Koh Phangan Information:
No question, Koh Phangan has some of the best beaches anywhere in Thailand.
There are concrete roads to Had Rin, but we have warned you that the concrete roads are not in the best condition and unless you are a competitant motorbike rider then do not attempt to get to HadRin, as most accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the seven eleven at Baan Tai and pay about 40 Baht for a pickup over the mountains to Had Rin.
Since the last 18 years, Ko Phangan attracted an growing amount of visitors. Some of them religiously find their way back every year to the small paradise. What brings back those Koh Phangan lovers? Actually, there are a lot of reasons you could find to visit Phangan. Even though it is quite small in geographical terms many kinds of visitors can explore their own niche on Phangan. If you ask me, you should really consider visiting Ko Phangan.
Phangan has as well a number of upper class places to offer, to name just a few as example Mandalai Hotel or Sarikantang Resort. Both of them offering high quality service and a general high standard. Kho Phangan offers a lot of popular activities one being snorkeling at most of Kohpangan bays, one bay in particular is in the northeastern tip in the near of Ko Ma.
There are loads of ways to see the island, you can use one of the taxi for a little amount of Baht,or you are able to drive you can hire a moped or quad and do it in your own adgenda.
Phangan is approximately 2 1/2 hours away from Surat Thani Province and approximately 45 min. from Samui by ferry.
It is interesting the way quitness and party time can mix so perfectly on the island. On one side, you can participate in the famous fullmoon parties drawing partygoers with a wide range of music, a great location and party decoration.

For yoga interested people you have alternative resorts like Ananda or the Sanctuary, they have in their program things like and colonic fasting.
If jungle trekking, tasting local thai food is your sort of vacation activity, this island is just the right place. If you want to meeting new friends from from all over the world and enjoing one of the frequent parties, Koh Phangan is the place to be, as well.
The only exemption from the otherwise relaxing and quite island might be the Fullmoon when the east side of Haad Rin changes into a dance floor made of sand. If you don't want to participate or very loud music, do not worry on Kohpangan are various untouched spots, that are all over the Island like National Parks, mountains and waterfalls.
The south eastern part of Kho Phangan is the main party area including HaadRin and the full moon party beach. Nearly all of the area surrounding Had Rin is mountains making most of the excellent white beaches unaccessable by road, the only way to get to them is by longtail boat from Haad Rin.
