Ko Phangan Resorts - Reviews and Rates

cool beach with a load of bars and restaurants, where we just hung out and swam for a couple of days.

Up very early this morning to get the boat over to Koh Phangan and arrived at the retreat centre. Very peaceful with beautiful views. At the moment I am the only guest with a few volunteers so feeling a bit lonely today. Was given some fruit for breakfast and had tomatoes and cucumber for lunch (sorry to make you salivate!) First colonic this af...

After sight seeing around the cities and temples for a week, it was time to head back to the beach. Unfortunately, a day full of travel involving a tuk tuk ride, a plane, another plane, a taxi, a ferry ride, and a pick up truck ride followed a night of bar and club hopping in Siem Reap. We felt aweful all day but struggled through it to arrive s...

Paradise is just half of the equation, the other half being the people you share it with. Our migration from Hat Yao to Ban Tai on the south of Koh Pha Ngan seemed an easy choice and we slipped straight into the Emerald Ocean way of life the minute we arrived. Andy and John, the two ex-pat English guys who owned the place, made us feel instantly...

Scooted down to Ko Phangan via an overnight bus and a very very rough boat trip (sick bags at the ready, not a pretty site). Had another Mo reunion here with Kieran, Monks and eventually Ozzy. Stayed in this lovely little bay, a bit high class for us but we had the cheap seats so all was well. Weather was rubbish but we were only really there fo...

SO we have just spent the last 3 days relaxing around the hotel and by the beach. After all that travelling to get here ( about 30 hours) we feel like we deserve a little down time! Tough life I know!! We went around town to walk around and get some food on the first day we arrived and then yesterday just read books laying on the beach. We also ...

Ko Phangan... home of massive parties, hills motorbikes struggle to get up and possibly the worst beaches in the world... even England would struggle to make such a beach!! Okay to be fair it had one nice one... the rest were pretty ordinary... full of rocks, slimy sand and... just not what you would expect when in supposed paradise. We were tol...

If my memory serves me correctly, I´m supposed to meet my new "family" bright and early at 11:30am near the Had Rin pier. I check out and return Limey after a heartfelt good bye spin, and after a short "disagreement" with the rental lady (what a jerk she was!) I´m off to the pier. Changing dollars and getting less and less every time I exchange,...

Woke up late this morning on our super comfy bed, the waves having kept us in an extra long lullaby. After successfully retrieving our bags from the pier, we dumped them off in the bungalow and hit the beach. For some reason soup sounded good, so Carrie tried the French onion, and I had Tom Yum- killer version, just the way it should be. Oh, yea...

From Laos we flew back into Thailand, after arriving at Chang Mai airport we caught a taxi into the main backpacker area of town to try and find some accommodation. it felt a bit weird arriving back in Thailand as it felt very built up and Western compared to the countries that we have been traveling through over the last couple of weeks. As usu...
