Still, as
Koh Phanganhas much to show the interested visitor than just a famous never ending
party place, you can find a quiet part, offering the private atmosphere of a secluded bungalow
resort with long walks, relaxation therapy and various other things to do.
Ko
Phangan is one of the country's amazing tropical gems. Blessed with sunny
beachesand hidden bays, tourists from many different countries come back evry year in order to soak up the amazing feeling of the island.
Two of the most popular of the beaches,
Haad Rin and
Chaloklum always are crowded with sun worshipers but there's also quieter, more secluded bays and beaches.
Kohphangan's monthly
Fullmoon Party is asia's best known
beachparty, with international DJ's from across the globe lining up to get the honor of playing.

Kohphangan has many undeveloped remote
beachesand jungle, some are only accessible by trekking through jungle paths or by hiring a taxi boat.
You can use the roads to HadRin, but we have warned you that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and only if you are a good motorbike rider then don't attempt to get to Had Rin, as most accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7/11 at BanTai and pay approx 60 Baht for a pickup over the mountains to Had Rin.

Phanganenthusiasts? Actually, there is lot of reasons why one should visit the island. Even though it is tiny in size many kinds of travelers can explore their own favorite place on Koh Phangan. In my opinion, you should definitely consider traveling to Ko Phangan.
You can book for a wide range of Guesthouses and
Bungalowson Koh Phan Gan for different kind of budget, availible for online

In case you are looking for a not bad place to stay at the island, I can suggest you the B52 Beach Resort, not far from Thong Sala, the biggest village on the island. From
B52 Beach Resort guests have an easy access to food markets, ATM machines and Tesco Lotus.
There are loads of ways to get around the island, you can hire a local cab for a small amount of Baht,or you are able to drive you can hire a jeep or motorbike and do it in your own time.

Although Pha-ngan was visited by
backpackersa mere 20 years ago, Phangan was inhabited as long as two thousand years ago by sea gypsies driving with their boats from the area today called malaysia. The area was some time later swarmed by Chinese most of them coming from the chinese province Hainan fleeing their country.
