Find out what to do on Koh Phangan depending on what you are looking for and check out what type of traveler you are!

The Party animal
If you are a true party animal and are looking for the best nights out, Koh Phangan is perhaps the king of your bucket list. The island has a reputation of hosting the best parties, and especially the famous Full Moon party attracts like-minded people from all over the world. Don’t know where to start? It is easy to instantly connect with people if you stay in a hostel and pre-party with other travelers at the bar and by the pool! Hot spot: The bar at Phanganist Hostel has special offers every night and you can play pool or join fun drinking games like beer pong. Chill in the pool with a bucket while socializing and getting ready for the party night out!

The Adventure seeker
You absolutely need it – Thrill and Adrenaline! If boredom is an alien concept for you, Koh Phangan is your perfect holiday destination. Never dived before? Try out something new, get your PADI certificate and enjoy diving in the beautiful warm waters in the gulf of Thailand. Another popular activity you can sign up for is Kite Surfing. Let the wind blow your mind and enjoy the beach view from the top of the waves! Rent a Kayak, spend some hours stand up paddling or, if you want to experience a glimpse of the true culture of Thailand, sign up for Muay Thai classes.


The Nature/Animal Lover
Although Koh Phangan is a popular tourist destination there are plenty of opportunities to escape crowded areas to reconnect with nature. Get your hiking shoes ready and explore some of the numerous waterfalls and viewpoints on the island! For example you can visit the tall Wang Sai Waterfall and explore it from above and below. You can drive close to it by motorbike and you will arrive after a short 10 minutes’ walk. Explore the nicest viewpoints at Phaeng Waterfall after a 35min hike and at the rocks at Bottle Beach (1 ½ hour roundtrip). After the hike you can relax and chill at one of the picturesque beaches or recharge your batteries at the pool of your hostel. If you want to get active and help animals in need, visit the animal shelter “animal care for strays”. If you are not into diving and still want to enjoy the underwater world of the area, join a snorkel trip and explore unspoiled coral reefs around the West and the Northern Coast of the island. As a true animal lover you might want to think twice before you join any tours that involve elephant riding or taking pictures with monkeys. If you want to actively participate in keeping the island clean, join our Phanganist Hostel Trash picking events!

Travelling long term and always on a budget? No problem! Koh Phangan got plenty of options for you without draining your wallet.
