Party on party scene some have named Koh Phangan the Ibiza of Asia. As a natural paradise island in the Southern Gulf of Thailand, Ko Pha Ngan serves as popular getaway from all the stress at home, where one can enjoy relaxing on quiet deserted beaches and enjoy the under water world of Phangan and go for a dive not far from the distinctive island of Koh Ma. Located only 18 km north of Samui in the Gulf of Siam is the island of Koh Phangan. The Island is much quieter and laid back than Koh Samui, just with the exception of the Full Moon party where a estimated number of 5 - 10,000 visitors come on the island for the famous full moon party on the east side beach of Haad Rin.

One exemption from the otherwise laid back and quite island is the Fullmoon when Party stoped and another day starts in island has to show to visitors. Since the last 15 years, Koh Phanganhas attracted an enormous amount of visitors. More of them religiously find their way back every year to Phangan. What kind of people are those Island enthusiasts? Actually, there is lot of reasons to visit Phangan. Even though it is tiny in geographical terms many types of travelers can discover their own niche on Phangan. In my opinion, you should definitely consider visiting Ko Phangan. Ko Phangan's climateis almost always a perfect for a holiday. Blue-sky days and a nice ocean breeze are the norm. For the purists, end of December to the end of March will be the perfect vacation island weather.
