The trip from Hat Yai was relatively uneventful, apart from arriving at the ferry to find the booking agent hadn't given us our ferry tickets. Panic ensued until we noticed our minibus driver (who looked about 12) chuckling from the sidelines - he had them in his pocket...the git!

Koh Phan-Ngan is a beautiful island - the beaches in the north are definitely worth a visit...especially bottle beach - reached only by longtail boat! Unfortunately our stay in Koh Phan-Ngan was overshadowed somewhat by getting robbed. Someone broke into our room- WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING! They stole money and jewellery but thankfully left credit cards, passports and cameras alone. It could have been so much worse so we are trying not to dwell on it. Thankfully beautiful beaches do help the recuperation process!
