| Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach | | 2008-08-04 00:16:38 | | An Australian couple, Steve, and I shared a pick-up ride to Thong Nai Pan Noi, a quieter beach on Kho Phangan’s northeast coast. The concrete road gave way to rutted dirt half way there. The interior of the island was thick with jungle cover. As we approached our destination, I was surprised [...]... | | By: GoBackpacking | | |

| Kayaking Ang Thong National Marine Park | | 2008-07-25 00:56:32 | |
The real life inspiration for the beach in Alex Garland’s novel, “The Beach,” is part of the Ang Thong National Marine Park. As I was finding the cost of living noticeably higher in Thailand than Nepal or India, I decided to adopt a more prudent approach to my sightseeing. In other words, Mr. [...]... | | By: GoBackpacking | | |

| THONG SALA - 3 | | 2008-06-14 08:55:46 | | On a quiet hillside above Ban Tai, 4km from Thong Sala, Wat Khao Tham holds ten-day meditation retreats most months of the year; the American and Australian teachers emphasize compassion and loving kindness as the basis of mental development. Only forty people can attend each retreat, so it’s best to pre-register; for further information, write to Wat Khao Tham, PO Box 18, Pha Ngan Island, Surat Thani 84280, where the schedule of retreats is posted. If you need to stay around Thong Sala, walk 800m north out of town to Siriphun. The owner is helpful, the food very good and the bungalows are clean and well positioned along the beach; all have showers and mosquito screens on the windows, and an extra wad of baht buys air-con and one of the island’s few bathtubs. Alternatively, Charm Beach Resort, a friendly, sprawling place only 1500m southeast of Thong Sala, has a wide variety of decent bungalows and good Thai food. The incongruous white high-rise overshadowing Thong Sala’s pier... | | By: Islands and Beaches Information of Thailand | | |

| THONG SALA - 2 | | 2008-06-12 10:20:59 | | In the vicinity of Thong Sala, an easy excursion can be made to the grandiosely termed Than Sadet-Pha Ngan Island National Park, which contains Pang waterfall, Pha Ngan’s biggest drop, and a stunning viewpoint overlooking the south and west of the island. The park lies 4km northeast of Thong Sala off the road to Chaloaklam – if you don’t have a bike, take a Chaloaklam bound songthaew as far as Ban Madeuawaan, and then it’s a one-kilometer signposted walk east. A roughly circular trail has been laid out through the park, as mapped out by the signboard in the car park. The main fall – bouncing down in stages over the hard, grey stone – is a steep 250m walk up a forest path. The trail then continues for over 1km upriver beyond the falls, before skirting through thick rainforest to the viewpoint and back to the car park in a couple of hours. The long, straight south coastis well served by songthaews and motorbike taxis from Thong Sala, and is lined with bungalows, especially... | | By: Islands and Beaches Information of Thailand | | |

| THONG SALA - 1 | | 2008-06-12 10:20:36 | | THONG SALA is a port of entrance and little more, where the incoming ferries are met by touts sent to escort travelers to bungalows elsewhere on the Pha Ngan Island. In front of the pier, transportation to the rest of the island (songthaews, jeeps and motorbike taxis) congregates by a dusty row of banks, travelers’ restaurants, supermarkets, scuba-diving outfits and motor bike and jeep rental places. If you go straight ahead from the pier, you can turn right onto the town’s high street, a leafy mix of shops and houses that’s ghostly and windswept at night. A short way down here you’ll find laundries and, set back on the west side of the street, the multitalented Phangan Batik, which, besides selling batiks, rents out good-quality nountain bikes and offers internet access. Further on are a couple of clinics and, about 500m from the pier, the post office. Thong Sala’s sprinkling of travel agents can organize train and plane tickets, and visa extensions, and they sometimes put ... | | By: Islands and Beaches Information of Thailand | | |

| Shoe Trend: Jeweled Thong Sandals | | 2008-05-20 14:07:23 | | Flip-flops, also known as thongs, are backless sandals consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap that passes between the big and second toes and around either side of the foot. They appear to have been inspired by traditional Japanese woven or wooden soled sandals.Mystique Turquoise Thong Elegant turquoise stones sit atop gold metallic straps and ensconced in gold tone metal bezels on Mystique flat leather sandals.Many think of thong sandals only when they're thinking casual, but the flip-flop is not the only style. All that glitters is now making its way to the shoe department with oversized jewels and embellishments on the simple thong sandal. A heeled thong can be dressy and sexy – metallics and colored gemstones add a glamorous touch. For a hot look without a lot of pain, try low heeled sandals with some glitz and glam.

| The Tale Of Jason Giambi And The Golden Thong | | 2008-05-16 12:28:00 | | Franz Lidz/Portfolio Magazine (hat tip River Ave. Blues):Jason Giambi has a deep, dark secret. Deeper than his compulsion to sleep on the side of the bed nearest the door, and darker than his dream of growing up to be a heavy-metal musician. The deepest, darkest secret harbored by the New York Yankees first baseman is that whenever he is in a prolonged hitting funk, he wears a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong under his uniform. "I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," he confides. Over Giambi's checkered career in the Bronx, he has left the "golden thong" in the lockers of slumping teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robin Ventura, and Robinson Cano. "All of them wore it and got hits," he reports. "The thong works every time."
