About

Introduction

Ko Pha Ngan is an island in the southern Gulf of Thailand. It is part of the Surat thani Province and the Samui Archipelago. Ko Pha Ngan is famous for it’s Full Moon Party at Haad Rin Beach and as a massive backpacker destination. The island is featured heavily in Alex Garland’s novel “The Beach”. The Full Moon parties here are a monthly dance and music festival scheduled at every full moon. Generally these festivals attract almost 30,000 people per month. Recently, steps have been taken to make Ko Pha Ngan a more family friendly location, by promoting natural attractions and stepping up the police presence. There are now a number of roadblocks with stop and search procedures, and undercover police. There is also a lesser known Half-moon party held at the half moon of each month. It is located in the jungle, inland from Ban Tai, requiring tuk-tuk, taxi or bike transportation to and from. The island isn’t all built for the crazy antics of backpackers seeing a few wild nights. Ko Pha Ngan has plenty to offer as far as natural beauty and things to do for the more refined traveler as well. It’s peaceful northern beaches make it a great place for families and couples alike. The western coast has developed into upscale resorts and ritzy old buildings. High season is between November and April. June - January is usually monsoon season, and weather can be quite harsh in the Gulf of Thailand. Things will be cheaper, but less facilities will be available.

History of Ko Pha Ngan

The name Ko Pha Ngan derives from the word “Ngan” meaning sand bar in a southern Thai dialect, as there are tons of sand bars off the island. Settlements date back as far as the Bronze Drum of Dongson Culture from 500 - 100 BCE. Historians believe that the first people to settle in this island chain were muslim sea gypsies who traveled by boat from the Malay peninsula. Today there are still Muslim inhabitants of the islands. Since the 1900’s the populations of these islands has steadily grown. Mostly these people live off the sea as fisherman, and coconut farmers. Tin mining was popular in the 50’s and slowly faded out into the 70’s. Since then, tourism has been the island's main focus. Most of the population and local economy happens on the coastline, as the mountainous interior of the island is inaccessible due to unspoiled rainforest. Originally, Ko Pha Ngan was a part of the Ko Samui district. But was broken off and given it’s own jurisdiction on October 1, 1970. It now consists of Ko Pha Ngan, Ban Tai and Ko Tao.

Opening hours: sunrise to sunset, daily

Entrance fee: free

Travel Tips

  • When partying, remember to drink water. The weather in Thailand is specifically dehydrating, especially when a bucket of long island iced tea is involved. By popular demand, there are medical facilities available on the island, but don’t be someone who ends up using them.
  • Sunscreen is important as the island sun can quickly burn your skin. It’s available in the shops, but sunscreen is an imported item and can be extremely expensive. Try to bring your own.
  • ATMs are available on the island, but remember, ATMs in thailand hold onto your card when you’re at the machine, and give it back after. Don’t leave your card in the ATM and ruin your holiday.
  • Due to the high volume of irresponsible party goers, there can often be glass in the sand at Haad Rin beach. Shoes or sandals are advised. And if you see trash, pick it up.
  • Mosquito repellant is particularly important, Especially if staying in open air bungalows with no mosquito netting. The island offers plenty of repellant and mosquito coils. You can also take vitamin B1 to try and deter the insects from biting you.
