The Last of Koh Pha-Ngan
I think its important to say at this stage that we found our most luxurious accommodation thus far. The Bounty Resort. For a bargain price of 400 Baht, which is 6.30GBP per night, we were lavished with the cleanest rooms and surroundings since the ...
48 hours of solid travel later...
... net of south-east Asian humidity. We had to continue with another bus, coach and ferry to FINALLY get where we are now, Koh Pha Ngan. It's a beautiful island, we rented some mopeds and took them around for a bit the other day. We drove past some elephants ...
Island of the Full Moon
... round the island on the back of a motorbike, wind in my hair, it was yet another perfect day, topping off an excellent visit to Koh Pha-ngan. I was sad to have to leave, but I had a taxi picking me up at 20:00 to take me to the harbour for my ...
Full moon party
After a visit to the worst boarder crossing on the planet (although the cigarettes were laughably cheap) we were back in Bangkok for a few days, where we ran in to the auzzies from Siam Reap... managed to convince them and a random holiday rep to abandon ...

New Years Eve Full Moon Party 2010
New Years Eve and the ensuing Full Moon Party on famous Ko Pha Ngan is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. So many elements were in place, akin to the planets being aligned: It was the start of a new decade, it was a full ...
Shoplifting in Thailand
... getting off the train (7 hours) we had to take a 1 hour bus ride to the docks and then a 2 1/2 hour ferry ride to Koh Pha-Ngan. It was worth the trip. Beautiful beaches, clear water, great food, and half the price of anything in Bangkok. We are ...
Kicks Like a Thai Kickboxer
... had either. Had some Thai Rum (called Sangsom) mixed with Red Bull the other night. Pretty good stuff. Red Bull is very popular in Thailand and the highest price I have seen for it yet is 20 baht, or 50 cents, though I have seen it for as cheap as ...
Full Moon Party

Haad Yao -

Our first beach front bungalow
Greetings from the island! Finally made it here. Boat ride was short and pleasant. No barfing this time around. Quickly departed from the pier to a beach about mid-way up the western coast of this small island. Ne's first ride in a Thai 'songthaew,' ...
Chilling out

Koh Phangan
... big-screen on the beach. After a disappointing result we went home to bed. Monday morning we had planned to get a boat over to Koh Tao for a few days to unwind, but hearing the plans of the thousands of people leaving Phangan that day (all off to Koh ...
Our last beach for at least a month!!

Ko Phangan, So hot right now, Ko Phangan
... ferry was short, 45 minutes, lots of people, rickety, blah blah blah, general travelling details. Eventually we made it to koh pha ngan I had a tip off from a local that leela beach was a really nice beach, within walking distance to the full moon ...
Uughhh...
We had planned to avoid Koh Phangan but it wound up being our next stop after a group of friends we'd met asked us a long for the alternative 'Black Moon Party'. Despite the appeal of partying, and without the huge influx of teenagers who attend the ...

A rude awakening - Koh Pha-Ngan

Beach Front Property....
I have taken it down a full notch after a month of crazy back packing & got a place right on the beach on the sunny island of Ko Phangan. Where the most stressful situation in a day is deciding what bikini to wear. Fantastic! It's been an 8 day ...
Koh Pha-Ngan - Party Central
... ! Luckily, a girl we met in Bangkok (Olivia) saved us by bagging us and the Canadians rooms at her hostel - phew! Koh Pha-Ngan was fun, put simply. It's not especially beautiful - although the people are - every one was actually perfect (grr) - but ...
Full Moon Party
... walk from the main 'party beach', so it was quiet enough to sleep, but close enough to stumble home. While in Koh Pha Ngan, we saw everything fire... Fire shows, fire limbo (which I successfully completed!), fire rings to jump through, fire shows on a ...
Thank you for Being a Friend

Phanganstic
... wait for another bus, then 50 minutes to where the ferry leaves from, then another 2.5 hour ferry, which brought me to Koh Pha Ngan (pronounced something like "pawn gone" without the "Koh" because that just means "island." Phangan is one of three ...
A wet weekend washout!
... !) After what can only be described as an eventful crossing on catamaran from Koh Tao we reached the next island along, Koh Pha Ngan. The catamaran sailed into a thunderstorm & bounced around so much it nearly knocked you out of your seat! Getting ...
Koh Pha Ngan
Today I have left Lamai Beach and caught a ferry to Koh Pha Ngan with no plan of accommodation and no knowledge of the geography of this island... how unlike me! The ferry ride was a relatively short trip from Koh Samui and the usual touts (people ...
