Hotels in Koh Phangan
Koh Phangan or Phangan island is one of the idyllic islands which lies to the north of Koh Samui in the gulf of Thailand. The distance from Koh Samui’s nearest part is 12 kilometers. Koh Phangan is the largest island in the small archipelago composed of 6 islands: Phangan, Tao, Tae Nok, Tae Nai, Ma and Nang Yuan. However, Koh Phangan has not reached the developmental stage of Koh Samui yet. It is more rustic and laid back. This makes Koh Phangan appeal to many tourists.
