Great video! Good to show the different sides of travelling and was interesting seeing Koh Phangan since we didn't get to visit. I would have definitely had to try the four men oysters and your last accommodation in Koh Phangan on the beach seemed great. Look forward to seeing the Koh Samui video as it was one of our favourite places.
You’re going to need a sense of adventure to enjoy an island like koh phangan properly. Public transport and taxis won’t cut it. You should have rented a 4x4 I suspect it would have worked out cheaper than all your taxis. That way you get to see so much more of the island. Sadly you missed all the gorgeous bits! Phangan is still a beautiful quiet gorgeous island ruined once a month by 1000s of young drunk idiots doing the very same thing that 1000s more did the month before! Go back and embrace the real feel of the island instead of being disappointed that your expectations weren’t met 😊
We didn’t see any 4x4 rental places in Haad Rin but it sounds like a great idea! We left with a definite sense of unfinished business. I believe there used to be tours of the island that you could book also but these were unfortunately not running when we were there. Thanks for the comment Will!
@@thebeckettlist I would definitely go back it’s a beautiful island. You can rent a 4x4 in Thong Sala near the ferry. Also worth bearing in mind that a lot (most) guesthouse owners will help with this sort of thing. In fact with anything! For haad rin itself I would recommend going to palita lodge at the quiet north end of the beach. If you stay or eat there they will I’m sure help you with what you need. I’ve rented 4x4s via them and never had an issue. Lovely people. Definitely go back!! 😊

Thanks Liam, really appreciate it mate! Bottle beach was stunning, we’d definitely recommend it if you head to Koh Phangan.
Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui has a Central mall. Probably more walkable.
