#grouptravel We started off by departing from Maehaad Pier, and after a short boat trip, we arrived at Koh Nang Yuan. The views from the viewpoint were absolutely stunning, showcasing the three separate bays—definitely one of the world’s most beautiful spots! After that, we stopped for lunch at Mango Bay, soaking in the beautiful scenery and vibrant marine life. The snorkeling with black-tip sharks at Shark Bay was an incredible experience! ‼️The tour can be booked through the app or at the company’s office, and you’ll find plenty of advertising around the island. The price is 650 baht (~$20). #100waysoftravel #thailand #kohtaoisland

#Popular photo spots See the view from a high angle of Koh Nang Yuan, the beautiful sea that is separated. It is 3 islands connected by a sandbar. Wow! When you reach Hat Nang Yuan, the point that tourists are especially interested in is taking a photo from a high angle of the sea that is separated on the mountain. You can see a real 360-degree view. Every angle is beautiful. The white sand beach, emerald water, and beautiful nature are perfectly combined. We have to walk along the wooden bridge, walk up the stairs, climb the mountain, and climb the rocks. To get this angle, we have to wait for other groups of tourists who were taking pictures before us to come down first. This kind of trip can be found on the Koh Tao-Koh Nang Yuan trip. #Sea #trip #Gulf of Thailand #Beautiful islands in Thailand #Koh Samui #Island

I came across this space whilst strolling for the perfect coffee shop spot for an afternoon chill. Pleasantly cozy and calm, Walú Bowls became that perfect spot. With fresh juice, creamy smoothies, organic coffee and superfood infused açaí and salad bowls it gave me the health kick I’ve been craving on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan. #healthy #beachlife #paradise

Highlights: The Wat Pho is an amazing temple. The territory of the temple is quite large, it will probably take about one and a half hours to appreciate all the sights. The highlight of this temple is the giant golden 150 feet long reclining Buddha. Opening hours: 8am to 6.30pm daily.

If you find yourself traveling the islands in Thailand, come to Koh Phangan and you have to visit secret beach. While it’s no longer a big secret, it’s an amazing view beach with warm water, a great restaurant which normally has some live music or DJs and our favorite, a small bar run by an amazing guy named Jay! The beach faces west so pull up a chair for some amazing sunset views! #valentinescape #beachlife #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #thailandtravel

Maé haad beach is located right next to the main pier Mae haad pier. this is one of my favourite beaches in Koh tao, easy access, with a giant turtle on the sandy beach. there are also lots of diving boats with different colours parking in this area! there are dive centres, nice restaurants and cafes on this beach where you can grab a drink or enjoy your meals while watching the gorgeous sunset!#mytripvlog

The highlight of this temple is the giant golden 150 feet long reclining Buddha. The surroundings of the temple have a few pagodas and Wat Pho is just within walking distance (approximately a 10-minute walk) from the Grand Palace. Wat Pho is now a center for traditional massage and medicine but was the first public university in Thailand to focus on religion and literature back then. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #beachlife

The shop has a nice atmosphere and just opened. It's very beautiful. #Organize a trip to the sea

It's hard to get to from Bangkok, but it's a full moon party that you should go to at least once in your life. It's held on the 15th of every month at Haad Rin Beach in Koh Phangan. So many people come that the entire beach is packed. It's hard to find accommodations during that time, so make a reservation in advance. There are so many people on the beach on the day of the full moon party, so cell phones don't work well, so be careful not to get separated from your group. Drinking is prohibited🥲 If your schedule doesn't work out, there's also a half moon party, so please refer to it. #Koh Phangan #Koh Phangan Full Moon Party #Full Moon Party

Not merely a religious destination, the belief of Thai people, Wat Pho also owns many interesting things to attract visitors. The most prominent is the giant reclining Buddha statue, with a length of up to 46 meters and a height of 15 meters. The inside of the statue is built of brick, the outside is made of plaster, and is plated with gold. The Buddha statue is located on a large pedestal, decorated with meticulous and elaborate motifs. This pedestal is also very eye-catching gold plated. If you pay attention, you will see that the soles of the statue's feet are inlaid with sophisticated patterns. These are motifs showing 108 good generals of Shakyamuni Buddha according to the Buddhist concept. #mytripvlog

Wat Pho Temple is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It is located on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. It was built in the 16th century by King Rama I. The temple has more than one thousand Buddha images, many different building structures, chedis and pavilions. The image of the reclining Buddha represents the entry of Buddha into Nirvana and the end of all reincarnations. An annual celebration for the reclining Buddha is held around the time of the Siamese Songkran or New Year in April, which also helps raise funds for the upkeep of Wat Pho. The temple is considered the first public university of Thailand, teaching students in the fields of religion, science, and literature through murals and sculptures. It houses a school of Thai medicine and is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage which is still taught and practiced at the temple.

It's a beautiful beach. #beachtrip

"Ao Hin Kong" is located on the west side of Koh Phangan. It is another spot where tourists like to sit and watch the sunset in the evening. There are also simple bungalows and restaurants that serve tourists, reminding us of the old days of Koh Phangan District. For those who have never been there, I highly recommend it. Koh Phangan is good because its nature is still beautiful and the way of life of the people of Koh Phangan is fascinating. #Natural attractions #Accommodation with a great view

Address: 2 Sanam Chai Rd, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of Reclining Buddha, is one of the must-visit temples in Thailand. Do note that the temple is currently undergoing some renovations, but you can still visit the temple, and also go inside to have a view of the 46m long sleeping Buddha. Shoes will have to be removed before one can go in the temple with the sleeping Buddha. The whole place is actually quite big and there's a lot of other buildings at Wat Pho to explore. Do note that there is an entry fee of 200baht for foreign visitors. After the visit, I will also recommend for you to board the local ferry nearby of which it brings you across the Chao Praya River to Wat Arun. Beautiful & peaceful place, & not a lot of visitors when I'm there. Overall a nice visit. #createwithtrip #bangkok #culturaltrip

📍 Secret Beach, Koh Phangan 🌴 The entrance is very difficult. Ride a motorcycle down the hill and walk a little bit. When I got there, I was amazed. 🌊 Peaceful, quiet, quite a lot of tourists, but quiet because foreigners will rest and sunbathe without making noise. I like it very much. Very slow life. ✨ The weather is good too. It's a great feeling. 🚙 Transportation: There is a songthaew service. 🛵 Rent a motorcycle to ride. It's not too far. #Sea trip #Koh Phangan #Surat Thani #Southern team #The body needs the sea #Southern sea #Go to an island #Phangan #Go to the sea #Photographer #Our hearts are at the sea #Sea trip

📍Haad Rin is a very famous beach for organizing the Full Moon Party. 🌊 However, Gammy is not a party person, so she came to admire the beauty of the sea and the tranquility here. There are many restaurants, spas, and bars on the beach. 🌴 There are also jet ski activities, which are very interesting. ☁️ If you are a chill person, you can come and sunbathe, sit and listen to relaxing music, and relax in a different way. 🌟 It is very beautiful, but the way to get there is very brutal, with many curves. #SeaTrip #SeaTrip #KohPhangan #SuratThani #SouthernTeam #TheBodyNeedsTheSea #SouthernSea #GoToTheIsland #Phangan #GoToTheSea #Photography #OurHeartsAreInTheSea #HaadRin
