Koh Phangan Island is located in the southeast of Thailand in the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Phangan is only a 30-minute ferry ride from Koh Samui, making it easy to hop from one another.
Getting to Koh Phangan: Most travelers arrive at Koh Samui airport, then take the ferry to Koh Phangan.
Alternately, you can take a ferry from Donsak, Surat Thani, or Koh Tao Island.
Koh Phangan is famous for its beautiful beaches and bays. Despite its reputation for hosting full-moon parties once a month, this phenomenon is limited to the Haad Rin area.
Koh Phangan has much more to offer tourists not seeking the party holiday.
Koh Phangan offers a varied choice of accommodations, from budget to 5-star. Still, you can find low-cost beach bungalows with hammocks, just like picture postcards.
There are breathtaking viewpoints, fabulous sunsets, and funky, chilled-out bars and restaurants.
Koh Phangan is home for the yoga lovers, and with that comes a varied range of vegetarian and vegan delights.
For a multi-destination travel itinerary, Koh Phangan is that perfect place to finish off. Wind down after activities, tours or trips, or simply too much traveling.
