pha Ngan
This is a top pick! ... , more lounging and hammocking. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz. Expenses: Bike 150B, snacks 81B, accom 250B, food 928B Day 63 - 1st July Ko Pha Ngan has been steadily filling up all week, everyone trying to get here for tonights Full Moon Party. It's basically ...
Two sides of Ko Pha-Ngan
This is a top pick! ... to make our way home because the next day was going to just as big a party. Another event falling over our Thailand visit was that the Thai New Year also called Songkran. The holiday celebrated every year between the 13th - 15th April to ...
Lazin' away on the beach all day
This is a top pick! We haven't been writing much because we haven't been doing much for a while. We came to Ko Pha-ngan, a small island off the east coast of peninsular Thailand, in the gulf of Thailand. This island is known for being one of the last remaining backpackers' ...
Sand, sick, cold showers and no electricity
This is a top pick! ... we didnt really care as long as we could get a hot shower and a decent nights sleep. We left Haad Rin in Koh Pha Ngan on Thursday 12th September and had the bumpiest journey ever to Thong Nai Pan beach on the east coast where Janines friends were ...
Tidal wave in South Asia
This is a top pick! ... news and seeing the amount of confirmed dead go up and up we soon realised just how awful it was. We only decided to come to Koh Pha-Ngan at the last minute but could just as easily have decided to go to the islands in the west. Due to the fact that ...
The Beach
This is a top pick! ... or an airport on the island, and that should keep the more comfort-loving tourists on Samui. So much the better. Koh Pha Ngan was a completely different experience and hopefully it will always remain so. The good taste I had already seen on Samui was ...
Riding With A Demon
This is a top pick! I was somewhere off in the shadows, walking barefoot down the street from Game Bar, when the tea kicked in and I felt the first chest-swelling rush of the mushrooms. The beer and weed were long gone now, receding into the distance behind me like the ...
Ko Pha Ngan - Chilling on Bottle Beach
This is a top pick! ... called Hat Khuat - in English its Bottle Beach, we left Ko Tao on the high speed catamaran and arrived on the island of Ko Pha Ngan (pronounced in English Co Pan Nang!), upon arrival at the port we took a sawngthaew (basically a pick up where they cram ...
Long bus journeys and bad weather
This is a top pick! ... then were told we had to wait till 8am for another bus to come and get us to take us to the ferry. We eventually got to Koh Pha Ngan around 12:30 but I suppose you cant really complain for 400B. We were told that the main area of the island, Had Rin was ...
islands in the sun
This is a top pick! ... dragons teeth, creating a geographical landscape timeless in its form. Quite magickal, we can asure you. As our destination of Ko Pha-Ngan approaches, we organise onward transport to the far flung Bottle Beach, accessable only by longtail boat. We feel ...
monsoons and beach excursions
This is a top pick! ... ferry to Ko Tao. All in all it was exhausting but manageable aside from the lack of food or water. Ko Tao is the diving epicenter of Thailand and many resorts offer cheap resort rooms to those looking for SSI or PADI certification. We decided to just ...
Naked and Depraved on Thong Nai Pan
This is a top pick! ... * * * It's Keith who tells Jay and I about Thong Nai Pan Yai, a scary 40 minute truck ride from Hat Rin, Koh Pha Ngan's main tourist trap. He's spent weeks on this beach, and told us alluring stories of fun and debauchery. Keith's even got a bar here that ...
Party Central
This is a top pick! ... No matter, we were only on the bus for 3 hours before we were put onto another bigger, slower ferry from Suratthani to Ko Pha-Ngan where I met Morwenna, Claire and Lee on the deck. We all sat around for a bit, reading, chatting, taking tourist photos ...
