Koh Phangan Sunsets and Seascapes

For the folks who live in the colder climes, where the winters are dark and cold, where the sun can set as early as three in the afternoon, where nature's winter palette can be monotonous shades of grey for weeks at a time, there is an overwhelming hunger for the tropics.

The warm sun and sea, tropical winds, a startling array of bright colors from dawn until dusk. Even tropical rain squalls can be inviting, refreshing, the rain almost like a hot shower.

Thailand's southern islands draw millions of these folks every year, especially between the months of December and March. And the northwest coast of Phangan Island delivers the full tropical show.

A dazzling array of sunsets, huge vistas of sea and cloud, passing squalls. Koh Phangan has it all.
