Best Hotels in Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is known worldwide for the Full Moon Party at Hat Rin but the island has evolved well beyond that. The west and north coasts offer some of the most tranquil beaches in the Gulf of Thailand, with yoga retreats, wellness resorts, and boutique guesthouses. Hat Rin remains the party epicentre; Thong Sala is the main town and transport hub; Haad Yao and Chaloklum are the serene alternatives.

Booking Tips for Koh Phangan

  • 1

    Full Moon Party accommodation must be booked 2–3 months in advance. Prices triple for the Full Moon weekend. Check the event calendar before booking.

  • 2

    Ferry connections from Koh Samui (45 minutes) and Surat Thani are frequent. The Lomprayah catamaran is fastest and most reliable.
