The story of Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan on Skånegatan opened in 1994. The idea came to its founders on a beach on the island of the same name off Thailand's east coast, and the aim was to offer guests a small trip to paradise in the middle of Södermalm. It was started by brothers Thomas and Lasse Emblad; Lasse, a chef, came up with the plan.

Thai vegetables, herbs, beer and spices could not be bought in Sweden at the time, so they were imported straight from Thailand. The room was done up as a jungle with trees, timber, bamboo and wooden benches, and an in-house artist painted the walls. In one extension guests could even eat inside a tuk-tuk. According to ScandAsia the staff had grown from three to 55 by 2004, and a travel agency of the same name had opened around the corner.

Eftermiddagssol, according to Stoligt

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
