About Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is best known for being the location of the Full Moon Party, which is the largest beach party in South East Asia attracting between 10,000 and 30,000 visitors depending on the month. The Full Moon Party takes place in Haad Rin which is a 20 minute journey by shared taxi from Koh Phangan’s main ferry port in the town of Thong Sala. The standard fare is 200 THB per person one way.

As well as the Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan also has a year round casual laid back atmosphere with some really great beaches and an interior which is mostly dense tropical rain forest. The best beaches on Koh Phangan are located on the East Coast of the island which is now easily accessible via a concrete road running from Baan Tai on the south coast all the way up to Thong Nai Pan on the island’s East Coast. To get to Bottle Beach, to the north of Thong Nai Pan, however, you still need to take a 4 wheel drive vehicle or a boat as this is one of the few remaining parts of Koh Phangan which is yet to be connected to the rest of the island by a proper road.
