Here are some really options for accommodation and cozy bungalow resorts on nearly all of Koh Phangan's beaches and you can book them on this website. Kho Phangan is a amazing island northeast of Surat Thani in Thailand.
As a natural paradise island in the South-central Gulf of Siam, Koh Phangan serves as the ideal getaway retreat.
You can use the roads to Haad Rin, but we have warned you that the roads are not in the best condition and unless consider yourself a good motorcycle rider then do not try to get to Haad Rin, as most accidents involving motorcycles happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7/11 at Ban Tai and pay approx 50 Baht for a pickup over the hills to HaadRin.
Like it's neighbour island Koh Tao, Koh Phangan was initially found by backpackers looking for an escape from the overcrowded island of Koh Samui and today, Koh Phangan has an amazing array of daytime activities, parties, bungalow resorts and spas.
Once the Fullmoon Party has ended and the sun has set on Had Rin you'll be astounded to notice how many things more the island has to offer.
Located around 18 km north of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand is the island of Koh Phangan. Being generally much more quieter and laid back than Samui, just with the exception of the full moon party that attracts every month around 5 - 10,000 visitors come on the island for the infamous full moon party in Haad Rin.
Many think the island is only a island for backpackers or young people enjoying the Fullmoon Party on Haad Rin beach. But Phangan is a large island and the party is only a tiny part of the island.
