Welcome to the All About Thailand podcast from Lonely Traveler Productions.

In this episode I’ll take you through what it’s like to visit Koh Phangan between May and October: quieter beaches, dramatic tropical rains that fill waterfalls and turn the jungle impossibly green, and a slower, more local pace where yoga studios, retreat centers and friendly beach cafés thrive. I’ll cover what to expect — fewer ferries and reduced opening hours for some bars and tours, great accommodation bargains, and the need to plan travel connections a little more carefully — plus the best low-season activities: hiking to hidden viewpoints, snorkeling on calm days, visiting local markets, and joining intimate wellness retreats. Whether you’re after solitude, nature, or a different kind of island culture away from the party crowds, this episode will help you decide if low-season Koh Phangan is for you, and give practical tips to make the most of your trip.
