The Kingdom of Thailand is a nation that contains many islands, and these islands in turn contain many wonders. One of Thailand’s smaller islands Koh Phangan is over-looked by many, but those who are aware of it, will tell you many a tale. It is part of the Samui archipelago, and is located on the south-east region of Thailand. The island is fairly small, with a perimeter of forty kilometres, enabling anyone to walk around the entire island within half a day. Aspects such as this are why the island grew immensely in popularity as a back-packing destination. The island of Koh Phangan has been referenced many times in the media, both in the western world and the eastern world alike, for its notorious Full Moon Party.
Accommodation for tourists is immense, due to the island’s popularity as a tourist destination. A luxury hotel Koh Phangan boasts in particular is the Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villa Resort & Spa, which contains specially developed excursions to ensure that their visitors have the opportunity and resources to visit the most noteworthy locales on the island. The Ang Thong Marine Park is a one-stop destination that will allow you to experience the wonders of all the forty two islands in the archipelago of Thailand. If one wishes to bask in the island’s history as well as her natural splendor, a visit to Kuan Yin Shrine, an exotic Chinese temple overlooking the beautiful Chaloklum Bay, will allow you just that. The island’s consistently most sought after attraction will continue to be the infamous Full Moon Party, which was made famous by the movie The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Mostly attended by tourists, the party is an event that lasts till sunrise.
It is hard to believe such a small island can contain so many wonders, but that is the case with the microcosmic paradise of Thailand’s Koh Phangan Island.
