KOH PHANGAN
There are lots of ways to see the island, you can take one of the taxi for a little amount of money,or if you feel really adventurist you can hire a jeep or chopper and drive around in your own time frame.
If it's boring for you to hanging around at one of the beaches try out something new. Phangan has many activities like wake boarding, Dirt-bike Rentals, Elephant Riding, Mountain Treking, Snorkeling, Thaiboxing, Yoga Classes,a Chinese Temple and Thai Cooking Lessons.
For those of the travelers who find Samuia bit too overly priced or a bit too crowded with farang, the neighbor island can be the a better destination to relax & chill in Southern Thailand.
You can book for a wide range of Guesthouses and Bungalows on Koh Phangan for every kind of budget, availible to book in advance here.
Two of the most visited of the beaches, Haad Rin and Chaloklum most of the time are filled up with sun worshipers but there's also quieter, more secluded bays and beaches.
Kohpangan's monthly Fullmoon Party is asia's best known beach party, with international DJ's from all over the world lining up to have the chance of playing.
Still, as Phangan has so much more to experience than being a crazy never ending party place, there is also a quiet side, having the private atmosphere of a resort with great beach scenery, or yoga courses and different other day time activities.
Kho Phangan used to be the hippy heaven, currently a 'more mixed range' of tourists travel here. But they all want to find a relaxed and easy going place.
Located in the Gulf of Thailand Phangan is sister island to the world wide known tourist destination of Samui Island that attracts in excess of 1.5 million tourists each year.
The weather in Thailand is extremely tropic, warm and humid. The weather changes are caused by monsoons that create three different seasons in Northern and Central Thailand and 2 distinguishable seasons in southerly Siam. The south-west monsoon around May to Oct is warm and cloudy, in north-east monsoon approx Nov to Mar is dry and comparatively cool.
