Koh Phangan is transforming from being most known for its monthly full moon party – to a popular digital nomad hub. A recent report named it the world’s top spot for a “workcation”. 01:48 Sand & Tan 06:30 Fitness Lifestyle Score 07:00 WiFi Score 08:00 Food Score 09:00 Air Quality Score 10:00 Housing Score 11:00 Healthcare Score 12:00 Safety Score 13:00 Infrastructure Score 14:00 Coffee and Coworking Score 15:00 Quality of Life Score 15:50 Kathe from Germany 16:40 Ayaka from Japan 17:19 Kristie from Hong Kong 18:35 Roei from Israel 19:49 Manu from Italy 20:45 Adrien from France 21:10 Philip from United States 22:00 Diversity Score ➠ Location – Getting There – travel to Koh Phangan All routes to Koh Phangan go through Koh Samui, Suratthani, or Koh Tao. When planning a trip, important considerations: The Suratthani pier is about one hour from the Suratthani airport and town center. When seas are rough avoid speedboats; sea sickness is almost guaranteed. The ferry from Suratthani is comfortable and takes about 2.5 hours. Maybe easiest to travel by ferry from Suratthani with your car or scooter. Some scooter rentals on Koh Phangan are unsafe or poorly maintained. Scooters are dangerous on Koh Phangan due to sandy, slippery roads. Flying to/from Phuket takes as long as driving/ferry in total travel time. ➠ Full Moon Party Dates 2023 Sunday, February 5, 2023 Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Wednesday, April 5, 2023 Friday, May 4, 2023 Sunday, June 4, 2023 Sunday, July 2, 2023 Thursday, August 3, 2023 Thursday, August 31, 2023 September 29, 2023 Friday, September 29, 2023 Monday, October 30, 2023 Monday, November 27, 2023 Wednesday, December 27, 2023 Sunday, December 31, 2023 ➠ Why does T.B.O not score Koh Phangan higher as a remote work destination? On July 3, 2022 Koh Pangan was ranked the No 1 destination for people seeking a workcation (work + vacation) in a recent survey by William Russell – a website that offers health insurance, life insurance, and income protection plans for people living and working abroad. The website states Koh Phangan is the best location for working remotely. The Borderless Office scores Koh Phangan 7 as a destination for working remotely – with a score of 10 being the highest. While Koh Phangan could be ideal for those on a $500 monthly budget, it lacks modern amenities desired for some online businesses to thrive – dependable electricity, quality healthcare, and ease of day-to-day living that is not disrupted when riding scooters on sandy, slippery, and dangerous roads.
