32. Koh Phangan

Unfortunately, the sky was grey again today. We decided not to take the long walk to bottle beach and to take an explore around the island on the moped instead.
Our first stop was Zen Beach, it was quite a long drive and the roads were super bumpy towards the end. We thought it was a promising sign that the beach would have plenty of space, but we were sad to find that the beach was full with limited places to sit as it was a super high tide. We managed to find a seat at the beach bar and enjoyed a smoothie before heading off again.
We carried on around the island for a while before stopping off at secret beach. There was nothing secret about this beach, as it was packed again, so we didn't stay long.
Finally, we managed to find a decent place to stay for a while at a beach called Mae Haad beach. When the tide is low, you can walk over to the neighbouring island "Koh Ma" . The tide was a bit too high to cross over today, but we found a nice spot to relax with a beer for a few hours.
We nipped back to the bungalow for a quick shower and went to this recommended restaurant a short drive away. We both tried this new dish called " Khao Soi soup", a really fragrant curry with loads of veg and soft and crispy noodles, it was seriously good!Read more
