I've never been to Koh Phangan but thinking of going to experience the Full Moon Party. I just have high expectations when it comes to islands as we have the best ones from where I came from (Philippines).
I went to Chiang Mai 4 months ago to check the community and as you can see, I went back. It's really a big place if you want to hang out with bunch of people who works online.
You should visit and see if you like it. And if I am still here by the time you come, we should go out! Would be lovely to meet someone in the flesh.
Thanks for the support. I will keep on writing more, and if you have any question feel free to reach out.
The reason I liked Koh Phangan is because it's a small island, it's not overcrowded, it is so chilled (it's gets a little bit crazy during the Full Moon party but only in that area) and like you said, food is amazing and cheap! But I understand why you have high expectations, I've heard so much about the islands of Philippines as the most beautiful islands in the world!
I feel like Chiang Mai is the same as Koh Phangan but in a city form.
I am planning to go back to Koh Phangan for another month at least (depends on my Visa), but I would also love to visit Chiang Mai.
So if you come to the island and I'm there or if I come to CM and you're there, we should definitely meet and hang out.
People I talked to about Koh Phangan said it's overcrowded and expensive. I have to ask you about that when I plan to go.
Yeah, Philippines has the best sceneries when it comes to nature. Beaches, Falls, Mountains, and I hate to sound bias, but you will love the people ;)
Yeah, that's right. It's like Koh Phangan without the beach. Where are you now? And when will you be in Koh Phangan? I might plan something out when you are there.
I was in Koh Phangan out of season, I found so many (almost) empty beaches and places to eat/bars to chill. But of course, there's a lot of 'hot spots' like Haad Rin where the Full Moon party is or Amsterdam bar that is very popular.
I am now in my home town in Serbia, my plan is to pass all my exams and graduate from University by December 19th and then maybe hit the road! :)
What about you?
I should take note on that. Will definitely ask you when I plan to go. Full Moon Party is on my bucketlist so I will visit no matter how crowded it is,haha.
Oh cool! I am in Chiang Mai now, and I don't know my next plans, lol
