Koh Phangan Vacation Guide

Koh Phangan, most famous for its Full Moon Parties is still one of Thailand's beautiful islands. It is located in the Surat Thani (or: Suratthani) province, just north of Koh Samui.

In the day, you can relax on a hammock or work on getting your ideal tan on the beach, while in the night, you can indulge in its brilliant night life. The full moon party, being the most famous night fiesta, is held every month on a full moon night and is a good excuse for party-goers to get wild and party. The beach of Haad Rin is transformed into an open air party arena, with thousands of people, music and alcohol. A half-moon party is also held two weeks before/after the full moon - another reason to party!

Having said that the island is increasingly going up-market and offering some stylish accommodation for all tourists. The first generation of back-packers are now returning with their families.

This is a large island and the party is just a tiny part of it. There are many other beautiful beaches that are worth a visit, such as Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai, located in the north eastern side of the island.

Chalok Lam Bay, located in the northern part of the island offers a very tranquil location with a fantastic stretch of golden sand. For those who prefer some peace and quite, this area is an ideal place to escape from the major partying in the south.
