Welcome back to Koh Phangan Island News, the most negative ;-) and most controversial web site reporting the awful truth about the Island Of Madness, formerly also known as Koh Phangan Paradise Island.

Finally, after a few light years have been passed by, our team of non-corrupted douche bags at Koh Phangan Island News Headquarters managed to check out the most recent hype on Koh Phangan Island.

The Jam Bar – Live Music on the Beach!

The Jam is located directly at the beach along the west coast of Koh Phangan Island in the Hin Kong area, between Wok Tum and Srithanu, just after the bridge. You won’t be able to miss it as there are tons and tons of motorbikes parked next to the road and some red lights & signs try to grab your attention.

The Jam became quite famous here on Koh Phangan Island and has developed over the last few months into a meeting point for musicians from all other the world. The Jam offers a full stage setup with drum kit, electric guitar, bass, synthesizer, bongos and open mics. Everyone is welcome to perform at the live jam sessions on their open stage and please feel free to bring your own instruments and do not hesitate and join this awesome live music event.

Happy New Year - Koh Phangan Songkran Festival 2007

Read more   Posted by: Becki on Sunday, April 15, 2007 - 10:25 AM
Events First of all a happy, lovely & totally wicked Sawadee Pee Mai to all Koh Phangan lovers out there.

April 13.th 2007 is indeed an extraordinary special day on Koh Pha-Ngan Island, the hidden jewel, in the Gulf of Thailand. So … it was time again for another celebration of the world famous Songkran Festival here on Koh Phangan Paradise Island. And also in the year 2007 lots and lots of people from all over the world finally found their way to Koh Pha-Ngan, the island of madness, to participate in a day filled with fun, smiles, tons of liquid and some usual surprises.

Though it was raining a lot that day the streets in downtown Thongsala were packed again with hundreds of bizarre life forms to celebrate the beginning of a New Year in the Thai culture. The Songkran Festival Party normally starts nice & smoothly late morning and reaches its peak around noon and then tends to create its own insanity, which perfectly fits in with the demented surroundings the island of madness, called Koh Phangan, has to offer.

Koh Phangan Illusion – The Techno Gladiator Arena?

Read more   Posted by: Becki on Sunday, September 17, 2006 - 08:05 PM
Events Welcome back to Koh Phangan Island News – the one and only online news magazine reporting the awful truth about the hidden paradise island of madness and daily increasing insanity in the Gulf of Thailand!

Recently Becki went on a secret undercover mission together with our computer scientist Patrik from the Baancom.com headquarters, who, by the way offers simply the best computer consulting, repair and sales service on Koh Phangan Paradise Island. Notebook problems? Windows XP just isn’t doing the stuff it’s supposed to do? Or experiencing a hardware failure? Well … just phone 077-238 124 and ask for Patrik! If a friendly and charming female Thai voice is answering the call … CAUTION - BE ALERTED!

Anyway, enough subliminal advertisement for today ;-) So … recently on our secret undercover Sunday afternoon mission we probably found the perfect solution to most of the party zone problems here on beloved Koh Pha-Ngan Island!

What’s the Party Zone Problem you might ask? Well … nearly everyone is now desperately organizing so called ‘Satisfy Your Soul’ techno party events all around the island to simply just get that easy money and maximize their profits! Resulting in terrible noise all night long sometimes every single night!

Happy New Year - Koh Phangan Songkran Festival 2006

Read more   Posted by: Becki on Saturday, April 15, 2006 - 09:16 AM
Events First of all a happy, lovely and awesome New Year to all Koh Phangan lovers out there!

Songkran Festival April 13th – that’s of course a day you should mark with a bright color when traveling to the island of madness, Ko Pha-Ngan, in the Gulf of Thailand. Originally Songkran means the beginning of a New Year in the Thai Culture and that’s also the reason why you hear a lot “Sawadee Pee Mai” that day, simply wishing you a Happy New Year.

Songkran also means tons of liquid! First they normally start with plain and simple water and later on that day most Songkran participants switch to other kinds of available liquid, like Chang, Singha, Heineken, Saeng Som, Vodka and Red Bull. That’s also how many Songkran reveler look late afternoon … like a drunken red bull ;-) Exactly around that time Becki normally decides to quit the show as things tend to get a bit nasty and out of control, like it most happens if massive amounts of people gather together to celebrate the let’s get fucking wasted mentality.

Phangan Headband live at Utopia Resort!

Read more   Posted by: Becki on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 07:11 AM
Events After the last successful live act of Mick Ford and his Phangan Headband at Tranquil Resort it was time again for another celebration of a chaotic mix of Blues and Rock.

By the way, the last live gig at Tranquil Resort a couple of weeks ago was so fantastic and probably so loud that our French guests next door at the Siripun Bungalows didn’t get enough sleep to jump on their mountain bikes in the morning for the island tour. Therefore our main chief of the island, Mr. Khao, who can be found here at Sexy Scissors, decided to officially shut down this island top act of live music celebration at Tranquil Resort! YES – it’s official! No more constant live music at Tranquil Resort! Permission can be applied only for special occasions ;-)

However … rock musicians are made of another kind of wood and also famous for the motto ‘Don’t give up – Never surrender!’ So it was time again for another night of Blues and Rock with the one and only Phangan Headband. Lots of people found their way to Phangan Utopia Resort at the north coast of Koh Phangan Paradise Island. I think there were about 150 people and also lots of the island ‘long term patients’ showed their faces ;-)

Koh Phangan Blues and Rock Live Music at Tranquil Resort!

Read more   Posted by: Becki on Saturday, January 15, 2005 - 09:56 AM
Events One Scotch … one Bourbon … one Beer! Also this high season in the year 2005 Mick Ford and his ‘Koh Phangan Headband’ are still alive and rocking.

After a couple of gigs around the island it was time again for a life concert back home at the Tranquil Resort. Lots of live music lovers found their way to the most tranquil spot on the island to enjoy this island top act. The band around Mick Ford was in good conditions and newly equipped with a saxophone player named Gustavo who was doing quite a good job playing these fancy notes.

Though the ‘Koh Phangan Headband’ was starting a bit slow it soon came into serious action and the whole place was shaking and having a good time. Also to mention again was our special Canadian guest ‘Glyn Jagger’ on vocals who did his brilliant bit on performance singing this song which name I can’t remember. But Becki was really impressed – two thumbs up ‘Glyn Jagger’ ;-)

Unfortunately this time I can’t offer any pictures of this fantastic live gig. Just because Becki got sort of influenced by our special guests from Canada named Karen & Glyn and their tiny but marvelous 100% pure canadian missiles. Uuuppssaa … Becki got hit … Becki was paralyzed ;-) And finally I even forgot to pay for my beers! But will do so on Sunday when the ‘Sunday Roast’ is on the menu again at Tranquil Resort. Something also you shouldn’t miss!

Well … all the best & have fun like usual ;-)
