If you’re spending more than a day or two in Ko Phangan, I definitely recommend renting a jeep or a scooter and taking off to explore the island. There’s lots to see, and the roads are fun to navigate (albeit a bit dangerous if it’s been raining a lot, as it did when we were there). The road to Had Rin beach is practically vertical, so if you’re planning to take your scooter to/from a Full Moon Party, keep that in mind.
After about a week staying at the amazing Haad Tian Beach Resort on Ko Phangan, we decided to rent a jeep and do some exploration of the island. Having no idea where we were going or what we’d encounter, we took to the no-power-steering, left-hand-shifting and wrong-side-of-the-road driving in our tiny Thai jeep that was about as dilapidated as you can get for something that was advertised as newish.
