Ko Pha-Ngan - pre-travel post
Ko Pha-Ngan is Koh Tao's neighbouring island. And can be reached using the same route. Temperatures on Ko Pha-Ngan in February are in the high 20s, with low rainfall. The parties here are legendary and last all night and day. If you choose to get accommodation, it may seem easiest to get somewhere close to the party, but be warned as if you stay here, you might not get much sleep (depends on what your plan is I suppose). But you can stay a short 10 minutes away on the other side of the island if you'd like some peace and quiet. The average hostel room here is 1-200THB.
There is one reason we're coming here, the famous Full Moon Parties. We should hit Ko Pha-Ngan for Feb 23rd 2016, right on time for full moon. For a full list of party dates, see here. .

But it's not just parties on Ko Pha-Ngan, you can also trip your balls on shroom shakes! Though maybe not whilst at the party.
There are also activities like archery, diving and other watersports available, or for something different, learn to free-dive. Apnea Koh Phangan offers free-diving courses near the pier in Chaloklum Village.
But if you still want to party, in the days leading up to a full moon party, there is the Jungle Experience in Ban Tai. It's open all night and seems to be built for people on drugs, drum and bass/techno music plays from some world class djs, and the site has UV lights and a "magical flower garden" with a river. God knows what it is, but I'll give it a crack.
