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.

Koh Phangan's yoga and wellness scene on the west coast (Srithanu) has grown to rival Bali — worth a visit even if you only do one class.
