if your only staying in koh phanghan for 2 nights max,your probably better of staying haad rin or near,thats were the FMP is and a majority of the nightlife,theres defintely much more of koh phanghan i can see and that includes haad rin,but what i do know is that i had a excellent time in a place called Haad son(resort was called haad son also,only 2 resorts on the bay,nice private beach).yeah right ,i hardly done F.A up there,but chilled on my raised bungalow,lying on my hamock sipping samsong(except for a few runs to 7/11 in the geep, as he called it to pick up the bare neciesities and some chocolate milk,which was 10-15 minutes to the nearest village).some very nice sights up that way,not a care in the world type feeling.
but i will say, i stayed there for the duration of my trip and it was no trouble getting there and back to the FMP,there is arranged songtaew trips for the 45 minute hike.
excellent restaurant and bar,all on raised decking over looking the bay.
Im the same as you ,like the aspect of relaxing seeing different things, and knowing your gonna be back amongst a totally different scene back in the likes of pattaya,patong ,bkk...
you say your around april/ may time ,maybe hitting LOS around that time myself,have to hook up for a beer or two,show these old' uns how its done,no offence anyone
