Koh Phangan Information:
The island is in the middle of a tropical paradise with a lot of coconut palms and green turquoise waters.
In the last 19 years, Koh Phan Gan attracted an growing number of holiday makers. Some of them somehow find their way back each holiday to the island. Who are those Island lovers? Actually, there is lot of reasons you could find to visit Koh Phangan. Even though it is tiny in geographical terms many types of tourists can explore their own favorite place on the island. In my opinion, you should really consider visiting Koh Phangan.
There are roads to Had Rin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest condition and unless you are a confident motorbike driver then do not try to get to HadRin, as most accidents involving scooters happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your scooter at the seven eleven at BaanTai and pay about 60 Baht for a pick up over the hills to Had Rin.
Phangan has as well a choice of luxury resorts , to name just a few as example B52 Beach Resort or Sarikantang Resort. Both of them offering high class service and a general high standard.
In recent times, Koh Phangan developed into a tourist holiday destination with visitors comming from every part of the earth to visit the place.
On the island many different things to make you busy. After sunset Koh Phangan has a active nightlife, everything from typical Karaoke bars, Pubs to real Clubs and bigger Night Clubs.
The first Full Moon started with a some foreigners having a beach party on the east side of Haad Rin in the late 80's. They enjoyed the party in the shining moonlight and more a more people turned up every full moon. Today there are a estimated number of 8000-16000 people who are having a good time and enjoying a party to hardcore, disco, and other dance sound styles.Skilled DJ's deliver the music from the beach bars at the east side of Haad Rin and from the whole bay.
The weather condition in the Kingdom of Thailand is very tropic, high temperature and damp. Most of the time weather season are caused by monsoons which create 3 seasons in Northern and Central Siam and two contrasting seasons in south-central part of the Kingdom of Thailand. Monsoon in the southern areas approx May to Oct is rainy and cloudy, the northeast monsoon approx Nov to March is almost waterless and comparatively cool.
For a accommodation at a quite beach, please have a look at Haad Tien a isolated beach, just 1 resort.
If it's boring for you to laying on one of the beach try out something new. Koh Phangan offers some activities like wake boarding, ATV Rentals, Elephant Riding, Mountain Treking, Snorkeling, Thaiboxing, Yoga,a Chinese Temple and Thai Cooking Lessons.
For some of the travelers who find Kho Samuia bit too expensive or a bit too much like a big city with not much nature left, Phangan can be the best place to chill & relax in the Kingdom of Thailand.
Maipenrai is'nt only a translation of 'no problem' in Thailand, Maipenrai is as well the name of a very recommended place on the north side of the island. Koh Panghan has unnumbered undeveloped beaches and waterfalls, some are only reachable by trekking over jungle paths or by hiring a taxi boat.
The southeast part of Kho Phangan is the main party area which includes HadRin and the full moon party beach. Nearly all of the area around Had Rin is mountainious making most of the fantastic white beaches unaccessable by road, the only way to get to them is by long tail boat from HaadRin.
Even Pha-ngan was first explored by backpacking hippies a mere twentyfive years ago, Koh Phangan was already inhabited for more than 2000 years ago by sea gypsies originating from the area today called malaysia. The area was a few years later swarmed by Chinese migrants many of them originating from the province Hainan .
