Is Koh Phangan expensive, or does it depend entirely on which week you turn up?

The island seems to run two economies. Around the party dates, beds get scarce and the same room can be listed at a very different rate than it was a week earlier. Outside those dates, the north and east of the island are a different place financially. We deliberately do not publish nightly prices here, because they move faster than any page can honestly track. What we can point at is the seasonal side of the decision, which we have sourced: https://meetlocale.com/guides/andaman-vs-gulf So the useful information is the part we cannot look up. What did a bed, a scooter and a day of food actually come to, and which week of the month were you there?
