Local knowledge for Koh Phangan

Where to stay

Budget travelers split between Haad Rin in the south, which puts you a short walk from the Full Moon Party beach but costs two to three times more during party week, and Thong Sala, the main pier town with cheaper guesthouses, the Walking Street night market, and direct ferry connections to Koh Samui and Surat Thani.

Getting around

Book at least three weeks out for any Full Moon Party date. Hostels within walking distance of Haad Rin sell out months ahead and charge double or triple normal rates.
Rent a scooter from a shop in Thong Sala rather than beachside. Thong Sala rates run 200-250 THB per day; the same bike near Haad Rin is 350-450 THB.
The shared songthaew (pickup truck) from Thong Sala pier to Haad Rin costs 100 THB per person. Taxis quote 400-600 THB for the same 20-minute ride, so wait for the shared truck.

When to go

May through September brings lower prices and fewer crowds despite some rain, while December through January and the four days around each Full Moon Party are when rooms fill up fastest and nightly rates spike.
