Things to Do in Thong Sala
|
Soi Krung Thai really comes to life once the sun sets. Located in the heart of Koh Phangan's main town of Thong Sala, the road is closed to vehicle traffic and becomes a 200 metre walking street with festival of neon lights, restaurants, bars, chic boutiques and shops. Jammed most nights of the year, it is quite a friendly and lively place to wandering around. If you are looking for a good night out in Thong Sala, Soi Krung Thai should be your first stop. |
