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?

The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.
My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
