Looking out towards Koh Samui
Friday was our travelling day. We spent the whole day in transit to Koh Pha-Ngan - the party capital of Thailand - or so it seems. On the ferry we were approached by some Poms who were selling two tickets through to Koh Pha-Ngan. At first they were ...
Heaven On Earth & Whiskey Buckets!
... . We flew from Bangkok, a short hour long flight to Koh Samui, and then took a ferry over to Bottle Beach 1 resort on Koh Pha-ngan island. Cullen and Christine had pre-booked their place, and in fear of not finding them during the mayhem of the full moon ...
The Beach got it all wrong
... been to both Pha Ngan and Samui, i can Samui is more like that. I want to read the book again, but if Alex Garland dissed Koh Pha Ngan, then he is a fool. You may have guessed i love the place. Bar the full moon party, where it gets very busy, Haad Rin ...
Full Moon Party!!
... of the island as well but i think most people only go there for the Full Moon anyway. I had a great time (my kidneys didn't) but not sure if i would go again. Maybe if i am in Thailand again but i will be staying well clear of Mushroom Mountain for sure!! ...
5th November - Full Moon Party!
So having got back, i felt so relieved to have kept my bungalow as otherwise i would have ended up in a shed on stilts again. I didn't do anything for the rest of the saturday. I met up with Dan, got some dinner, went back to his bungalow to watch the ...
Captains Log... Koh Pha Ngan
Koh Pha Ngan is an island in the South East Gulf of Thailand. Famous for its full moon parties, Koh Pha Ngan is also a fantastic place to ease yourself into learning how to be a beach bum on its beautiful white sand, with plenty of opportunities to swim ...
Koh Pha Ngan
The end of an era!
... the pier at Bug Buddha on the north of the island. It was only a 30 min boat trip to Had Rin pier on Ko Pha Ngan and we quickly found a bargain at Coral Bungalows, a large backpacker resort with swimming pool, bar/restaurant, organised parties, movies ...

Home stretch
... and four guys tossing luggage around as a baggage conveyor. Quick taxi to the port at Big Buddha to wait for the ferry to Koh Pha Ngan. Drank like fish (water, that is) due to the heat, and saw a lot more of the typical "backpacker" people ...
Frohe Ostern zusammen!
Auch wenn hier auf Kho Pha Ngan, wo wir seit Dienstag sind, herzlich wenig von Ostern zu spueren ist, hat der Osterhase es trotzdem, extra fuer uns, bis hier her geschafft ! :) Wir erholen uns gerade von der legendaeren FullMoonParty, bevor es morgen ...
Fire, Fire!
For the last couple of days we have been living it up in a honeymoon resort paying a fraction of the price and we only had a few days left. In 2 days it would be the full moon party on the other side of the island in Haad Rin. We had already sorted ...
Motorbike, Fullmoon Party, ...

Firework Party
... Get back on the coach (last ones and late) and guess what 4 of the girls are eating….bloody KFC. Got the ferry to Koh Phangan and it really started to rain, which wasn’t the paradise island picture we had in our heads, but thought the weather ...
Jubiiiii Lars fandt noget....
Efter en aften og nat med total party, hvor Lars og jeg først sov kl. 04 - blev vi enige om at nu havde vi fået nok af Weingthai resort og vi ville gøre alt for at finde andet.... Det Skal lige siges, at Lars nok faldte i søvn en times tid ...
Turtle Island
... worldwide as one of the best, cheapest and most popular places to do diving courses (only Cairns churns out more qualifications each year), Koh Tao seemed like the natural place to... do a trapeeze course! What a laugh, it had never even occurred to ...
A little island holiday before time to head home
... post things have been a bit more chilled and a bit more hectic, all at the same time! Our final stop on the Thailand Experience was the island of Koh Phangan, but first we had to get there… the bus picked us up at 11 from Sangklaburi and we had a 5 ...
Koh Pha Ngan
... few nights of lazing about in hammocks and eating over-priced island food, we elected to high-tail it back to Bangkok. Koh Pha Ngan put the final touch on a perfect record of either being disappointed, or having trouble on tropical islands in Asia. ...
Full Moon Party
Full moon day - slept in for as long as we possibly could as we were heading into a long night. Booked our tickets for the long boat into Haad Rin - the beach where the party is held. As our beach was a fair distance it took probably about 30-40 min to ...
Full Moon Madness
Our ferry trip to Koh Phangan was a lot calmer! We got ferry to Thong Sala port and from there got a tuk tuk to party central! Had Rin Nok is where the full moon event happens on the beach so we wanted accommodation around there. We thought as it was low ...
Lazy days!!
... open by stepping on a bit of coral….luckily it was only a small cut but it wouldn’t stop bleeding and was quite deep. I was fortunate enough to have four days of glorious sunshine on Koh Phangan before making my way to the next ...
First calamity
... anywhere.The diving operations in Koh Tao have reached factory scale now and accommodation scarce so room rates are the highest in Thailand - the whole of Scandanavia seems to be learning to dive there. All of which made Jon quite keen to leave - ...
Ko Phagnan
We finally made it to Haad Yuan, a private little beach you can only get to by boat. It's quiet and beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and there's only a few little bungalow resorts on the beach (Michelle, great suggestion, we love Big Blue Bungalows!). ...
Still haven´t left the island
Ok so we were only supposed to stay on Koh Pha Ngan for 5 days, it seems like it´s going to be a little more than that. We have moved half way down the cliff to Silvercliff Bungalows which are run by a great Thai woman named Wow. Our days are currently ...
