Miles of softy sandy beaches, with swaying coconut palms that stand in invitation and the warm tropical waters that beckon visitors for a swim are without a doubt the most alluring aspects of Koh Phangan. The island also boasts of a range of entertainment options that can keep visitors of all ages engaged.
Add to this the innumerable restaurants and spas spread across Koh Phangan which offer a veritable feast for the senses and it is easy to understand why the island is quickly gaining stellar reputation when it comes to beach vacations. Many visitors purchase Koh Phangan Villas to use as holiday homes after they have been to the island a few times.
Pristine environment: Koh phangan undoubtedly has some of the most stunning beaches in South East Asia; yet the shores of the island are not overpopulated and overrun by throngs of excited tourists. The shoreline which extends to several miles has innumerable secluded pockets that will appeal to the more discerning vacationers and visitors looking for a more serene holiday experience.
A myriad of entertainment options: Although Koh Phangan has managed to retain its natural charm; the island comes second to none in terms of the entertainment options on offer. From a leisurely walk through its dense forest lands to an exhilarating round of water sports and from a quiet fishing session to sailing out into the ocean under the cover of a starry night, you can enjoy them all when in Koh Phangan.
A perfect combination of urban decadence and natural splendor: While the island administration has judiciously preserved the natural wealth of Koh Phangan, this has not stopped some of the most luxurious hotels in the region from cropping up all over the island. So, after spending a day roughing it out in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand, you can always come back to delightful resorts that will pamper away the fatigue.
A range of accommodation choices: Koh phangan has held on steadfastly to its rustic charm despite the myriad of luxury resorts that offer their services all over the island. Within the bounds of Koh Phangan lie an astonishing variety of accommodation options from the modest beach huts that rarely cost more than a few bucks but do offer an unhindered natural experience to the magnificent bungalows that are often family run and offer a glimpse into native life.
Diverse topography and a range of flora and fauna: Although at first glimpse, Kog Phangan may appear to be the typical beach vacation destination with an impressive and un-spoilt shoreline, closer scrutiny will reveal that the island is a veritable tropical paradise. Because a dense rainforest has thrived at the feet of the undulating mountain range that lies at the heart of Koh Phanagan, more than half the island has been devoted to environmental pursuits and is designated as a protected national park.
Of course, no trip to this island paradise would be complete without attending its famed full moon party that is hosted every month on Haad Rin Nok Beach and sees a huge turnout of locals and tourists.
