There are several reasons why prices on Koh Phangan can be high, especially compared to other parts of Thailand. 

• High demand: Koh Phangan is a popular tourist destination, and there is a high demand for accommodation, food, and activities on the island. This demand drives up prices.
• Limited supply: Koh Phangan is a relatively small island, and there is a limited supply of land and resources. This limits the supply of accommodation, food, and activities, which also drives up prices.
• High transportation costs: Koh Phangan is only accessible by ferry, which can be expensive, especially for large groups or those traveling with vehicles. This adds to the cost of goods and services on the island.
