As a result, many look at Ko Pha-ngan as an island full

of drunkards and parties, and this gives the island a negative
image. As a matter of fact, Ko Pha-ngan’s full-moon party is
fun-filled, lively and has its own charms identical to nowhere.
Many other places tried to imitate Ko Pha-ngan but nowhere can
surpass the original site. In all, a full-moon party is a gathering
of fun-loving people who want to unleash their freedom within
manageable limits. Such a party, if carried out within limits,
free from negative aspects, can be an additional magnet that
no other islands all over the world have.

However, the full-moon party is not the only attraction at
Ko Pha-ngan. If strolling around the island to witness the unspoiled
nature, visitors will find that all beaches circling the island, have a unique
charm and identity, like Wok Tum and Nai Wok bays, Thong Sala,
Si Thanu, Yao, Salat, Mae Hat beaches in the West, Chalok Lam, Khom

and Khuat beaches in the North, Ban Tai, Ban Khai, Rin Nai, Si Kantang,
Rin Nok, Yuan and Thian beaches in the East and even Thong Nai Pan
Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai beaches on the northeastern-most spot of
the island, which drivers have to venture across the mountainous terrain
in the middle of the island to reach. People on Ko Pha-ngan have
culture and traditions that are tied to nature which still doesn’t change
much compared to other islands which have mostly turned into
full-scale tourist spots. There are still many corners of Ko Pha-ngan
to explore, especially in terms of nature and friendliness of people.
