The event features multiple stages, fire shows, and vendors selling drinks and party accessories along the beach. Keep in mind that parties aren&#8217;t my scene. I went along for the hype.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Full Moon Party was pretty much what I expected\u2014crowded, loud, and hectic. We each paid 200 THB for glow-in-the-dark body paint. I chose for my face to be painted. They have a wall of body paint ideas behind the &#8220;artists&#8221;, but they also take requests. You could likely find something cheaper, but that&#8217;s the deal we got. We walked around the beach, enjoying the atmosphere and dancing. The crew seemed to be having a good time. After a while, I decided I\u2019d had enough and took a taxi back, while the rest of the group stayed to keep the party going.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-feb9171 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"feb9171\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4461d80 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4461d80\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-814ad12\" data-id=\"814ad12\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65fd694 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65fd694\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">D\u00eda 2<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-345541a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"345541a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Koh Tao Snorkeling<\/li><li>Nang Yuan Island<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d23def0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d23def0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5dbded7\" data-id=\"5dbded7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82de9da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82de9da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We packed up and got picked up by the van that would take us to our tour meeting point.

I hopped in the water right away. Because I was so eager to get off the boat, I was separated from the group and ended up snorkeling by myself most of the time. The reef was the best I saw in Thailand. I have been ruined by the snorkeling in Indonesia, so I&#8217;m no longer impressed as easily as I once was.

It is known for its unique sandbar that connects three smaller islands. The island offers clear waters suitable for snorkeling. It is a popular spot for day trips, but it wasn&#8217;t too crowded when we visited.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ate lunch near the dock, and the food was pretty good. There are bathrooms guests can access next to the tables. After lunch, we hiked up to a viewpoint where you could see the famous view of the sandbar connecting the small islands. Nang Yuan Island was probably the prettiest island I saw in Southeast Asia. What makes this island and Koh Tao so unusual is the large boulders piled near the ocean. <\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c78f278 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"c78f278\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-11771 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"c78f278\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"kny1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTE3OTAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93ZXN0aW5kaWVzdHJhdmVsLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDNcL2tueTEtc2NhbGVkLmpwZWciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJjNzhmMjc4In0%3D\" href='https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-scaled.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-1024x896.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-1024x896.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-300x263.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-768x672.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-1536x1344.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-2048x1792.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny1-14x12.jpeg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"c78f278\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"kny3\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTE3OTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93ZXN0aW5kaWVzdHJhdmVsLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDNcL2tueTMtc2NhbGVkLmpwZWciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJjNzhmMjc4In0%3D\" href='https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-scaled.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-1024x896.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-1024x896.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-300x263.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-768x672.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-1536x1344.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-2048x1792.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kny3-14x12.jpeg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21d374e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21d374e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After spending some time at the top of the hill, we hiked back down to go to the beach.

I\u2019m Zach! I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit.

I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.","sameAs":["http:\/\/westindiestravel.com","https:\/\/facebook.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/instagram.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/terrestrialtemple\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@westindiestravel"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Zach","author_link":"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/es\/author\/terrestrialtemplegmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":2,"uagb_excerpt":"Koh Pha Ngan &amp; Koh Tao 16 September 2024 Koh Pha Ngan is an island in the Gulf of Thailand known for its monthly Full Moon Party at Haad Rin Beach.
