Koh Phangan POSH Guide

"POSH Koh Phangan" may sound like a contradiction in terms, but in fact the island is seeing more and more luxury resorts opened or planned. However, when considering Koh Phangan as a destination, you should know that there is still very little other development on the island. No golf courses; no marina; not many restaurants outside hotels. If you just want a nice place with sand, sea and sun to "get away from it all", then Phangan may be for you. But if you need lots of other distractions, consider Samui or Phuket.
