Where to Stay in Koh Phangan: Best Areas
Where to stay in Koh Phangan — party central, quiet north, or the wellness west coast.
Where you stay shapes your Koh Phangan trip.
Haad Rin — for the party
Home of the Full Moon Party — lively, but busy and loud around party dates.
The north (Thong Nai Pan, Chaloklum, Bottle Beach) — for quiet
Beautiful, tranquil beaches well away from the party scene.
Sri Thanu (west) — for wellness
The yoga-and-detox hub, with sunsets and a relaxed community.
Baan Tai / Baan Kai — for budget & central
Convenient and cheaper, between the airport-ferry and Haad Rin.
