Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan’s combination of untouched natural beauty and idyllic beaches makes it the perfect Thailand holiday destination whether you want to indulge in an alternative health retreat, enjoy the dynamic beach nightlife or simply relax and enjoy the scenery.

The attractive golden sands of Koh Phangan have traditionally been frequented by budget backpackers who have been drawn to the resort’s hedonistic full moon parties. However, the clientele of Koh Phangan has diversified in recent years, with families, couples and honeymooners enjoying the substantial and varied charms of the area. Koh Phangan is also popular amongst those seeking to indulge their spiritual side, with plenty of options for yoga, meditation and other Ayurvedic, holistic and alternative health retreats.
