Can’t decide between Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Tao? We know exactly what you mean! Having had the chance to visit these three islands, we were enchanted by their unique charm. Let us share our experiences with you to help you make your choice.

Koh Samui: chic and relaxed

Koh Samui is the diva of the Thai islands. With its luxury hotels, spas and white sandy beaches, it attracts a rather wealthy clientele. We loved lounging on the beaches of Chaweng and Lamai, sipping cocktails and watching the sunset. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with a touch of elegance, Koh Samui is the place for you. Be warned though, that the island can sometimes be a little too touristy for our liking.

Koh Pha Ngan: Between celebration and spirituality

Koh Pha Ngan is an island with a thousand faces, a destination that is both vibrant and peaceful, depending on when and where you visit. Of course, it is best known for its famous “Full Moon Parties”, epic celebrations held on the beach under the light of the full moon. They attract crowds of young revellers from all over the world, ready to dance until dawn. We were lucky enough to take part in one of these unforgettable evenings, and it really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The electric atmosphere, intoxicating music and light shows create a mood that cannot be described in words. But there’s more to Koh Pha Ngan than its festive nights. The island is also a haven of peace for those seeking to reconnect with nature or find a place of serenity. For lovers of calm, well-being and meditation, it’s an ideal destination. Spend a few days in a charming seaside bungalow, practise yoga and watch the sunrise every morning.

These moments of calm and meditation are deeply regenerating offering a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Between idyllic beaches, lush jungles and a spiritual atmosphere, Koh Pha Ngan has much to offer, far beyond its reputation as a party destination.

Koh Tao: A diver’s paradise

Koh Tao is our favourite! This small island is a veritable Eldorado for divers. The crystal-clear waters are home to incredible marine life: multi-coloured fish, sea turtles, sharks… But Koh Tao is much more beyond mere diving. We also loved hiking through the jungle, exploring the hidden coves and relaxing on the sandy beaches.

If you’re the sporty type, Koh Tao is the place to go for some great rock climbing.

The island, with its unique rock formations, offers several climbing routes for different levels. It’s a great way to discover exceptional sea views while enjoying a challenging sport. Our establishment can accompany you if you want to try out or perfect your technique.

 

So, which island should you choose?

It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to party, Koh Pha Ngan is ideal. If you prefer comfort and luxury, choose Koh Samui. And if you love nature, climbing and diving, go for Koh Tao!

Our advice: If you have the time, why not combine several islands? That way, you’ll be able to make the most of each one.

Which island appeals to you most? Don’t hesitate to ask us more questions.
We hope this story has inspired you to set off and discover these magnificent islands!
