Pantip Market

I've spent 6 months working in Thailand as a tour guide, so it's safe to say I know my way around the country. This guide contains my professional recommendations of the best temples, beaches, waterfalls, viewpoints, restaurants, and bars. I've even included my favorite hostels for each city. With this thorough guide (divided by each tourist hot-spot), you will feel like a local yourself.

In May 2022, my fiancé and I spent five nights on Koh Phangan, a gorgeous island in the Gulf of Thailand. We beach hopped, snorkeled, swam in waterfalls, and enjoyed an incredible sunset dinner. After researching weather, the islands in the Gulf seemed like our best bet for sunshine in May. With very occasional afternoon showers while we were there, that bet paid off.

This guide will give you all of the information you need to know about visiting Thailand's most well-known "party island," but KP is so much more than that. Boasting some of the most pristine beaches you've ever seen, delicious food, and phenomenal health and wellness experiences, it doesn't get better than Koh Phangan!
