We spent five days exploring all the best things to do on Koh Phangan. So from the beaches to the viewpoints, here’s everything you need to plan your trip.
1. Beach Hop
If you’re heading to the Thai islands, then one of the top things to do on Koh Phangan is to explore all of the best beaches.
From the famous Haad Rin Beach, home to the full moon party, to the lesser known Leela Beach there are some absolute gems scattered around the island.
Koh Phangan was home to some of our favourite beaches in Thailand!
If you are looking to take part in the famous full moon party From Koh Samui: Van and Speedboat Full Moon Party Transfer will get you there.
2. Visit The Waterfalls
With a few to choose from, the Koh Phangan waterfalls are a popular tourist favourite when it comes to things to do on Koh Phangan.
The most well known being Phaeng Waterfall, just be sure not to make the same mistake as us and visit in the middle of dry season!
We don’t like to choose favourites but Paradise Waterfall was a great day out with the local kids!
3. Thong Sala Night Market
An absolute MUST add on your things to do on Koh Phangan list!
We ate at Thong Sala Night Market pretty much every evening during our trip!
With every food you can think of, from local fried meats to vegan and vegetarian options, the food varies from 20 baht snacks to 100 baht meals.
Also don’t forget to visit the Saturday Night Market that takes over the whole beachfront street.
4. Slip N Fly
If you’re looking for an alternative day out on Koh Phangan then Slip N Fly may be your thing!
Slip N Fly is aimed at the travellers, the chillers, the couples and the party goers. All of whom are looking for a water filled day out on the island.
As the name suggests you can Slip N Fly into the plunge pools, shoot basketballs into hoops and have a game of water volleyball. All whilst taking in the island sun and chilling with friends.
5. Amsterdam Bar
Koh Phangan is full of bars and awesome chill spots. Some however come with some awesome viewpoints!
Our favourite of the bunch was Amsterdam Bar. Known on the island as the best place to watch a sunset. With good vibes and views overlooking the ocean!
There are others plenty of others though including 360 Bar and Bluerama to name a couple.
Either way catching sunset at a rooftop bar is a great way to spend your final evening on Koh Phangan!
