KOH MAA

Mai Pen Rai is'nt just a translation of 'no problem' on Koh Phangan, Maipenrai is as well the name of a very nice bungalow island of Koh Phangan. Being generally much more quieter and laid back than Koh Samui, just with the exception of the island for the over crowded resorts like Ananda or the Sanctuary, sessions and massages.

Koh Phangan was for the first time visited by backpackers a mere twenty years ago, Koh Phangan was actually inhabited for more than two thousand years ago by sea gypsies originating from the area today called malaysia. The area was a few years later targeted by Chinese people originating from the chinese province Hainan fleeing the economic hardship in their country. For those of the travelers who find Koh Samuia bit too expensive or much too commercial with tourist, the neighbor Phanganoffers some attractions suchlike wake boarding, Dirt-bike Rentals, Elephant Trekking, Mountain Treking, Snorkeling, Thai box Fights, YogaLessons,a Chinese Temple and Thai Cooking Lessons.

Koh Phangan has some of most beautiful beachesanywhere in the country. If you are in search of a not bad place to stay at Ko Phangan, I would like to offer you the B52 Resort, close to Thongsala, the main hub of the island. From this place you can have an unproblematic access to restaurants, banks, money exchange and mini marts.
