Sometimes Low Season can be even more amazing than high season here on Koh Phangan! We’re not sure when Low Season officially begins but you can look at it in terms of two things; the weather (it gets hotter) and Songkran (the marking of Thai new year). Using these two things as a guideline for low season means that it starts mid to late April. We still have some good quality high season weeks to experience but as it starts to wind down we thought we would prepare you for that sweet calmer time that is just around the corner…

So what to expect if you are visiting during this time?

It is more quiet with less cars on the roads. Beaches are empty and you have the beach to yourself. Empty saunas, empty swimming pools, no one to make a line at the shop, you get served faster and more friendly in the restaurants. The massage places have more time to take really care of you and address your problems with more intensive care since there is not a pressure of another client already waiting for turn. Many advantages in the low season here.

One of them is getting the time to really discover or rediscover Koh Phangan.

Take a tour around the beaches, check out the snorkel sites, see the waterfalls and maybe actually try the Zip lining in the jungle that you thought to do so many times! And none of the adventures will be crowded with tourists and noise in the low season.

Take a roundabout Koh Phangan beaches  - boat trip and discover all sites of this lovely island that Koh Phangan really is. Go on a hike/kayak tour to isolated beaches through rough jungle tracks or relax in a pool at stunning viewpoints.

Now is the time to do all the things you didn’t get to do in high season because all your friends were here to keep you busy with party and recovering if you are a longer term resident!

Don’t be put off that no one will be here, there may not be ‘so many’ tourists coming but there is a nice steady flow of lovely people arriving still daily and it can be easier to make friends with less chaos and hectic vibes around you.

One of the best things about this time for travellers is that it is cheaper and many places will be offering special deals. You may even find that you don’t necessarily have to book in advance your accommodation (depending on taste) as there are a lot of free bungalows, beds and hotel rooms available at this time.

Everywhere is less packed, you can enjoy a romantic dinner without the restaurants being full to the brim and find that the beaches are more like the deserted paradise you imagined.


The people are more relaxed at this time without having to cater to hundreds of people at once so it is a great opportunity to meet and speak more with locals, you can even improve your Thai language skills this way.

It is a great time on Koh Phangan to learn or partake in something new. Tours around the island or to nearby Angthong, Koh Tao and Samui will have less people on them and many classes including the popular Muay Thai or Yoga will also be less busy, giving you more of a personal service than at times of peak season where everything is fully booked.

You can still enjoy the island’s bustling nightlife with markets and bars to browse and live it up a bit but with less crowds, more space to move and a calmer atmosphere to enjoy and take it all in.

The Full Moon Party and other events still take place once a month so you can shake out those dance moves at one of the world's most famous parties, meet other travellers and experience this epic event but with a smaller crowd which to be fair is still on a grandiose scale which you won’t forget!

Let us all take a nice deep breath, breathe in the calm air that is just a few weeks away and enjoy it while you can until the busy times arrive...
