PARADISE ISLAND

The most popular of the beaches, Haad Rin and Fullmoon Party is the world's best known Fullmoon Party is one of the main events on Phangan was before a backpackers destination, by now a different type and a mixed range of visitors arrives here. One thing most of visitors have in common, visitors want to find a nice and interesting place. One exemption might be the Fullmoon party when Had Rin Nok changes into a dancefloor.

The least cost intensive way to travel from Bangkok to Koh Phangan is to buy joint tickets from Songserm Travel for ferry and speed boats, bus, trains, air to the island. Or you can get an 1 hour flight by Bangkok Airways daily from BKK to Koh Samui and take the catamaran speed boat to the island. As a natural paradise island not far from Samui and Koh Tao, Phangan is popular place, here most can go deserted beaches or try to snorkel and learning to dive at the tiny island of Koh Ma. The island of Ko Phangan is one of the country's true tropical gems. Blessed with sunny beaches and hidden bays, visitors from many different countries come again year after year to experience the unique Thai culture. Koh Panghan used to be the hippy heaven, currently a 'wider range' of tourists travel here. But they all want to find a relaxed and easy going place.

The climate in Thailand can be highly tropical, warm and damp. The weather are caused by monsoons that create 3 distinguishable weather seasons in Northern and Central Siam and 2 other seasons in southerly part of the Kingdom of Thailand. In the south monsoon approx May to October is warm and the sky is cloud covered, whereas the north-east monsoon around November to Mar is dry and relatively low temperature. Simmilar to Samui, Koh Phangan is enjoying substantial growth in tourist arrival numbers also it is well know its own right for its monthly notorious Full Moon Party right at Haad Rin beach. Due to its massive party scene some media have dubbed Phangan the Ibiza of the east. We can recommend as a private place to stay, check out Haad Tien a quite isolated bay, with only 1 resort.
