Ko Phangan
This funky island to the north of Ko Samui has a reputation for a hippie-stoner scene and drunken debauchery at the monthly Full Moon Party on Haad Rin.
But while Haad Rin and Ban Tai in the south are popular with backpackers looking to party, the entire eastern and northern parts of Ko Phangan are quiet and suitable for families, even when a Full Moon Party is going on at Haad Rin.
Activities include hiking to viewpoints, water sports like windsurfing, swimming at Than Sadet Waterfall, and visiting remote stretches of sand like Bottle Beach and Thian Beach on a longtail boat tour. The island is also known for yoga, meditation and wellness in case you're looking for spiritual vibes. The main town, Thong Sala, has cool boutiques and a good night market to boot.
