For one week of every month, Ko Pha Ngan is the site of a giant, world-famous full moon party that typically attracts around 30,000 visitors. However, parts of the island are excellent family destinations even while the full moon celebration is going on. The seemingly endless selection of idyllic beaches boast soft white sand and clear blue water, and the island is surrounded by plenty of wonderful snorkeling and diving spots. Most of the other popular activities here revolve around the water, but there are also plenty of beautiful temples, waterfalls, and caves for visitors to enjoy.
