A simple mid-range resort stay for travelers who want a quieter side of Koh Phangan more than easy party access.
Seaboard Bungalow is worth considering if you want a simpler west-coast stay on Koh Phangan and plan to prioritize beach time and sunsets over late-night party access.
On Koh Phangan’s west coast, the hotel is better placed for a slower-paced island stay than for Haad Rin nightlife. In practical terms, that means easier access to the island’s calmer side, but a longer trip for the Full Moon Party.
Seaboard Bungalow sits on Koh Phangan’s west coast, a part of the island that generally feels slower-paced than Haad Rin. That makes it a better fit for travelers who want a calmer beach holiday rather than a stay built around nightlife. As a 3-star resort with a 7.8/10 rating from 145 reviews, the expectation should be a decent mid-range option rather than anything polished or high-end. For couples and longer-stay visitors, that trade-off may work well if the main goal is time on the west side of the island.
The Full Moon Party is still doable from here, but this is not the most practical place to stay if the event is your main reason for coming. Haad Rin is about 40 minutes away by taxi, so getting there and back takes planning, especially late at night when transport and cost matter more. In editorial terms, Seaboard Bungalow makes more sense for travelers who want west-coast calm and may go to the party once, not for anyone expecting quick return access after a long night out.

Distance to Full Moon Party
The Full Moon Party is feasible from Seaboard Bungalow, but not convenient as a dedicated party base. Haad Rin is around 40 minutes away by taxi, so this suits travelers happy to arrange transport for one night rather than those planning repeated late returns.
