About Koh Phangan
Most people know Koh Phangan as the home of the Full Moon Party — but this Gulf island hides a dramatically different face accessible only to those who arrive by private boat. The northern shore is a completely different world from the party beaches: secluded bays like Bottle Beach (Haad Khuat) and Haad Khom are only reachable by sea, and their pristine waters and jungle-draped hillsides are rivaled by few places in Thailand. A private charter from Koh Samui to Phangan's hidden north opens up authentic, unhurried Thailand that most visitors simply never encounter.

Explera Charter Tip
Time your Phangan charter to arrive at Bottle Beach at 8am on the boat — it's one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand and is completely empty before the day-trip boats arrive from the pier at 9:30am. Combine with a Koh Tao afternoon dive for a truly epic Gulf day.

October and November bring the northeast monsoon — the Gulf's roughest months. Plan around the Full Moon Party dates if you want quiet anchorages, or embrace the vibe if you don't.
