Ko Phangan: 'Rain' Bow Bungalows!
This is a top pick! ... drunk on beer to pass the time!!!!! But by the evening everyone else followed suit and we bought a bottle of voddy!! All in all I did love where we stayed, and enjoyed my time on Koh Phangan....it would have been much better if the weather was good ...
Day 88, Pt.1: The Aftermath
This is a top pick! ... Beach on Ko Pha-Ngan. We boarded the dangerously crammed 7am ferry too tired to sleep and sailed back to our quiet Lamai Beach bungalow on Ko Samui. ---Vital Signs--- Travel Weariness = 90% Mood = In the Red Time Till Home = 2 Days Pad Thai = Sick Of ...
Living in isolation
This is a top pick! If my memory serves me correctly, I´m supposed to meet my new "family" bright and early at 11:30am near the Had Rin pier. I check out and return Limey after a heartfelt good bye spin, and after a short "disagreement" with the rental lady (what a ...
Sun.... Sea... Sand... Sandcastles
This is a top pick! "Pew, Pew, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub" -- Ecclesiastes, 2:17 I'm aware that I spent most of the last entry complaining about the Kho San road, and then the rest of it slagging off the Devil Wears Prada. All I can say in my ...
Beach Soccer Tournament
This is a top pick! I take off with three other "family" members and head towards Samui on a long tail boat. As we round the tip of Had Rin, I see the beach getting set up for a soccer tournament I had heard about a few days earlier. I consult the powers that be ...
Our room came with pets
This is a top pick! Its hard to keep a travel blog up to date. Every day so many things happen that you wish you could share with someone. Like yesterday So I've decided to just type up a few sections right from the pages of my journal to kind of get caught up. I've ...
Everything must come to an end... to Ko Pha Ngan!
This is a top pick! ... the pier just in time to hear that the 45-minute ferry had an hour delay was awesome. I don't want to leave Ko Tao and momentarily contemplate disregarding my plans and just chilling there for a few weeks, months, years. Ko Pha Ngan! ...
Hammock life
This is a top pick! ... I only got one mark, and I treasure it- my scooter-exhaust burn. This is the one true sign of people who have been to Koh Phangan, and we compare them with pride. In the last half of the week the endless blue turned grey, and we killed 3 successive days ...
We're 'very bad' in Haad Salad!
This is a top pick! ... the boats that pass in and out of the bay, which is a real shame but unfortunately not the first time we've seen it in Thailand. The funniest part of our 2 days there was when we passed an ultra-pricey resort with a fantastic pool. We were both hot and ...
"Salad Beach Resort"
This is a top pick! From the pier a 1 hour "fast ferry" to our next stop moving south, the island of Koh Pha-Ngan. Found a great resort from the people at the pier and took a taxi to "Salad Beach Resort" at Haad Salad ...
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 ...
Half Moon Festival
This is a top pick! ... moon shindig and exciting if not crazy... but the new gov´t has decided to take an even harder stance on drugs and has selected Ko Pha Ngan to start, so the music was shut down at 2 in the morning at which point everyone returned to the beach from the ...
I could get used to this...
This is a top pick! ... well maybe I could live here for a few years! I wake up to sunrise coming up over the distant horizon and realize that it would be easy for my family to come visit. I look to the right and see no one. We´re the only ones who ...
Time to hit the road again
This is a top pick! This last week has gone so fast I cannot believe we are finally escaping the clutches of Koh Tao!!!! We are packed (we'll almost)and make the long trek back to Bangkok tomorrow for the final time. We will spend two nights back on Koh San Road then fly ...
Oh where to start!!
This is a top pick! ... went to Bangkok to buy a new laptop because my other one is broken -thank god it's insured although we have lost a stack of photos from Thailand and all my music!!! We had some great photos of Koh Tao but have lost them all now and we haven't got round to ...
Week Twelve - Ko Phangan and Ko Tao
This is a top pick! ... Orr this weeks entry will have less guff from Peter. Up for last bit of sun for Nic and get transfer to catamaran to Ko Phangan at lunchtime. Have booked Long Beach Resort bungalow in North West of island - 600 baht per night. Cheapest room with fan ...
Riding a 4 wheel buggy thing
This is a top pick! So today we hired a 4 wheel buggy thing (ATV- Ben says it's called) and drove around parts of the island you just can't reach on our nackered old bike. I guess it's kind of like being on a rally bike race track on 4 wheels! I suppose the sensible thing ...
The only word to describe it :- CHAOS!
This is a top pick! ... get this ludicrusly priced cab and get stitched up - in more ways than one! So, to make us feel better and to defy Thailand we ceremoniously burnt a 20 bhat note! Kind of like burning your ex's belongings (not that i've done that) when the relationship ...
This is home for now
This is a top pick! I have managed to get some things of my old laptop so all is not lost.I wrote thisa while ago but figured i may as well put it on anyway: Now that my heart rate has returned to normal and I'm constantly breathing fresh air I thought I'd better let you ...
A Thousand Words
This is a top pick! ... fond farewell to a place we had spent the last three weeks doing almost nothing. As we got closer and closer, coming into Thailand again, the feeling of anticipation built at the back of my mind, and I got all excited - not quite giddy you understand, ...
Sam's Poem and our reply
This is a top pick! One of our friends left recently to head for Cambodia and sent us this poem cause he is missing life here on Koh Tao so we thought you might like to read it. We sent him one back to cheer hime up which is also below; enjoy. Sam's Poem I couldn't ...
Its not even a dot on the map
This is a top pick! The bus arrives with comfy seats, TV and DVD player so we settle down for the three hour drive ahead to Chumphon where we will then catch the 1pm Catamaran to Koh Tao which takes 1 ½ hours. We arrive and decide to stay at OK II bungalows; it's at the ...
Koh Phangan and Full Moon Beach
This is a top pick! I hadn't partied like this in a long, long time. It was like our college days again, and I had a blast with Manny and Josh. I know they loved the island too. And we met awesome people, which always makes for great travel experiences. We taught people the ...
keep on keepin' on...
This is a top pick! ... bus at 7am the next day to get to the port, where we caught a boat to the island we are sitting on now, koh phangan. this is the island that thousands flock to every month for the "full moon party" which is happening this thursday. although none of us ...
Vodka + Red Bull = Loss of Inhibitions
This is a top pick! ... ferry lurched into port, stuffed to the gills with tourists of every kind. It had come from Surat Thani on the mainland of Thailand, and we were relieved when half the passengers got off, allowing us to board. The remainder that were staying on for the ...
A long, long day
This is a top pick! ... bumpy and hair-raising as we bounce through the tiny 'town' and out into the centre of the island. This is the real Thailand, I reckon, not the polluted chaos of Bangkok. Men stand around on the side of the road, motorcycles hurtle past with way too many ...
A whale shark of a time in Thailand!
This is a top pick! Ay up! Going to jump straight into it ohhh yarr.... We left Bangkok for the infamous "islands" of Thailand and the infamous lush beaches and parties on said beaches. Before we left however we said goodbye to Mike (as mentioned in the last blog) ...
Ha I did it - Easy Divers part II
This is a top pick! Ha, I bet you thought I'd never get back in the water again (neither did I) but I did and I did it!!!!! I finally over came my fears and completed my Open Water Dives 3 & 4 so am now a fully fledged Open Water Diver. How so you may ask? Well I ...
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 ...
Things we take for granted!
This is a top pick! Things we take for granted: Sitting here on this beautiful tiny island when its 90 degrees makes me realize how lucky I am. I could just as easily be getting up on a cold and wet Monday morning spending the day stuck in an office I do not wish to be ...
