Great experience, I arrived 1 minute before departure bc of traffic, and still catched the bus because they hurried up a lot for me at the check in counter and were really helpful. The bus had good ac and was comfortable and I liked the ferry too!

Is water in Koh Phangan safe to drink?

Tap water in Koh Phangan is not considered safe for drinking. Local authorities recommend using bottled water for consumption. Bottled water is widely available at convenience stores and supermarkets across the island. If you prefer filtered water, consider using a portable water filter or boiling tap water before drinking.

Are taxis in Koh Phangan expensive?

Taxi fares on Koh Phangan can be relatively high compared to mainland Thailand due to limited public transportation and the island's hilly terrain. Expect to pay around 100-150 THB ($3-4.50) for short distances within a town, while longer trips across the island may range from 300-500 THB ($9-15).

Shared songthaews (pickup trucks with benches) offer a more affordable option, with prices typically around 100 THB ($3) per person for common routes. Always agree on a fare before starting the trip and consider renting a scooter for more flexibility, which costs about 200-300 THB ($6-9) per day.

Is one day enough in Koh Phangan?

Spending one day in Koh Phangan allows for a brief exploration of its highlights. Begin with a morning visit to the island's beaches, such as Haad Rin or Thong Nai Pan. For lunch, enjoy local Thai dishes at a beachside restaurant, with meals typically costing around 150-300 THB ($4.50-$9).

In the afternoon, explore the island's waterfalls like Than Sadet or hike to viewpoints such as Khao Ra. If your visit coincides with a Full Moon Party, experiencing this nighttime event is a must. However, it is worth noting that Koh Phangan's attractions, such as its diverse beaches and vibrant nightlife, may require more time for a fuller experience.

For transportation, renting a scooter costs about 250-300 THB ($7.50-$9) per day. Tap water is not safe to drink, so opt for bottled water.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Phuket and Koh Phangan, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
