An island experience
(F) After a lengthy overnight bus and ferry ride where we were herded like cattle from one stop to the next, we arrived on Ko Phangan. We rented a scooter for our stay and cruised the island at our leisure.
It should be noted that there is no insurance in Thailand and we were zipping the streets of the largest party island of Thailand …
Bangkok to Koh Phangan
Leaving Mae Sai was especially tough as I took my last picture with the students in my class. Their fate is undecided due to lack of funding. These incredibly intelligent and driven kids were set to be the next generation of leaders on the anti-human trafficking front. To all of my students in the BYLTP (Border Youth Leadership Training Programme …
The Trek to Ko Phangan
Devolved of my teaching duties and after a year of hard work, it was finally time for a vacation. I met Bri at the airport and we headed to our hotel room. We dropped our packs and headed to Khao San Road so I could show her everything I had seen the previous night. We walked along the street, realized our hunger and stopped off at a hookah bar for …
Koh Phangan
After an disgustingly long bus journey and an equally draining boat trip, we reached Koh Phangan on the morning of the 9th. We'd had virtually no sleep on either journey, and so despite the stunning island scenery on display as we pulled into the pier, all we really wanted to do was find our hotel and go to bed! The island really is beautiful, …
Another day in paradise
... well: Jack fruit the size of a basketball, and the purple colored dragon fruit. And its convenient, they sell it on the beaches, pineapples and mangos, sliced it up in front of you with craftsmanship, and put it in a plastic bag with cocktail sticks.Currently we are on Ko Phangan, just exploring the Island on a scooter, enjoying again a sea view bungalow and the infinity pool. When the kite arrives, we will probably move towards Phuket.

“ The reception was real nice! ”
Reviewed May 14, 2011
They double/triple prices during full moon. had speakers blasting music immediately outside our door first two nights. Food was ok (overpriced). Beach was short, sand was coral and shell filled (not nice to walk on). I could go on

“ Weang Thai Resort = Tourist trap ”
Reviewed Jan 4, 2011
This resort on Koh Phangan is an absolute tourist trap. As soon as you check in, if they even have your room available, you are cornered by some nice Brits that try to push an expensive diving package on you. The resort doesn't take pictures of the actual rooms if you are looking at the cheapest ones. The water smelled like rust and there is no beach (due to the tides) for most of the day. Don't book online if you are coming during a one of the moon parties. They make it sound like everything is booked solid a month in advance, but they never are and you can find a cheap room just by looking around.
