Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, December 14, 2014: Koh Phangan

We arrived at Koh Phangan, famous for its parties, right after the infamous Full Moon party. Backpackers were leaving while we still had to discover the party island.

I’m not a party enthusiast, so I was reasonably pleased to see the island almost deserted. Our guides took us in their 4×4’s across the island to Bottle Beach, a secluded beach in the North of Koh Phangan. Apparently, you can only reach the area by boat, but we traversed a long stretch of road works and tricky bumpy roads to reach the beach.

I spent a very relaxing few days at the beach. Beautiful weather, crystal clear water and white sandy beach. During the day, various boats would arrive, either dropping off new tourists staying at one of the hotels, or people enjoying a day at the beach, before leaving by boat before sunset.
