Ko Pha Ngan (เกาะพะง้น, pronounced KOH pa-nGan) is an island off the eastern Gulf coast of Thailand, halfway between the islands of Ko Samui and Ko Tao. It is known as a land of coconut trees and, above all, the world famous full moon parties.
Most tourists who visit Koh Pha Ngan for the Full Moon or Half Moon Parties should make sure they have their hotel rooms booked in advance as the area around Haad Rin becomes very crowded, and accommodation can be hard to find. You may not necessarily want to sleep on the beach, or in one of the more expensive hotels, so book ahead of time. |
