HaadRin.
During the last 17 years, Koh Phangan has attracted an steady growing amount of guests. Some of them somehow find their way back each holiday to the island. What brings back those Koh Phangan enthusiasts? Actually, there is lot of reasons you could find to visit Phangan. Even though it is quite small in size many types of tourists can find their own niche on Phangan. In my opinion, you should really think about visiting Koh Phangan.
Today, Koh Phangan developed into a popular destination and tourists from every area of the world to visit it.
If you like to dine out then the
island has to offer a variety of restaurants, bars and cafes offering Thai, International, Danish, Western and Mediterranean dishes, something to suit everyone. And of course a huge choice of fresh seafood that is locally caught.
There are many ways to explore the island, you can take a local taxi for a little amount of Baht,or you are experienced enough you can rent a moped or chopper and do it in your own time.
One exemption from the otherwise relaxing and quite
island might be the
FullMoon
Party Beach when
Haad Rin East Side changes to a dance floor made of sand. If you dislike huge party's or even listen to the music, don't worry on
Kohpanganare a lot untouched spots, that are all over the Island like National Parks, fruit garden in the hills and fishing spots.
Specially for yoga freaks there are some Bungalow
resortslike the Sanctuary and Ananda, all offering and colonic fasting.
