Koh Phangan lies just north of Koh Samui and attracts a fascinating
blend of backpackers, dreamers and travelers to its cragen reef-laden bays.
Coconuts and fishing remain mainstays for the local Thais and the roads are
often still dirt in its outer reaches. Longtail boats can be chartered to
discover hidden coves and both pickup truck taxis and motorcycle taxis serve
Thong Sala town and the islands many beaches. Thong Sala has numerous ATMs/cashpoints, banks, supermarkets, convenience stores, cafes, food stalls, restaurants and motorcycles and jeeps can be rented quite easily.
