Tongsalata is the main entry point in Koh Phangan, although some of the boats come in to Haad Rin depending on the season and how rough the sea is. It’s a fairly small town with a few places to stay but there isn’t much going on. There is a small market open during the day, a few bars and...

If you are thinking of hiring a motorbike on the island of Koh Phangan make sure that you are very careful when driving as the hills are extremely steep and there are also a lot of pot holes in the road, a lot of the island doesn't have roads either so don't try and get anywhere quickly as you...

Haad Rin is probably the biggest town on Koh Phangan Island, and its also where the full moon parties are held (there are other parties too, all in different places though.) Haad Rin is usually pretty busy, most people stay there as the nightlife is good with plenty of bars to chose from. The...
