Current Koh Phangan in 2017

Koh Phangan is one of 3 islands in the Gulf of Thailand, it sits between the largest island of Koh Samui and the smaller Koh Tao and you can find everything you would want to do on the island which has been famous for its Full Moon Party. It is what makes Koh Phangan unique in all of Asia and all around the world.

This amazing project gathers young people, still innocent souls, from all around the world, mostly for the first and maybe the only time, to celebrate with each other like only young people can.

Koh Phangan is also becoming much more well known for its good quality underground House music scene with international djs being booked at all of the parties which accelerates its reputation above just the neon army and bucket culture of Full Moon. With Marco Loco joining Phangan on a more permanent basis from Ibiza and djs such as Alle Farben, MUUI, Anthony Attalla, Daniel Sanchez and the underground Berlin crew coming over to this tiny island to play, Phangan must be getting whispered about on the dancefloors around the globe and has got a thriving sound going on.

But did you know that Koh Phangan offers more than just a chance to party? The island is quickly becoming a popular place for its Yoga and has lots of schools especially on its West coast that offer Yoga, Spirituality, Tantra and other similar courses.

Scuba Diving is also increasing in popularity because of its close proximity to the famous Dive Site of Sail Rock. All of the dive schools here offer a comprehensive list of PADI courses from beginner, divemaster and more.

The island is mostly protected land and so this is what keeps Koh Phangan from being over developed like its bigger neighbour Koh Samui. You can take tours to go and visit the natural waterfalls, coconut groves, beautiful jungle viewpoints and of course the famous sunsets that are a culture within themselves on this tropical paradise.

Koh Phangan is becoming increasingly more popular with families and also young professional couples. In the Northeast part of the island you will find the area of Thong Nai Pan, this is possibly one of the best beaches on the island and so attracted the attention of luxury resorts. This area is ideal for families with children and also young people who want to be a bit further from the parties yet can still experience a true taste of exotic paradise whilst being taken great care of in this tropical area which boasts white soft sands, turquoise sea which is perfect for swimming and enough amenities for a wonderful holiday.

So whatever you are looking for on Koh Phangan you will be able to find it, you can chose to immerse yourself in the wild nightlife and Moon parties or chose to be as far away from it so it will be as though you wouldn’t even know they exist.

One thing is for sure though, everyone who visits Koh Phangan feels that same ‘magical’ effect on themselves and many people return year after year.
