30 minutes away from Koh Tao by ferry is Koh Phangan. The island hosts the world-famous Full Moon Party happening every month at Haad Rin - the island's nightlife hotspot. Through the entire length of the beach, 12 major sound systems will be playing party music for 8,000 party goers on a low season to as much as 30,000 during New Year.

Koh Tao visitors who are interested in learning how to cook Thai cuisine should enrol on Ning's Traditional Thai Cooking Course. The course starts with buying ingredients from the local market, after which Ning will teach traditional Thai dishes taught to her by her mother. The cooked dishes will then be eaten in Ning’s tropical garden where tea, coffee and ice cold water are also served – especially if the food is spicy!
