Thong Sala accommodation from AU$88

The pier is the centre of life in Thongsala, so have a walk around the stores lining the foreshore and choose dive trips, fishing charters or sailing escapes to add adventure to your vacation. The shopping is excellent, so fill your suitcase or stock up on anything you may have forgotten! Two markets run every day, and are the best places in town to try delicious Thai snacks.

Thongsala is home to one of the Muay Thai Stadiums on Koh Phangan, an absolute must see for any visitor who enjoys the fights. Burn off any built up energy with a round at the Paintball Arena - also a good chance to let out any frustration towards members in your travel group! There are plenty of jeeps, scooters and mountain bikes for hire, rent one and explore the quiet little beaches that make up the west of Koh Phangan. Getting around is easy, with paved roads connecting nearly the whole island.

Every Saturday afternoon the Chinese Street closes its entry for vehicles, and transforms into a wonderful walking street. Come for a stroll and see where the local people all hang out while tasting some unique Thai snacks and listening to great live bands in a lively energetic environment.

Wind down your day with an aerobic dance class at Lomprayah Pier. It's free of charge and a fun way to participate in the local fitness scene. The nightlife in Thongsala offers many places to enjoy a drink, a game of pool or live international sports. A traditional massage will soon have you very relaxed, or take a course and learn the ancient Thai massage techniques yourself.

After a flight to Surat Thani, the ferry brings you right into Thongsala. Stay a couple of days in the capital of Koh Phangan and enjoy the atmosphere while you explore the best the island has to offer.
