Koh Phangan is a small island found in the Gulf of Thailand, just a short distance from both Koh Tao and Koh Samui. It is most famous for its full moon parties on Hat Rin which see thousands of people descend on its shores every month for an all night-long beach party.

Koh Phangan is not really regarded as a children’s destination, but that being said, there are a number of activities for children to enjoy that will bring them closer to nature and ensure that they have the chance to experience new things. The beaches are stunning, the elephants exciting and the waters inviting.

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival): this world-famous festival is celebrated by all Chinese-Thais as well as Chinese holidaymakers, and highlights include firecrackers and lion dancers, street parades and the spring cleaning of homes. Streets are often lined with stunning lanterns and incense.

Koh Phangan boasts some stunning beaches that pay stiff competition to others in the Gulf of Thailand. Many of the islands attractions are focused on these beaches as there are so many to enjoy. Other top attractions include the island’s waterfalls, the main town of Thong Sala and the Angthong National Marine Park.

Samui Airport is the nearest airport to Koh Phangan and offers direct flights from a range of domestic destinations such as Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai as well as daily flights from Singapore and Hong Kong. Bangkok Air owns the airport and is the only airline operating flights in and out.
