Where to stay in Koh Phangan

🔄 Updated 20 Jun 2026

Short answer: For parties and the Full Moon scene stay at Haad Rin; for quiet and the prettiest beaches choose Thong Nai Pan in the north; for yoga, wellness and vegan life pick Srithanu; for convenience near the pier stay in Thong Sala (the island’s main town).

FAQ

Where to stay on Koh Phangan if not here to party?

Thong Nai Pan in the north has the prettiest, quietest beaches and is ideal for relaxing, while Srithanu suits yoga and wellness travelers — both are well away from the Haad Rin party scene.

Where should I stay for the Full Moon Party?

Haad Rin is where the Full Moon Party happens, so staying nearby lets you walk back to your room. On party nights it is crowded and rooms sell out, so book well ahead.

Is Thong Sala a good place to stay?

Good for convenience — Thong Sala is the main town and ferry pier with markets, shops and easy transport to other beaches, though the beach here is not as nice as those in the north.
