POST, BANKING & COMMUNICATION (P.B.C.) PAGE


Information

'Bovy' Supermarket on the main street in Thong Sala leading away from the pier, sells just about everything you'll need - sunglasses, sunscreen, liquor, snorkelling gear, cereal, cosmetics, even frisbees and fireworks. This is more or less mirrored in Had Rin too.
The monthly 'Phangan Newsletter' contains information about transport and activities on the island.

Money

If you're continuing on to other areas of the islandand need to do some banking, Thong Sala is the place to do it. Krung Thai Bank, Siam City Bank and Siam Commercial Bank all buy and sell travellers cheques and arrange money transfers and credit card cash advances; Siam Commercial generally has the best service.
Hadrin also has some foreign exchange services as complete as those available in Thong Sala.

Post and Communications

The post office is in the southern end of town in the direction of Hadrin; its open Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to noon and 1 to 4.30 pm and on Saturday from 9 am to noon. Phangan Travel Booking Center and Shine Travel can arrange long distance phone calls aswell as faxes

Medical Services

The new Koh Pha-Ngan Hospital, about 2.5km north of Thong Sala off the road to Chaloklum, offers 24hr emergency services. Anything that can wait till Bangkok should wait, where medical facilities are of a higher quality.


Email and Internet Access

Phangan Batik in Thong Sala offers email services and Internet access, aswell as a couple of Email cafes in Hadrin....but pretty much , most Bungalow operations will have their own Computers which you can use for Email/Internet access...so don't panic, you'll be able to get 'online' wherever you are.
