Koh Phangan is one of the most misunderstood islands in Thailand. Most people know it for the Full Moon Party… but that’s only one small piece of the story.

In this episode, I take you beyond the party scene and into the real Koh Phangan… the side of the island with hidden beaches, jungle viewpoints, incredible snorkeling, laid-back reggae beach bars, and one of the most unique natural experiences you can have in Thailand… bioluminescent plankton glowing in the ocean at night.

What you’ll discover:

• How to get to Koh Phangan via Samui Airport or Surat Thani Airport
• Secret snorkeling at Haad Yuan Beach
• The stunning viewpoint above Bottle Beach
• Sunset vibes at a reggae-style beach bar
• A top foodie experience at Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar
• How to experience (or avoid) the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin Beach
• Jungle escape at Than Sadet–Ko Pha-ngan National Park
• How to see bioluminescent plankton naturally from the beach

If you’re thinking about coming to Thailand, or you want help planning your trip, I’d love to hear from you.

Send me an email at [email protected] and put "Podcast Insider" in the subject line. I’ll send you the details on our upcoming Magic of Thailand experience this July, where Koh Phangan is one of the featured stops, along with insider tips, recommendations, and planning support.
