Koh Phangan is a tropical paradise land in the true sense of the word. It is situated just a little north from the area of Koh Samui and is renowned for the famous 'Full Moon Party' which is held monthly. One will be able to find tranquility here which allows one an opportunity to relax under the shade of coconut trees. While relaxing under the shade of the coconut trees one can even laze around on the white sand beach in the day. The nights are excellent for chilling at the local bars. And, just in case you happen to be on the island on the 'Full Moon Night' you will be amidst the company of over 10000 visitors. The feeling of partying with so many people is unique and thrilling and everyone parties until dawn. Be sure you don't miss this opportunity in case you happen to be there during that time of the year. Many people prefer to join a sightseeing tour to explore this lovely paradise of a country. It is not such a bad idea in case you plan to do something similar. This will give you an opportunity to see the best attractions in a day or two without much hassle and that too in an organized group. Just in case you want to go it alone, prepare yourself to converse patiently with the taxi drivers because in most cases they speak little English.
