Koh Phangan
Travel Blogs from Koh Phangan, Thailand
Sun.... Sea... Sand... Sandcastles
This is a top pick! ... minutes to spare........ good times. Leaving the light on in our room and forgetting to return the key were only small victories. Koh Tao's great though. The pictures we've uploaded don't quite do it justice, because the sun went in and we couldn't ...
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 ...
The Beach
This is a top pick! ... some lovely pizzas at a nice Italian place. Saturday 29th May We left the lovely Koh Tao first thing and caught the ferry to Koh Phangan (prounounced Ko Panyang). It was a 3 hour boat journey and fortunately the water was like glass so I got to sit ...
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! ... -where, walked around the bar 'playing' a guitar until we were asked to leave! A good night all round then. Next stop in Koh Phangan was Haad Khuad, or 'Bottle Beach' - we moved here on the strict instructions of Kirsty n Kev who claimed the chicken ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sam's Poem and our reply
This is a top pick! ... 't always float. Now this has been written, I understand how, I wound up in Cambodia, missing my Koh Tao. _________________________________________________________ If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this poem. To find out ...
Its not even a dot on the map
This is a top pick! ... , 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 bottom of the island with huts ...
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! ... a new 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 ...
Vodka + Red Bull = Loss of Inhibitions
This is a top pick! ... suffered enough, whereupon they opened another couple of desks. We were only staying one night on Samui before catching a ferry to Koh Phangan the following morning for a week of relaxing and a night of debauchery at the legendary Full Moon Party. We ...
A long, long day
This is a top pick! ... with one solitary Kleenex for comfort, it would have been an act of courage, patience and dexterity. The final leg of the ride, Koh Phangan to Koh Tao is the choppiest. I have nothing left to give so I simply lie down on some of the indoor seats and ...
Ha I did it - Easy Divers part II
This is a top pick! ... try before we leave. Sophie and I met for breakfast at 11 o'clock in Zest (the best place for breakie if you are ever here on Koh Tao) and discussed how we are going to get me through this. The diving is not the problem I can do that bit; it's the ...
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 ...

Sunbathing, snorkelling and falling off bikes
This is a top pick! ... on the island were full due to the Tsunami and more travellers being over on the islands on this side of Thailand. After at the last minute deciding to go to Koh Pha-ngan and not Phi Phi, lady luck was again smiling on us, as at the second place we tried ...
1 week to go
This is a top pick! Today I bumped in to Averil and Sophie (they are both diving instructors) and we got talking. They are leaving to go to Borneo in a few days (Averil is originally from Borneo and Sophie is from Surrey) they have been together a couple of years. Anyway ...
Partying and paradise on Koh Pha-Ngan
This is a top pick! ... the best Christmas Eve I've ever had. . . . . most certainly the trippyest! After saying goodbye 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 ...
Ao Ton Sai & Koh Pha Ngan - Day 68
This is a top pick! Went to bed reasonably early last night for a change. Thought it would be sensible to hit the sack and get some sleep before the long trip today. I was up early to catch a longtail boat to Ao Nang this morning, had to get one by myself as nobody else ...
Koh Pha Ngan - Day 69-73
This is a top pick! ... plot with alcohol and probably other things. He's told the orchestra back in Minsk that he broke his leg and is staying in Thailand to recuperate. Complete nonsense of course. Anyway, as the day and night progressed we'd kept asking him to sing, but he ...
Under Pressure
This is a top pick! ... start and breakfast intrusion things where looking good with a beautiful clear blue sky and the first dive site out at one of Koh Tao's best, Chumphon Pinnacle around 11km north west of the island where we would be descending (me sinking) to 18m this ...
I Need A Holiday!
This is a top pick! ... even feel like you are travelling anymore, you can just kick back and enjoy the ride and the sun. Sadly though as we pulled towards Koh Phangnan we hit a storm, goodbye sun, it was fun for a little while at least. By the time we docked and I walked into ...
lets celebrate!!!!
This is a top pick! So last night we did a lot of celebrating. Ben is now a fully fledged Dive Master after completing his Snorkel Test with flying colours. The object is to drink a jug of god knows what through a snorkel with out spilling a drop. Elliot has signed him ...
Time is slipping away from us!
This is a top pick! ... hits their lips. I will try and add some photos but the connection here is not always good. We've lost a lot of photos from Thailand and here inparticular so we are going to hire a buggy thing with 4 wheels so we can get up and down some of the bad ...
Planet of the Apes
This is a top pick! ... that my once paradise has become) I have spent the better part of the last year trying to decide whether or not to return to Koh Phangan to see what has become of my favorite island. I've heard stories of what Had Rin and the full moon parties have ...
