Coral Bar Tipping Board, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Coral Bar Koh Phangan is located in the North of the island, in Haad Khom beach. Haad Khom is one of the most beautiful and remote beaches in the island. What makes this bar unforgettable is its resident, a pig called DukDik, who is cruising always in the neighborhood. This board is one of many hanging on walls of the bar.
