The transparent blue sea, white sand, and green hills running through the centre of the island are a winning combination in Ko Phangan, located to the north of its bigger sister, Ko Samui. Because the island is less engulfed by tourists - with the exception of the madness of Hat Rin Nai during its full moon festival - you'll enjoy a pleasant stay here. Idyllic beaches, such as Thong Nai Pan Yai and Bantai, are perfect for those looking to laze on the beach all day, while Ko Phagan's coral reefs offer plentiful opportunities to explore its underwater world. A full range of services are available in Thong Sala, which you'll pass through en route from Na Thon.
