Phangan Island is an island that you can take a boat from Koh Samui for only 20 minutes. I love that island so much but I hate traveling by boat. I always get sick from it.
On Friday 29th of May, we took flight from Bangkok to Samui at 6 am. Right if you are gonna go there by plane, you could land at Samui and then take a boat from there. We arrived Samui at 7.15 and there was a taxi service from the hotel on Phangan island waiting for us there.
Well i'll talk about the hotel first. The hotel we stayed in named Santhiya Resort located on the Phangan. My boyfriend found it on the internet and he liked it and booked it for us. Actually we intended to go there in April but there was some mistake that time. We intended to go to Samui and he booked the hotel which he thought it was on Samui island so we skipped it that time and stayed on samui. Santhiya also has a branch on Samui which i dont remember the name.
Once we landed, we walked out and saw a guy from the hotel waiting for us there. They told us that the boat would be available at 11am, and ask us if we wanna go to the Big Buddha Place, or to their hotel on Samui. We decided to go to the hotel cause we've been to the Big Buddha Place before in April. The hotel on Samui is so small and there was also a small restuarant there. We ate there and then had some rest by the pool waiting for the boat.
Almost at 11am, we walked to the hotel's pier and took pictures as below. You can click on the picture to enter my gallery.
The boat was not big and gonna carry 14 person to the hotel on Phangan. The resort was in the north of the island so it took us 10 minnutes more to get there. On the way to the resort we saw a big beach which looked crownded. It was Had Rin, the place where you can join the fullmoon party every fullmoon night.
Our resort was at Thong Nai Pan beach. It was up the hill and we had to walk up to the lobby and take a car to our room.
When I walked up there I saw an awesome pool. It was a big pool with waterfall. When I was walking pass it I thougth that I would come back to swim there. But once we got to our room, we forget about it.
The room was very nice and I liked it the most from other places I had been. It was like a house up the hill with private area and with a swimming pool in front of the house. What surprised me the most was the bathtub was outside the house and the shower room with no roof!
