Koh Phangan is a very small island. It is about 40km (25mi) from the North tip to the South tip.

There are three main ways of getting around the island: scooter/motorcycle 🛵, car 🚗, or taxi (aka saleng, they are pickup trucks typically although sometimes vans) 🚕.

• 🛵 Scooter/Motorcycle
  • You can easily rent a scooter or motorcycle on the island for 250-500 baht ($9-14) a day depending on the bike you get.
  • You’ll have to leave a deposit (usually you can do cash (3000-5000 baht, $90-160), sometimes they ask for your passport - it is safe to leave your passport places here just make sure you have a photo of it with you).
• 🚗 Car
  • Cars can be rented on the island usually between 1000-3000 baht ($30-100) per day.
  • It is best to find these in the Facebook Marketplace as the renters here don’t really have websites. Just message them directly. Many of them take deposits using Wise.
  • You can also get cars here.
• 🚕 Taxi
  • If you’re staying at a hotel, the reception can usually call you a taxi.
  • Closer to the wedding, I will post several phone numbers for taxi drivers here so you can save them to your phone and contact them via What’s App.
  • Prices vary depending on where you are going and how many people are in the taxi. Its best to agree to a price before you get in the taxi.
• 🦶🏼Foot
  • You can also walk around of course. We don’t really have sidewalks here so be careful. You can also hitch hike, which is fairly common practice.
