The best three things Koh Phangan has to offer? Nature, shopping and nightlife!
Today we want to show you the perfect day on Koh Phangan.
Morning: Get some nice breakfast in one of the various restaurants. Western, Thai, even Usbek, you decide!
Noon: Rent a scooter and explore the island. One spot we highly suggest is Ko Ma. This tiny little island in the north west of Koh Phangan is connected to the mainland with a narrow sandbank so that you can reach Ko Ma by walking. Just during high tide, your pants might get a little wet. Once you're stranded on the island, you´ll feel like Robinson Crusoe. There´s just a small beach, the rest of the island is covered by wild plants. Relaxing in the shadow of small trees, snorkelling or reading a good book - the time will fly by.
Afternoon: There are two roads, to get back to Thong Sala. Either through the rainforest in the middle of the island or on the west coast, where you can stop on the way to take a recovering Yoga class. On each side of the road, you´ll see a lot of Yoga studios, sustainable shops and healthy café´s.
Evening: Every Saturday the main road in Thong Sala transforms into a walking street market, opening 4 pm. Traders offer anything you can think of. Colourful clothing, coconut products, cheap food and drinks, beautiful accessories, handmade products, art, fresh fruits and vegetables... Get your personal souvenir here and don't forget to try the delicious street food.
Night: Party time! Koh Phangan is an island where the parties never stop. So no problem, if you missed half/black/full moon, just go for a drink in one of the many bars of the island and see what the night will bring. There's always something going on here!
