The hiking trail is traversing rough terrain and goes in a loop that you can walk in about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Highest peak on the island!
It is not really a permit, but you have to pay 20 TBH for the trail.
There is not really a base camp. Most likely, you stay in the western area of Koh Phangan. From there, take a taxi but make sure not to overpay! Go to Phaeng Waterfall and start your hike from there. If you are at the Full Moon Party location at Haad Rin beach in the very south of the island, then it is a bit longer to get there, but still just a 20 minute taxi ride or less.
no guide needed
The best little hike on Koh Phangan! The island is well known for its Yoga, workations and Full Moon Party, but there is also great hiking.
It costs THB 20 but this is a small amount.
