In my opinion, full-scale attractions on Phangan Little. The waterfalls here are tiny, the mountains are so-so, but from real beautiful here only is that the beaches. Everything else on Phangan very simple, small and shtetl. Comparing with Samui where the situation with the landmarks a little better, I would say that in general The islands are very similar. But if Samui has only bars, restaurants and a couple of clubs, there are party places on Phangan where events that can be fully considered separate pastime. The best parties – on Phangan!
Although some experts say that Phangan is not necessary Consider a party island, but precisely for parties and get-togethers here and should go. And I’m not talking about the well-known Full Moon Pati, but in general about the whole set of dvizhnyakov on the island. I have not met another place in Thailand where there would be such a dense concentration assorted parties, specific bars with viewing platforms (where they also regularly light parties) and cult cafes. Does not come to me to mind another resort in Thailand, with so many entertainment institutions, which (according to reviews of old-timers) is steadily growing, and their quality is enhanced.

Below, I have listed the main, iconic view bars, where most of the farang on Phangan flow and on which stands pay attention to those who appreciate such a plan of things.
Amsterdam Bar and Top Rock Bar
The legendary place, known to absolutely everyone, so at sunset there stupidly not overflowed. Take a trip to Amsterdam bar and meet Sunset is a must-have when visiting the island. Although I can say that in fact the view there is not the best. But place nice, if you are young, wide-minded, you like music in techno style and you don’t mind that someone will be near you smoke weed No wonder the name of the bar Amstardam consonant with the famous smoking city in Holland.
The bar has two areas: one lower, with a pool and music in style. techno, and the second taller, with sitting and lying places, and more calm music. Usually it is on the second site most people, as there is a better view. And it is there that you can lie down on the pillows and slowly smoke a joint in the company of friends, well or in splendid isolation. If you want to take a better place, then Come there an hour or even two hours before sunset. Look Sunset is the minimum program for this place.

Next to the Amsterdam bar is the Top Rock Bar. It is simpler, smaller, but also with a good view. It can fit on the strength of 20 people, it seems to me. The atmosphere here is different, maybe because of a completely another contingent, and maybe due to the interior of the bar. Is not modern stone structure like Amsterdam bar, and wooden, in some places it is reminiscent of the style “of which they found, of which they did.” Contrary to the opinion of some experts who claim to smoke on Phangan is possible only at certain points, here you can buy and smoke a joint.

Bar 360 and Restaurant Utopia Resort
Bar 360 is probably the best viewpoint on the island. Located on the roof of a building built on a mountain, and the view from it opens if not 360 degrees, then 270 – exactly. Used to be there there was an abandoned hotel that was idle for a long time. Now hotel stayed, but a bar was made on its roof. As far as I know the place owned by the police and controlled by her, but at the same time You can buy not only standard drinks, but also smoke. Truth not every day, but only during parties that take place a couple of times per month.
The rest of the time, this is just a quiet and relaxing bar, where almost no people. And yes, it is better to come before sunset to at the same time also carry out the sun.

Decent place on the mountain with a viewpoint and a panoramic view of the south. Phangan Earlier there were parties, but something didn’t grow together even in my arrival was no longer there.
