 Koh Phangan - Another ideal destination for travelers who prefer less crowded, more private beaches set in a laid-back atmosphere. However, this is also a very hip place to be as the island hosts the world famous, and perhaps the biggest beach party on this planet the full moon party on Hat Rin.
Covering an area of 191 square kilometers, Koh Pha-ngan is located 20 kilometers directly north of Koh Samui, or approximately 100 kilometers from Suratthani. The best time to visit Koh Pha-ngan is from February to September. Interesting attractions include secluded and virgin beaches around the island, a hilltop temple called Wat Khao Tham which is ideal for meditation, Than Sadet Waterfall, and the Namtok Phaeng National Park. Renting a motorcycle to explore the island is recommended as there is a lot to see and do.
It is famous for its full moon party at Haad Rin Beach and as a backpackers destination. Koh Phangan has two sister islands: the larger Koh Samui to the south and the smaller Koh Tao to the north.
