Koh
Phangan is a large island about 60 minutes north of Koh Samui. The island
offers few comforts and can be explored by motorcycles. Hat Thong Sala,
the major community of the island, is where the ferry landing and shops
are located. In addition to white sandy beaches, there are also two beautiful
waterfalls: Namtok Phang and Namtok Than Sadet, 4 kms. and 30 kms. from
Hat Thong Sala, respectively. There is a mountain top temple called Wat
Khao Tham where meditators may go for practice. [Visit
