Though parts of Koh Phangan are definitely ready to pamper your every whim, in many parts of Koh Phangan people live and work much as they have been for a hundred years.

Koh Phangan Beaches
Koh Phangan's beaches are its glory. The most developed beaches lie around Thong Sala, where most of the boats from Samui, Surat Thani, and Koh Tao dock.
Hat Rin also boasts developed beaches, and this is where you want to go if you want the Full Moon parties.
Nature Attractions
Koh Phangan is a paradise for nature lovers; from the endless islands of the Angthong Marine National Park to trekking paths to beautiful lakes and waterfalls, Koh Phangan has it all.
Koh Phangan Temples
When you go to visit the temples, do remember that they are places of worship for the Thais. Act respectfully. Don't take pictures of family members posed next to Buddha. Dress respectfully-this means no shorts or beach wear, or tank tops or other skimpy clothing for women. This includes sleeveless tops. Despite what you see on the beaches, Thais have a more conservative idea of proper attire in temples. Err on the side of conservatism. Take your hat and your shoes off at the door.
Don't be surprised if you see Thais or Asian tourists setting off firecrackers. They are doing it to bring good luck.
