Kho Phanang

We arrived by plane to Surrat Thani and had to take a hour long bus ride and a 2 hour boat ride to get to the Island of Kho Phanang. We skipped the full moon party on purpose and boy were we glad. It was Phanag was filled with tourist and it felt like we were on MTV springbreak Asia. There were nothing but kids partying with buckets of vodka red bull, and everyone seemed to be bandaged up due to the high level of injuries incurred by moped rentals. We got invited by a couple of people to a pool party and we went but after a few hours we bounced out. The next day most of the party kids were gone and we took a ride up to the north of the Island. It was quite deserted and the snorkeling was incredible. It was my first time and the water was crystal clear and you could see all the different types of fish and marine life swimming all around. It was beautiful..The next day I took a tour around the island and we stopped at so many different part of the Islands. Had rin is where the main party is and it was pretty lame because it was all tourists and everything was western. I met up with some people from my tour and we went to Samui which was much better. It was very chill and beautiful except that it is an Island for honeymooners and I was traveling with four girls so we got the strangest looks. I would highly recomend it to people who want to just get away from it all and just have Island life for a while..After about two days I decided to head north back up to Bangkok and up to Chang mai. It was a 48 hours of boat, bus, mini bus, and more bus but I finally made it up to chang mai and the place is awesome!
