<strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong>: Heaven of Nature Lovers<br />
Many people recognize <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong> as a site of world-famous full-moon party,<br />
which was initiated by a group of foreign tourists who arrived in <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong> on a fullmoon<br />
night and were impressed by the sand on Hat Rin Beach. They later put their<br />
impression in a book by mentioning <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong> as one of the best beaches to watch<br />
a full moon. The book has inspired many other tourists to visit <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong> on full-moon<br />
nights, leading to a full-moon party on the beach held under the most wonderful<br />
atmosphere. A trend was finally set among foreign tourists that a full-moon party on<br />
<strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong> is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed. Today, of tens<br />
of thousands people come to the party on every full-moon night on the island.<br />
