Hello once again, This is PART 2 of Ko Phangan. We were suppose to go to Ko Tao today. But at the very last minute (we were actually queuing up for the ferry) we decided not too. We knew that most places with air-con, which is a must in this humidity, were far too expensive on Ko Tao. We also liked it here on Ko Phangan so much, so why leave. Also the money we'd save from staying longer could be used on a hire car again for a few days. So, here we are. We ch...

Hello everyone, Well we've been here for 9 days now. It's so lovely here and we have finally hit the location we've been looking for. We're right at the top end of the Island in a gorgeous bungalow surrounded by trees and greenery with the beach right on our doorstep (20 second walk!) It's very peaceful and it's just been so lovely to do nothing. We brought a couple of hammocks from a local trader who make them all herself. And the majorit...

Hello everyone,We have only had two days here as this place is very small and have just been around the ruins of the old city. We stayed in the new city. We got to the town at 1am on Thursday and had to get a Samalaw (backwards tricycle with an engine) to the hotel. This was very weird and very cold but woke us up. The journey was only 5mintues. We woke up the next day and wandered around town. Very different from anywhere else and not much to do but the main rea...
