Since the last 15 years, Koh Phanganhas attracted an steady growing amount of visitors. A few of them religiously find their way back every year to the island. Who are those Phanganlovers? Well, there is lot of reasons to visit Koh Phangan. Even it is tiny in geographical terms many kinds of tourists can explore their own favorite place on Phangan. In my opinion, you should really consider traveling to Ko Phangan.Koh Phanganis a small island northeast of Surat Thani in Thailand. Even Phangan was first visited by backpackersabout twentyfive years ago, Koh Phangan was inhabited already over two thousand years ago by sea gypsies originating from Malaysia. The area was then settled by Chinese people coming from Hainan fleeing the economic hardship in their country.

For a lot of visitors Fullmoon Party is most important of the main attractions on the island. Sometimes up to 15.0000 party hungry FMP fans visiting to Koh Pha Ngan monthly if only to enjoy the Full Moon Party. A place to stay is available everywhere on Phanganin family like resort and beachfront hotel to quite fair prices if you not bookingfor high season. Located only 12 miles north of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailandis the island of Koh Phangan. Being generally much more quieter and relaxed than its neighbor, just with the exception of the Full Moon beach party where between 5 - 10,000 visitors arrive for the infamous full moon party on the east side beachof HaadRin. Better do a reservationearly for Peak Season like New Year or full moon party times can be a useful advise. Places like Milky Bay Resort and Sarikantanghave internet sites with online booking.

If relaxing in a hammock, tasting local thai food is your sort of holiday activity, Phangan Koh Phanganis just the right place. If you want to meeting new friends from from all over the world and enjoing one of the frequent parties, Phanganis the place to be, as well. There are roads to HaadRin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest condition and unless you are a competitant motorbike rider then don't try to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorcycles happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorbike at the seven eleven at BanTai and pay approx 60 Baht for a taxi over the mountains to Had Rin. Phanganis approximately 2.5 hours from Don Sak and approximately forty five minutes from Koh Samui Island by ferry.
