Ko Phangan

by gib157 - last update: Jan 13, 2005

My first beach, and 1st photo i took
After a 9 hour bus trip from Surat Thani, a 4 hour wait there and then a 3 hour boat trip ( wiht no suncream on) I finally arrived on Ko Phangan. I was so excited after looking at the photos in the TAT office back in Bangkok. I had dreamt about beautiful beaches and warm water. I got a ride to Haad Salad on the North West of the island and after a little confusion I made my way down to the beach, and it was amazing.
In hinesight it wasnt the most beautiful beach I saw on my trip but it was the most beautiful one I had seen up to that point. The sea was translucent, the air was warm and the trees were swaying. I remember just smiling and smiling, it seemed like a postacard. I really enjoyed my time here, especially after the chaotic metropolis of Bangkok.

 Haadlad looks very nice too. I'm longing to go back, and I'd love to stay in another beach next time.
