Honeymoon in Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand

Ko Pha Ngan (or Ko Phangan) – famous for its monthly full moon beach parties at Hat Rin Beach – is an idyllic, laid-back hilly island offering a choice of several white- and golden-sand beaches lapped by crystal clear water and surrounded by a vibrant underwater world of pristine coral reefs and abundant marine life.

Things to do and see


Snorkel Mae Hat Bay, dive nearby Ko Tao or enjoy an array of watersports including kite surfing, windsurfing, sailing and kayaking.

Inland, the wild eastern coastline and pristine jungle interior offer great walks, bike and ATV rides along dirt trails. Hike to the summit of Khao Ra (627m) and visit Phaeng Waterfalls to admire stunning vistas from the viewpoint.

Learn the secrets of Thai cuisine, massage and meditation or get fit on a muay Thai kick boxing course.

Accommodation


Once the preserve of backpackers, Ko Pha Ngan now offers a range of 5-and 4-star beachfront resorts offering all manner of pampering for honeymoon couples, including the luxury Santhiya Resort & Spa, located directly on a private beach overlooking Thong Nai Pan Bay, and the beachfront Rasananda Resort, located close to Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach.

Best time to visit Ko Pha Ngan?


Ko Pha Ngan can be visited year round, but it’s probably best to avoid November to mid-December when it is generally wet and stormy. The dry season from late-December to April (also the high-season) is the best time to visit, as well as July to August. For more climate info: Ko Pha Ngan Weather Guide

Getting there


Ko Pha Ngan is an easy half-hour boat ride from nearby Ko Samui, which lies to the south, or longer from Surat Thani on the mainland.
