Ko Phangan Travel Forum

Hi, me and a friend will be travelling to Koh Phangan in August for the Full moon party on 28th. Have never been here before and so would like to have a few suggestions on where to stay, best location and best resort etc. Thanks.

It doesn't matter where you stay, you will probably pass out on the beach. The main beach (forgot the name) is where most of the partying takes place. I'm a little older, so we stayed on another beach and had the option of taking a boat taxi over to the party. They run all night. That way, if you need a day of peace and quiet after full moon, you won't have the craziness of the main tourist area. Just an opinion.

You can stay on the full moon beach, Haad Rin but will have to get there approx 1 week before the party to ensure you get a room. Try mountain huts or theres another couple of establishments high up on the hills. Its beautiful up there and only around £10 night. On the beach it can be noisy, especially if you've got a hangover and want to get a good nights sleep. You can also hear the long boats at 5am so not too good, best to go up and back into the mountains, go up to the left of the mountain bar, you can see the whole of both beaches from your hut (sunset and sunrise beach). Theres monkeys in the trees and everything, have fun - dont get too smashed.

hey im jst bak from thailand i stayed in palita lodge was very nice and very reasonable! everywhere is alot more expensive during the full moon so you should be prepared! when you stay in palita breakfast is included aswell! good luck with it im so jealous wish i was going back!
