the best place to go with a backpack is koh phangan, even if there’s a lot of tourist, everywhere in thailand there are tourists, but this place is a real “shanti” place not unlike phattaya or puket
Are their any specific areas of “Ko Pha-ngan” that you enjoyed more. A certain beach that was less busy with people? A certain Villa or Bungalow you lodged at?
I was reading about the island and it sounds like it differs:
- north (mountains and more)
- south (gardens and mango trees)
- east (good swimming beaches)
- west (fishermen boats seen from the shore)
Do you remember what area/s of the island you were impressed by?

Hey im currently from canada and was thinking of taking a backpacking trip for a month or so this fall in Thailand.. Whats would you guys recommend as the top places to visit or travel around and to.
Backpacking routes in Thailand are very well trodden! We’d suggest you avoid Kha San road in Bangkok, ditch the Lonely Planet and head to Isan or the kingdom’s rural Northeast – at least for part of your trip. Get out of the large cities and towns and into the countryside villages. Meet farmers not hawkers; villagers not salesmen; opne houses not shophouses!
