Koh Pha Ngan
... to rain here again, think the monsoon season is hanging around a bit longer. Still humid though. We finally made it to Koh Pha Ngan after a journey and a half. Boat, bus, bus, bus, minivan, ferry and finally a taxi.... got a pretty good ...
Full Moon
... took 7 hours but worth it! From there it was time to start my 5 weeks on the beaches. First stop was Thong Sadet on Ko Pha Ngan. To get there I took the Sleeper Train from Bangkok to Suri Thani, and then a ferry to the island. On arrival I headed straight ...
Beach Bumming in Southern Thailand
... . No joking. Morning next, the V Man hopped on a bus/ferry combo. Destination: Ko Pha Ngan. Ko Pha Ngan is an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Excellent beaches and still a backpacker vibe. The bus trip was uneventful. The bus took us from Krabi to ...
People watching - Pt. I
... making their way toward drugs, alcohol, loud music, and ":til the sun comes up" kinds of parties--the anxious energy increased as Pha-Ngan came into view and I could just picture all these party-goers flowing off the boat and snagging the nearest Red-Bull ...
Drinking buckets in Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan
... room with 3 18 year old boys from England who by all accounts had never left there mums side and were finding Thailand a little overwhelming. Unbelievably, they actually managed to moan more than I did throughout the whole journey, and to our amusement, ...
Waterfalls and beach dancing fun!
So, we arrived on Koh Pha Ngan after a decent Songserm journey, with neither of us feeling sea sick, always a good thing. We quickly found a taxi and made it to our pre-booked Happy Beach bungalow, on the west coast, at Srithanu. Very small, with an ...
No, not for the full moon party
... but I opted for a ride to the other side of the island and a little more relaxed atmosphere. But first, I had to get to Ko Pha Ngan. Took a bus to Surat Thani, and then boarded the night boat (yes, the night boat) for a 6+ hour ride to ...
Ko Pha Ngan
... of us will finish off Thailand via the last island Ko Tao, then north to Chang Mai and maybe pop into Lao to say hi. Anyway, Ko Pha Ngan is tourist central, very resorty which isn't really my bag, but it's nice to lounge on the beach for a few days. We ...
Island hopping to Koh Pha Ngan
Next we found ourselves on a boat to Ko Pha Ngan (along with many others!), we checked into Chills in Sri Thanu, in the Northwest of the island. A quieter, less commercial area of the island. Our home here was a beautiful bungalow right on our own private ...
Koh Pha Ngan
... fut bref, mais vraiment plein d'activité (bon en fait juste une mais une grosse). Pour se rendre de Koh Tao à Koh Pha Ngan nous avions opté pour prendre à nouveau le Katamaran... Nous avions été prévenu que la traversée était relativement ...
Movieworld Koh Pha Ngan
... left. It has the highest proportion of non thais we have seen so far. We have also been eating a fantastic creation every morning in Pha Ngan. It's not really thai at all but you donot see it in NZ so that means it's quasi foreign. Fresh Banana or ...
The party island
... area of the island, where in reality, everyday is an all-night party. After our lukewarm diving experience in Koh Tao, we headed to Koh Pha Ngan to end our trip in style. Perhaps a few late nights of partying on the beach would help wean us from our love ...
Krabi - Koh Pha Ngan
We had no idea where we were going to stay the first night we in Koh Pha Ngan but when the boat docked at 9pm but thankfully fate gave us a helping hand and we ended up on the back of an open top staion wagon heading to Coconut Beach ...
Ban Tai - Tales of Emerald Ocean
... while we planned on a trip to the north of Thailand. There was talk of meeting up with Sarah, Emma and James later on. Koh Pha Ngan was a perfect two weeks. We left in high spirits, ready to see a different side of Thailand, maybe not so crazy as island ...
Tropical Island Breeze
... some bombing from Islamic groups in this area). I continued on to take an overnight boat to Ko Pha-Ngan, a great little island off the east coast of Thailand. The overnight boat was quite comfy, we all slept on huge mattresses on the floor. I decided ...
Koh Pha-Ngan
Koh Pha-Ngan; Arrived on the second of the three main islands today, and will be here for a few days before heading off to Koh Samui. The world famous beach party aptly titled "The Full Moon Party" happens here, where the beach can get a little ...
Home of the Full Moon Party
Kho Pha Ngan is world famous for it's Full Moon Party. It's one of the wildest party place on Earth. Just picture 10,000 people partying together on a beach. Absolutely anything you can imagine goes, absolutely anything... I was actually there for ...
Party V Paradise
We arrived on KPN on the 29th ready for the legendary Full Moon Party on the 2nd...but to be honest every night is like Full Moon! We did struggle to find somewhere to stay as it is sooo busy. After 2 hours of asking we found a room right ...
Dancing in the (Full) Moonlight
Koh Pha Ngan is known among backpackers as a party island as every month it hosts the infamous Full Moon Party on Haad Rin beach. We were no different from the hoards of other people on our boat heading over the night before July's party session - it was ...

Greetings from Kho Pha Ngan
... sightseeing wise so we have a couple of days of R&R and sunbathing planned - bliss! Last night we did a bit of shopping - Kho Pha Ngan is a little weird as you have to take your shoes off before you can go in almost any shop, restaurant or internet ...
Beach Bummin'
... , and even some eels and squid. All in all, it was an excellent day of diving. What more can I say about Koh Pha Ngan? Strangely enough, of the tourists in the area, a large contingency (50%?) is from Israel. There are signs in ...
It can't rain all the time.......
Similarly to Koh Phi Phi, we arrived in Koh Pangnan fairly late in the day at about 7pm. We wanted to stay in the quieter part of the island and had read we could get a taxi boat for 150 baht each. After finding the jetty to get the boat from, we ...
