Koh Phangan is very close to a natural wonder, an amazing water world of 42 or so islands in the the Central Gulf Coast!
Sitting as a panorama view on Clear days for Koh Phangan visitors and no more than a small boat ride from the shores of Phangan.
You can experience breathtaking visuals when sailing around the islands, all in different sizes and shapes, covered with tropical forests and named after their unique geography.
Just the same as Koh Samui is the Dragon and Koh Tao the Turtle, they named the Marine Park islands names such as ‘Sleeping cow’ or ‘3 pillars’. This is of course only if you get a translator though because in Thai it sounds like ‘Mae Yat’, ‘Wua Te’, ‘Huaklong’, Kho Ban, Mae Ko and so on.
There are 250 sq metres of islands which raise from the sea in bizarre rock formations or sweet colourful ‘islandscapes’.
Beach forests, Limestone forests and Mangrove forests are to find among the islands and the nature trails there are amazing.
Caves, hidden lagoons and white sandy beaches together with the shallow coral gardens!
A boat ride around with snorkel and masks, sunset and a BBQ, you are super set for the day and evening!
