Ko Phangan Ranches - Reviews and Rates

Crikey, well when i first rolled up, tired as hell from an overnight bus from the southern terminal in bangkok, to be sheparded onto a ferry that lurched its way over to the island itself, the island seemed like less than bliss. Id spent the entire night trying to look at the moon as the bus weaved its way up and around and down the major highwa...

We arrived at our previously booked hotel on the island of Koh Phangan at nearly 5:30 p.m. on the night of the Full Moon Party. Haad Rin, the home of the beach where the Full Moon party is located, is solely dedicated to catering to the whims of the thousands of young tourists that flock here each month for party, a great majority of which are I...

The first time round at Bounty Resort it was a backpackers resort due to the Full Moon Party, but this time, with no party, I found that it was a very quiet family resort... which suited me fine! As on Ko Tao, I took it easy mainly, venturing round the island via motorbike or snorkelling every now and then. I chilled out so hard that I broke the...

Hi guys

I know, I know the blog is extremely neglected these days but honestly there's not much to put up here. There's nothing very interesting about going to the beach and going out drinking! The day before yesterday we lerft Ko Samui. We had planned on going to Ko Tao so Lucy could do a diving course there for 3 days but we missed the ...

By the next day, I hadn't eaten anywhere near enough what I needed to for about a week and had drunk more alcohol in seven days than I ever have before. By the time I went to the shop for food, I felt so weak I could barely walk. My hands were trembling so much I couldn't even hold the receipt still to show the cashier he had overcharged me. Aft...

4/8/09 After breakfast we decided to venture down the path we had seen the day before. After a pretty tough downhill trek, over bushes and brambles and a ant hill we reached a very small secluded beach, it was basically about big enough to hold about 10 people. We stretched out and I caught some sun while Jessie laid in the shade. We read and wa...

Well, after getting sick of the weather, the smell, and the generally shittiness of Ko Samui i headed out to Ko Phangan, hoping that it'd be better. Early signs weren't good, the crossing over on the ferry was incredibly rough, the ferry getting tossed around and everyone struggling to keep balance, nearly going over the side (it only had open t...

Day 35. FATE took me here 19/5/08 On the morning ferry to Koa Phang Gan I could see the lady-boys joining the crowd for the parties to come. Some guy will be in luck, but it wont be me! I was so pleased to arrive at the LoyFa Bungalows. Although out of the action it was set in a lovely location. My wooden bungalow balcony faces West onto the gul...

From Chiang Mai we caught a day train to Bangkok, where we spent the night, then a night train the following day down to Surathani. Here we went with one of the agencies who took us by bus to the pier, then onto Ko Phangan by a very crammed boat. The train journey's weren't great as we couldn't get the times we wanted, so our expected arrival in...

This place is mint. Got here yesterday after a long coach and boat trip from Hui Hin. It's packed with young backpackers from all over the world. I met a Scottish kiddie called Scott as I got here and we are staying in a bungalow on the beach. It was easier than having a place each as it's the same price but with air con and hot (well warmish) w...
