This is the kind of stay to consider if being away from Koh Phangan's main tourist zones matters more to you than having lots of places nearby. The east coast generally feels more removed than the south or west of the island, with less surrounding infrastructure and fewer easy walk-to options for dining, shopping, and nightlife. That makes Puk's Palace Thailand better framed as a retreat-style pick than a central beach hub. The 7.5/10 rating from 24 reviews suggests a mixed-to-decent guest response rather than a place with clearly standout feedback.

For the Full Moon Party, the location is workable but not especially convenient. Haad Rin is about 9.5 km away, with the trip taking around 19 minutes by taxi, so this is not a practical walk and not the right fit if you want to move back and forth through the night. On the other hand, it makes more sense for travelers planning to attend once, then return somewhere quieter afterward. Day-to-day, expect transport to matter more here than it would in more developed parts of Koh Phangan, especially for meals, sightseeing, or evenings out.
