Welcome to Paradise!
Mr.T: You enjoy parties ? -- Yes, this is the right place for you. But Koh Phangan has much more to offer. Just check it out here... In Koh Phangan the word Hat for Beach is mostly spelled Haad. We use Haad, too.
Koh Phangan (also spelled Ko Pha Ngan) lies right next to the also popular islands Koh Tao and Koh Samui, but has a totally different character and feel. For many people Phangan Island is more a way of life than a place on the map.
Koh Phangan offers a unique versatility of possibilities in a wonderful natural surrounding. The number of people who can't resist the magic of the island is growing every day.
Koh Phangan has a rough and untamed setting. One third of the island consists of mountains with jungle vegetation which rise up to 630 m above sea level. All coasts of the island are filled with lush green that grows all the way down to the ocean. The beaches you find everywhere around the island are fringed with palm trees and freckled with big boulders.
The name Koh Phangan has been connected strongly with the monthly full moon party, by now famous around the world. But the island has so much more to offer. In some of Phangan's remote locations, be it wonderful bays, hiking routes or small fishing villages you don't even hear or see anything of the party hassle at all.
On Koh Phangan you can meditate, attend Yoga classes, learn Thai massage. You can enjoy a great variety of culinary delights, visit live concerts and get to know interesting people in bars and on dance floors. You can spend your day wake boarding, diving, kite surfing or mountain biking. You can cruise around on your motorbike for hours or dare a tour through the jungle.
Or you just settle down for a few days in one of the many wonderful places the island has to offer, relax, and give in to the magic. It's not unlikely that days turn into weeks.
The descriptions of the locations on the island are in the following order:
