Sitting on a three-hour boat ride from the mainland, Koh Phangan is the last unspoiled island of no greater size in Thailand. Unlike his sister, Koh Samui, in many ways. Where to Koh Samui is set, brash, Koh Phangan is left with a landscape. large property developers have started using this tropical paradise, most development is confined to discrete locations bungalow.
Koh Phangan is still a popular destination for backpackers and budgetThe travelers, known for its full moon party on the young travelers will see the island as one of the highlights of their trip in Thailand. The party is at the southern end of the island, in the town of Haad Rin, a hedonistic party city shops, winding streets to the gift wrapped side with bars, restaurants and bungalows to suit all budgets and especially the beautiful beach of Haad Rin Nok. At the time of full moon is full of crazy and Haad Rin AdvancedThe booking is recommended if you want to stay in this part of the island at this time of the month.
Moving north of Haad Rin, we next meet Ban Tai, which contains both the Half Moon Party, the Shiva Moon Party, two major events. Ban Tai is also the place where the "horny Mile, a stretch almost a mile long, which is populated by Lady bar on each side. These bars are much more relaxed than their counterparts in Bangkok and Pattaya, and seems to be afirm favorite with the tourists to arrive in middle age in Koh Phangan.
Thongsala Further north, the only real town on the island, an area full of Thai shops, bars and restaurants with western food markets, traditional at every turn to come. At night, the main market is an outdoor restaurant waited a couple of dozens of street vendors who set up tables and do their business. Some of the best food on Koh Phangan can be found after the sun goes down.Thongsala also houses the main ferry terminal for the island and forms a natural gateway to the continent.
Leave Thongsala behind and head further north you notice a drastic change in the speed of life, things are quiet here, only homes built with occasional small rural villages with local shops. Wok Tum villages and Hing Kong are particularly lazy, both wonderful places for someone looking for a long stay on the island.
Further up the coast roadHaad Yao and Haad find salad, both excellent dive sites with a reef in close easy access to dive into the sea, further north still to Mae Haad and the small island of Koh But sit easy to find a ford the sea of Koh Phangan. This has seen the premier snorkeling spots on the island, with sites in general only by divers.
Up on the northern tip of Koh Phangan related Chaloklam, a squid fishing village with a beautiful crescent beach. Shellfishhere is exceptional, taken directly from the sea every morning. At night, watching the lights, dozens of squid boats that ply the waters in this area, and then see them return with their catch and dry in the sun while eating breakfast in a restaurant on the beach.
Over on the west side of the 'island, see Tong Nai Pan, originally a solo backpacker community is now home of the largest developments in Koh Phangan. Luxury resorts provide the sunshineI believe that I agree that the west coast is the most beautiful island.
