Ko Phangan Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Got up late. Went out at night with the Harmony lot. Dancing in the rain, watching the party, couldnt stop chatting and laughing, wandering around, got jumped on by a lady/boy, chilling untill morning on the beach when it was light. Weird clouds and a singular patch of light was all we got waiting for the sunrise. Stuart, Jackson, Vanessa and I ...

Alright boys and girls! (Sorry for the late update but it has been Thai New Year (Songkran) here (more about that on the next update) so it has been harder to get access to the internet!) Here's what we got up to last week (6 April-12 April) on Ko Pha-Ngan: Not much. (I'm tempted to leave it at that!) Ahem. Mainly we just chilled out at our beac...

Eric wrote to me on my facebook wall: "You're on an island in Thailand! Why are you on facebook?" Good question! I know I've blogged excessively. But, it's so surprisingly easy to be connected anywhere I go, and I know that if I don't blog about every few days, I'll forget things. PLUS, when I get to check my email, I get wonderful pieces of new...

I think by the time that we arrived in Ko Phangan - home of the notorious Full Moon Party that just happened to coincide with our visit - we knew what to expect. Our bus and boat combo from Bangkok was hardly the most relaxing experience. First, the 7 hour night bus was filled with shrieking, over-excited Brits with cringe-a-second comments and ...

Friends of friends...it's so great when you know someone, who knows someone, who lives where you're visiting and offers to show you around and crash at theirs. Don is a friend of Marion and when I arrived in Koh Phangan I called him. His English is basic and communicating over the phone was a little difficult. I wasn't sure if he'd ever find me....

We are now on Koh Phangan! We arrived yesterday afternoon via ferry and the area we are staying is awesome. Its super relaxed, the roads are made of sand, and everything is supercheap! Even cheaper than Samui. We stayed in a brutal bungalow last night though, and upon waking up this morning, we immediately packed up our giant backpacks and found...

Well, so much for chilling in a Hammock for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've walked, we did some snorkelling around the bay we're staying at and it was soooooo cool, loved it, and on the night, went to a seafood restaurant, ordered Bar B Q'd Squid, and i reckon i got about twenty of the things, good job i love them, and only costing about two pounds, it w...

We've moved up in the world I tells ye. We've moved on from a ferry to a catamaran. At least it didn't go up in smoke this time! Flew over in no time to the island of Ko PhaNgan. There was a kid at the pier, no more than 3 or 4 with his dad, pointing at people as they passed, saying with a dropped eyebrow and funny face 'Eh, where u go'?? Man th...

Friday 11th August '06 (Diary) '...Finally left Langkawi, very much a relaxing week and a bit - may have gone a bit over budget with accommodation and eating. Plan is to try to get to Ko Phangan and hopefully hook up with some old friends from England, it's one of the islands in the southern gulf of Thailand, neighbouring Ko Samu being the most ...
