Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is a big, hilly island between Samui and Tao. It is known for the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin, but most of the island is quiet beaches and jungle. Nearly every ferry docks at Thong Sala on the west coast.

Around Full Moon Party dates, boats from Samui sell out and run extra late sailings. Book ahead and keep your return ticket handy.

Arriving in Koh Samui

Koh Samui has its own airport and is the starting point for most trips to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. It has several piers, and the right one depends on the operator, so check the departure pier on your ticket, not just “Koh Samui”.

Bangrak and Maenam are 10–20 minutes from the airport; Nathon is on the far side of the island. Allow for traffic in Chaweng.

Weather and season

Weather runs to a different clock from the Andaman: the Gulf is usually calmest from February to August. Expect rain and rougher crossings from October to December.
