A basic, budget-oriented hostel stay best for travelers who value lower cost and can manage with simpler standards.
Bodega Koh Pha Ngan Pool suits budget travelers who want a simpler east-coast stay on Koh Phangan and do not mind taking a taxi to the Full Moon Party.
Set on Koh Phangan’s east coast, this puts you away from the island’s busiest Full Moon zone. Expect a quieter, less developed area with fewer convenience advantages than staying near Haad Rin.
This is a 2-star hostel on Koh Phangan’s east coast, so the main draw is price and a more off-the-beaten-path setting rather than resort comfort or polished service. That part of the island is generally quieter and less developed than the busier south and west, which may appeal if you want some distance from the main tourist flow. Review scores sit at 7.5/10 from 128 reviews, which suggests a decent but mixed experience overall. In practice, this is the sort of place to book for a functional, budget-focused stay, not for a high-spec room or a more refined hotel atmosphere.
For Full Moon Party plans, the key thing to know is that this is not a stay-in-the-action option. Haad Rin is around 9.2 km away, or about 17 minutes by taxi, so transport planning matters. Walking time is listed at 2 hours 17 minutes, which makes walking unrealistic for most people, especially late at night. That trade-off will suit some travelers: you get separation from the busiest party zone, but less convenience and simpler local infrastructure. If your trip revolves around being able to walk back from the beach event, staying closer to Haad Rin makes more sense.

Distance to Full Moon Party
The Full Moon Party is reachable in about 17 minutes by taxi, but this is not close enough to treat as a walkable party stay. It works better for travelers who want some distance from Haad Rin and are happy arranging rides.
