Koh Samui - Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is located about half an hour North by ferry from Samui and is widely tipped to become the next big Thai holiday destination.
As Samui developed into a full-scale international resort location, Koh Phangan took over as the budget travellers’ alternative.
Nowadays it is catching up with its big sister and already boasts a number of upscale resorts, although the roads and infrastructure remain basic.
The monthly full moon party attracts an average of five thousand revellers, many arriving several days beforehand on Haad Rin beach to build up to the big event. Beyond the party beaches, it’s still possible to find a more secluded island feeling on Koh Phangan, with swathes of untouched sand and some isolated natural attractions.
It’s also possible to travel by boat from Samui in the morning, have a look around and return in the evening.
Most of the boat operators are based on Big Buddha beach, which also has the main pier for Koh Phangan, but travel agents in Chaweng can also arrange tickets and pick ups.
