Surrounded by crystal clear waters, Kohphangan changed in the last years to a scuba divers top destination in South Thailand.
The island has also a selection of luxury resorts , to name just a few as example Garden Lodge or Sunset Cove. All of them have a very good service and a general high standard.
Situated only 18 km from the northern side of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Siam is the island of Koh Phangan. The Island is much quieter and relaxed than Koh Samui, only with the exception of the Full Moon beach party where a estimated number of 5 - 10,000 visitors come on the island for the infamous full moon party on the east side beach of Haad Rin.
Once the full moon party stoped and another day starts in Had Rin you'll be astounded to find how many things more Koh Phangan has to show to visitors.
Located in the middle of the Marine Park consists of more than 40 small islands, endowed with pristine island next to Koh Samui, Ko Pha Ngan serves as popular getaway place, where one may go relaxing on quiet white sand island of Ko Ma
The first Full Moon begun with a handful people having a party at the east side of Haad Rin in the late 80's. They had a party in the shining moon and more backpackers turned up every party. Currently there are a estimated number of 8000-16000 hippies who are participating and enjoying a party to hardcore, techno, and other dance music styles.international and local DJ's deliver the music from the restaurants at Haad Rin East Side and from the beach.
On Kohpangan you can see typical picture-postcard views of shady palms , crystal clear water and amazing mountain views.
One exemption from the otherwise laid back and quite island is the Full Moon Party Beach when Haad Rin Nok changes to a dance clubs constructed of sand. If you don't fell like party or the kind of music they are playing, do not worry on Kohpangan are a lot amazing beaches, that are not hard to find like mountains, fishing spots and waterfalls.
