Ko Phangan Koh Phangan on your own
Posted: Sat November 8, 2008 03:51 PM UTC
Hi, Im going to Koh Phangan shortly after christmas, Im a little worried about the fact that I am going to be on my own. How safe is Koh Phanagan? I dont like the idea of going back to my Bungalow on my own so would prefer to share accomodation with a new found friend. Would you advuise sharing accomadation with someone and would you advise this as a place to visit on your own. Im just worried that I'll get a bit lonely while im there. Thanks for your help

Sean I am sure you wont get lonely as you will meet heaps of people over there. May i ask why your travelling alone? And where will you be coming from?

It might be cheaper and more fun, but not saver to share your Bungalow. Ko Phangan (and Thailand) is quite save, robbery is quite uncommon. The biggest danger (more in Bangkok than in Ko Phangan are k.o. drops in your drink or gem, timeshare etc. sales). Getting lonely depends a bit on your mentality and age, but Ko Phangan is a easy place to avoid it.

Having lived on Koh Phangan for 4+ years I can assure you it is not an especially safe island, and this problem is compounded by the fact that there is virtually no law enforcement or help available if you do have an emergency. You definitely need to keep your head on straight while you are there. Watch your drinks, don't ride motorbikes if you are inexperienced or drunk, stay away from drugs except in the privacy of your room, keep your valuables in the safe, and never ever provoke the locals into a fight. That said, you will meet lots of great people and will have a great time!
