When you think of Koh Phangan, you might associate it with full moon parties, while the parties do exist and are pretty legendary, that’s not all of what this place can offer you. Located in the Southeast part of Thailand, this Island is the backpackers dream. Go diving or snorkeling, explore the water life like you’ve never seen it before. Night markets are amazing and this is definitely not the time to shy away from foods you’ve never tried. When you’re ready to get to know your next stop, it’s usually only a bus and a ferry away. We offer rides to Phuket, Koh Lantra, Suratthani and much much more.
