The main town on Koh Phangan, most people will just pass through Thong
Sala on the way to one of Koh Phangan's many beaches. It's packed with
the standard port town stuff - travel agents, tourist shops, restaurants
and bars suitable for an hour or so while you wait for a ferry, banks
and exchange facilities, internet cafes and medical clinics.
If you're staying close by or need to kill a few hours while waiting for
a boat there are a few things to keep you busy - including a newly
opened cinema, a gym where you can get Thai boxing lessons, and a
paintball battlefield.
With all of the reasons why you may find yourself in Thong Sala, there
are very few (if any) reasons why you would choose to stay in Thong
Sala. Accommodation options in the town's centre consist mainly of large
impersonal hotels and a couple of laid back guest houses. Even if you
have an early ferry departure, the resorts on the closest beaches are a
better value than the places in town and are still within reach of the
pier and Thong Sala's many services.
The town has everything visitors could possibly need. Several banks,
ATMs and money exchange kiosks are located a short walk from the pier,
as are a countless array of travel agents, markets, pharmacies, internet
cafes and some decent shopping. Most places also offer motorbike and
jeep rentals.
