Thousands of people land on this island every month, and most of them see the same crowded version of it. This is the guide you'd get from a friend who lives here: where locals eat, swim, stay and party, and the traps to skip.

❦The insider's guide to the island most visitors never see
Same ferry, same beaches, same week. One trip feels like a brochure, the other feels like home.
From the ferry to the last sunset, in the order you'll need it.
Contents
When to come, what to pack, and the easiest way over from Bangkok, Samui or Koh Tao.
Thong Sala, Sri Thanu, Haad Rin, Thong Nai Pan, Chaloklum: which corner fits the trip you want.
Renting a scooter without the classic scams, plus taxis, songthaews and boats.
Where to swim, snorkel and watch the sunset away from the crowds.
Night markets, Thai kitchens and the cafés the people who live here actually go to.
Making sense of the Sri Thanu scene: studios, retreats and healers, and how to choose.
Full Moon, Half Moon and jungle parties: how to enjoy them and get home safe.
The island's green interior, and which climbs are worth it.
Money, SIM cards, health, visas and the etiquette that earns you respect.
Three days, one week or two: plans you can follow as they are.
After many years on Koh Phangan, the island stops being a destination and becomes a neighbourhood: you know which kitchen opens late, which road floods, and which beach empties out at four.
This ebook is that knowledge, written down: which area to stay in, how to get around without getting ripped off, where to eat, and the spots that don't make it onto a public website.
Two of the three steps are yours, and they take about a minute.
