Koh Phangan island is approximately 65km from the mainland of Thailand and lies between the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Tao. The island is best known for its full moon parties where you can dance the night away, but it also has beautiful thick jungle and long white sandy beaches as well as amazing scuba diving sites.

Rent a scooter for a fun way to discover the best sights and beaches on the island. Bottle Beach and Haad Rin Nok, the full moon beach would be the most popular but there are also some hidden gems along the west coast. Cruise out to Phaeng waterfall to enjoy the views and swim in the natural pools, which makes for a breath-taking experience. Hike to the top of Khao Ra mountain, where fantastic views of the bay await you. Spend the day on a boat cruise at the picturesque Ang Thong Marine National Park with stops for snorkelling, kayaking and beautiful beaches. Chill out and enjoy beautiful sunsets in some of the island's cool sunset bars. Stroll down to the Phantip night markets for some amazing food, souvenirs, and clothes. Party the night away at the legendary full moon party, but don’t panic if you miss it; you can try the half moon, black moon and even the waterfall party which are just as good.

Koh Phangan is known as a party island so it's ideal for young, energetic singles and couples who like to party the night away. There is more to this island than just the full moon party, so it also draws families and friends who just want a relaxing get-away. There are many hotels, resorts, spas, beachside villas and bungalows available here to cater for all types of tourists needs.
