Snorkeling
Snorkeling is a nice way to get a glimpse of the beautiful underwater world around the island. There are many great snorkel spots on the island, especially on the Northwest coast. One of the best spots is around the little island of Koh Ma ('Horse Island'), off Mae Haad beach at the Northwestern tip of Koh Phangan.

Boat trips and fishing
Boat trips around the island or to other islands can be arranged. Local people have been fishing these waters for generations and despite the amount of recent changes, Koh Phangan is still full of "real" fishermen who go out in their long tail boats every day.

Thai boxing
Koh Phangan has three Muay Thai stadiums in Thong Sala, one in Haad Rin and one in Thong Nai Pan where regularly events are being held. Go there to experience a night of Thailand's most popular sport.

Elephant Trekking
Just outside Chaloklum you can enjoy an elephant ride through Koh Phangan's jungle.
