It is located 60 km northeast of the Thai mainland. The interior is mostly mountainous and covered by primeval forest and partly by secondary forest. The capital and most important port is Thong Sala. As on the larger sister island Ko Samui, the management of palm plantations and fishing were traditionally the most important economic sectors. Even today they are the largest sources of income after tourism. Above all, the copra obtained from coconuts is exported. In addition, the fibers of the nuts are used to make mats, the wood is used as a building material and for the manufacture of everyday objects and the leaves are still often used to cover houses. Another agricultural product on the island is rubber. Since the 1980s, tourism has also been increasing on Ko Pha-ngan. After Samui had already been largely developed for tourism, especially after the opening of the airport there, many of the long-distance travelers were looking for the very calm and contemplative atmosphere of Samui compared to other tourist destinations in the region (e.g. Phuket, Bali) had enjoyed an alternative - and found it on the more impassable neighboring island of Pha-ngan. The beaches of the east coast, where the mountains often reach the sea, are still mostly only accessible with the traditional long boats of the fishermen, which also serve as water taxis. In addition to the island's capital, the town of Hat Rin, located near the southern tip of Pha-ngans (Haad Rin), is increasingly developing into the island's tourist center. Especially in the days immediately before and after full moon nights, young travelers and DJs from all over the world meet here every month for the Full Moon Party and numerous other parties such as Oxa Beach or the Jungle Party. The Full Moon Party began in the late 1980s. Today, in the high season from December to February, over 10,000 ravers come together to celebrate until sunrise, especially on the beach at Hat Rin Nok. Since religious holidays often coincide with full moon nights in Buddhist Thailand, parties on such days are not welcome.
