BEACHES
You can use the concrete roads to Had Rin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and unless consider yourself a competitant motorbike driver then don't try to get to HadRin, as most accidents involving motorcycles happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7/11 at Ban Tai and pay approx 60 Baht for a pickup over the mountains to Koh Phangan is the next full moon is a useful advise. Hotels like Milky Bay Phangan or B52 Beach Resort offer websites together with advance booking for resorts.

Koh Phangan was first discovered by backpacking hippies a mere twentytwo years ago, Koh Phangan was already inhabited for more than two thousand years ago by sea pirates driving with their boats from the area today called malaysia. The island was then later swarmed by chinese refugees originating from the chinese province Hainan fleeing the economic hardship in their country.
There are loads of ways to move around on the island, you can hire a local taxi for a small amount of money,or if you feel really adventurist you can rent a motorcycle or crossbike and do it in your own time frame.
One of the least cost intensive way from BKK to Koh Phangan is to buy a joint ticket from Songserm Travel for ferry and express boats, buses, trains, airplanes to the island. Another option is to fly an 1 hr. flight by Bangkok Airways 6 times a day from Bangkok to Koh Samui and catch the catamaran speed boat to Phangan.
Phangan is about 2.5 hours away from Surat Thani Province and approximately 45 min. from Samui by ferry.
