Located inside the southern siamese Gulf of Thailand Koh Phanganis sister island to the popular tourist destination of Koh Samui that get visited by over one million tourists each year. You can use the roads to HaadRin, but we have warned you that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and only if consider yourself a confident motorbike driver then do not try to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7/11 at Ban Tai and pay about 50 Baht for a pickup over the mountains to Had Rin. On Koh Phangan you can see typical picture-postcard views of coconut palms , bright blue water and beautiful mountain views. Phangan used to be a backpackers destination, today a much more mixed range of tourists arrives here. A thing many of tourists have in common, tourists want to find a relaxed and interesting place. One exemption could be the Fullmoon party when Had Rin Nok changes into a dancefloor.

On Island lovers? Well, there are a lot of reasons to visit the island. Even it is quite small in size many kinds of visitors can discover their own place on Koh Phangan. In my opinion, you should really think about traveling to Phangan. Nowadays, Koh Phanganwas at the beginning explored by backpackersmore than 20 years ago, Koh Phangan was before inhabited already about two thousand years ago by sea pirates coming from the area today called malaysia. Koh Phangan was later settled by Chinese people many of them originating from the province Hainan fleeing the economic hardship in their country.
