Much needed relaxation time
This is a top pick! ... two countries. Thailand is okay, I think that I've heard too much about it from others that my expectations were quite high. Thailand is very Western compared to the other countries that I visited in SEA and so much more expensive. I was in shock at the ...
2nd Island
This is a top pick! We caught a ferry over to Ko Phangnan to meet Dave who'd just flown in a few hours earlier. We took a taxi over some of the craziest roads you've ever seen. Steep, windy, dirt, and one lane. The taxi's we take are open backed utes with seats in them so ...
Full Moon Party!
This is a top pick! ... the staff member that I was fine, and to get lost. Anyhow, after the obligatory questions - 'where you from', 'how long you in Thailand', bla bla bla, this fellow proceeded to tell me his life story. I don't know why it is that people tend to do this, ...
What waterfall!
This is a top pick! Day 189; 16th July What waterfall! Start of the day looked a bit grumpy so decided to go and see one of the many waterfalls on the island, we chose one close to where we are staying, it was not really a waterfall more like a dirty stream over some rocks ...
The Hangover Part III

Full Moon Madness
This is a top pick! We made it to the islands. That in itself was an adventure. The trip involved an 8+ hour bus ride in a VIP bus. VIPs are big rolling double decker buses that are A/C'd (when it works)and very comfy (if the A/C works). Then it was a 3+ hour boat trip to ...
Catamaran
This is a top pick! ... not like there's another option and it was the same for everyone, and with that the rain came - that was our welcome to ko pha ngan! Along the way there was also the spider incident, to everyone's amusement - of course right near claires head, apparently ...

Oct 14 - Oct 20
Arrived in the town of Cheweng on Koh Sumai island on Sunday night after a an hour and a half flight form Bangkok, a two hour bus journey, a ferry for another hour and a half and then a minibus for an hour. It was well worth the effort, especially ...
Koh Phangan
... world's most popular backpackers' destination. I felt sure I wouldn't like somewhere so popular but I was completely mistaken. Koh Phangan is paradise! Absolutely beautiful, just how you'd hope to find a paradise island with blue skies, blue seas, white ...
Island Hopping
... the fish but gave it a go. We'll need some guinea pigs for when we get back to test our new culinary skills - any offers? Ko Phangan We didn't want to cover to much all ground in Asia but Ko Phangan was one place we couldn't wait to revisit, it ...
what a journey - what an arrival
... for around 21 hours via plane, bus, taxi and boat I finally arrived in paradise. I'm staying at the sanctuary resort on Ko Phangan - hammocks on the beach, golden sand, amazing sunrises, colonic irrigation......let me explain that last bit. Its part ...
Traveling takes FOREVER.
... . Thanks bitch! Ko Phi Phi was to a conservative adult paradise as Ko Phagnan was to a backpacker grungy paradise. Ko Phi Phi: Kenny G. Ko Phangan: Pearl Jam. My preference? Ko Phagnan is littered with tons of cute backpackers (mostly British and ...
Full moon party - ooo yeh!
Well ladies and gents, i decided after an excellant invitation to go the Full Moon Party on Ko Pha Ngan. Left Pattaya on the 2nd to go Bangkok for the evening and jumper on a 6.am flight to Samui, a short boat journey over to the island. After messing ...
Hangan on the Phangan
After Koh Tao we made our way over to Koh Phagnan which is typical for it's full moon parties. We don't care much for the party scene (and also weren't there for the full moon) so we spent our first 2 nights in a Bungalow overlooking the water on a ...

Koh Phangnan - The Ghost Town
We've arrived but well away from any full moon or new moon so this place is a bit dead. bars are closed and the beach is empty tonight. Sofia was here a few years ago for the full moon party and the beach was packed then. Now however ...
Es regnet und regnet
Unsere Reise von Malaysien fuehrte uns durch die stets etwas unruhigen suedlichen Provinzen von Thailand. Dies zeigt sich auch an der starken Polizei und Militaerpraesenz an der Autobahn. Leider war das Wetter in Thailand nicht so schoen wie in Malaysien ...
Full Moon party- day 2 -a day before the full moon

side step to the gulf
... in Samui and we sure didnt want to go there....far too expensive. We asked which Island they fancied, Tao, or Phangan. We hoofed it through Thailand back to Surratthani and tried in vein to get on the internet to check which Island they were heading off ...
Ko Phangan
We left Ko Tao on the 31st July, feeling a bit sad to say goodbye but headed off on the next part of our adventure to Ko Phangan, the island just south. After my experience on a boat last time, we made sure we booked on to a better one, and although still ...
10 days of silence
... in Bangkok. After doing the city scene, we were ready to slow down the pace and chose to do this on the island of Ko Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand. From Bangkok we flew to Ko Samui then took a boat to Ko Phangan right away. We had been to Ko Phangan ...
Lazy Days on Phan-gan
The rest of our time on Ko Phangan was fairly uneventful. We decided to skip out on Ko Samui to enjoy our beautiful beach and avoid the commercialism that everyone talks about when mentioning Samui. Our beach had 4 restuarants and 3 sets of bungalows. ...
