Simmilar to it's sister island Koh Tao, Koh Phanganwas a while ago at the beginning visited by tourists looking for a sanctuary from the commercialised island of Koh Samui and recently, Phangan has a large chooice of activities, parties, places to stay and spas. Mai Pen Rai is not only a phrase commonly heard on the island, the phrase is also the name of a popular bungalow resort on the north side of the island. In case you are looking for a very modern resort while you are staying on Phangan, I advise to check out See Through Haad Yao . Seeking adventure in the close by Ang Thong National Park consisting of over 38 small islands blessed with amazing beaches, caves and the serene Tha Laem Nai a salt water blue laguna lake featured in The Beach by Alex Garland. It appears that whatsoever it is you are look for, in that location is something for everyone.

Restful laying on tranquil deserted beaches, snorkeling or learning to island named Ko Ma, a preserved National island of party where every month around 5 - 10,000 visitors come on the island for the infamous party in Koh Phangan has attracted an steady growing number of holiday makers. More of them religiously find their way back every year to the small paradise. What kind of people are those Island enthusiasts? Well, there is lot of reasons you could find to visit the island. Even though it is quite small in size many kinds of travelers can explore their own niche on the island. If you ask me, you should really think about traveling to Koh Phan Gan. There are roads to HaadRin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and only if you are a competitant motorcycle driver then don't attempt to get to HaadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7-11 at BaanTai and pay about 50 Baht for a taxi over the mountains to Had Rin.
