That may have been largely true 10 years ago but the island has changed a lot faster than its reputation. Koh Phangan still has beach parties, most notably the Full Moon Party, and it still has some cheap beach bungalow but not very many, and it also doesn\u2019t have many backpackers on 6 month adventures around Asia any longer."}, {"text_idx": "#000117", "text": "Chalokulum Beach in Koh Phangan"}, {"text_idx": "#000118", "text": "In recent years Koh Phangan has gone a lot more upmarket, become more expensive, and has developed better facilities. Koh Phangan has six proper luxury resorts now, four of which are in Thong Nai Pan on the north coast of the island. Koh Phangan now has supermarkets and fairly sizeable private hospitals as well. All that the island doesn\u2019t have now, compared to neighbouring island Koh Samui, is a cinema, an airport and a McDonald\u2019s. With these exceptions Koh Phangan is now as a family friendly destination as Koh Samui. Where Koh Phangan still differs to Koh Samui is that it doesn\u2019t have the big towns or the long crowded beaches. For this reason Thong Nai Pan in Koh Phangan is the luxury destination of choice in the Gulf of Thailand for those who can afford 5 star luxury because it better fits most people\u2019s idea of a tropical dream destination than crowded Chaweng beach in Koh Samui."}, {"text_idx": "#000124", "text": "Click on the image to buy bus, train, ferry and airplane tickets for travel across Thailand.
