CITY GUIDE
Koh Phangan
Koh Phangan is far more varied than its Full Moon Party reputation alone suggests. Haad Rin in the southeast remains the island’s most famous nightlife and event zone, but Thong Sala and Baan Tai form the practical arrival and service corridor, Sri Thanu and the west coast are strongly associated with sunsets, wellness and longer stays, and the north and east open into fishing villages, quieter beaches, diving and a distinctly slower island rhythm. Add waterfalls, viewpoints, jungle, yoga communities and long stretches of coast, and Koh Phangan becomes one of Thailand’s most versatile island destinations.
