Guns & Butter: Koh Phangan, Thailand Travel Guide (Haad Rin Edition)

Koh Phangan Travel Guide is part of the Reunion Tour Trip Report.


TPOLā€™s Guns & ButterĀ Travel Guide is the best way to see as much as you can in as little time as possible. Hereā€™s how it works ā€“Ā A trip is composed of two factors: Labor And Lazy. The opportunity cost (what is given up) for relaxing and being Lazy is gained by being adventurous in the form of Labor and vice versa. The guide includes inefficient activities i.e., tourist traps that should be avoided and aspirational activities that are worth doing but may be impossible to see given the constraints of time and resources.


On March 19, 2014, I published one of the first posts on this blog, Party Time Worldwide. No need to link the post. Here it is in its entirety:

“I can have fun without drinking,” someone once told me.

Maybe, it is possible but I prefer the alternative.

What’s on your bucket list? (worst saying btw)

I hope Koh Phangan, Thailand.

Stay tuned for the debauchery, worldwide of course.


Ten years later, I have written about said debauchery (seeĀ Simply The Best: TPOL Is Ten And #MasterOfWon) which included three trips to Koh Phangan.

Come

Take the speed boat from Koh Samui (see Bangkok Airways [Almost] Direct to Full Moon v. Plane, Bus, Ferry, Boat).

Stay

If you’re going for the full moon party, you must stay on Haad Rin beach. I recommendĀ Tommy’s Resort.
