Koh Phangan is Thailand’s fifth largest island, located only 30 minutes boat ride from Koh Samui.
Predominantly made up of granite, Koh Phangan’s almost unspoilt beauty is accented by a hilly, lush tropical jungle interior, many idyllic, long white-sand beaches and over 20 nearby diving sites.
The main fairy sailing points are Thong-Sala and Haad-Rin, there you can find the piers, ATM machines and banks.
Phangan’s main claim to fame is largely due to its famous Full Moon Party, ‘Black Moon’ and just about any other moon beach parties. It is estimated that the Full Moon celebrations attracting about 10,000 to 30,000 travelers every month.
However, during the past 10 years Phangan’s touristic feature are drastically changing.
Making new roads around the island has made it easy to travel out of the main port areas into the amazing scenery of Phangan, many new places became popular, and the full moon party is being replaced by many other attractions such as yoga lessons, diving and snorkeling, practicing meditation, waterfall tracking, beach exploring, fishing trips and much more.
