Ko Phangan in November brings temperatures estimated at 30C and beyond. During the day, the sky is mostly cloudy and there is a 45 percent chance of rainfall. However, these short showers come as a blessing and welcome respite from the hot and humid conditions. The sea water temperature is a still pleasant 28C, so underwater sport activities are a good option especially seeing as Koh Phanganoh Phangan is well known as a world class diving centre and as an ideal departure point for sites in the Angthong Marine National Park, Southwest Pinnacles and Sailrock.
The Ang Thong Marine Park is an archipelago of around 40 islands home to a fascinating and diverse range of wild and marine life. Most of the dive operators on Koh Phangan are professional and trustworthy, however, do your research before you choose a dive school to learn/dive with and make sure the courses on offer are internationally recognised.
If you prefer to have your feet to remain land locked, set about exploring Ko Phangan on foot, starting off with the island's stunning seven waterfalls. Don't miss the national park near the Phaeng waterfall either it's a beautiful spot.
In November, Ko PhaNgan celebrates Thong Sala Festival, a vibrant traditional event celebrated with feasting, music and more.
A lovely place to stay in Ko Phangan is the Cookies Salad Hotel, which offers excellent service, comfortable rooms and is close to various amenities and attractions.
The Amsterdam Bar is a good place for tasty international fare, as well as good views and service.
