Haad Rin (or Had rin, Hatrin) is a small peninsula at the South eastern tip
of Koh Phangan and is a 20 minutes drive from Thong Sala. The area is the epicentre
of the famous Full Moon Party in Thailand.
The town of Haad Rin has all main facilities like ATM’s, travel agencies,
a pier with boats to Koh Samui, supermarkets, pharmacies and a medical clinic.
Haad Rin is the most popular and lively area of the island, with many bars and
restaurants, plenty of small boutiques, music-, art- and tattoo shops.
Haad Rin consists of two beaches, Haad Rin Sunrise beach (or Haad Rin Nok)
and Haad Rin Sunset beach (or Haad Rin Nai). Haad Rin Sunrise is the more beautiful
beach of the two, having a nice long sandy strip lined with coconut palms and
some snorkeling is possible as well at the southern tip. The beach has several
restaurants, bars and resorts and is always lively. Haad Rin Sunset is much
quieter. The two beaches are less than a 10 minutes walk apart.
Full Moon Party is an all-night beach party that takes
place in Haad Rin Beach on Koh Phangan, Thailand on the night of every full
moon.
Full Moon Party (Koh Phangan) Once upon a time Haad Rin Beach on nearby Koh
Phangan was a secret haven for a few ‘hippy’ backpackers who could only get
to the beach by boat. Currently, however, Haad Rin is packed with bungalows,
bars, pizza joints and even a 7-11. Every month on full-moon a huge party is
held; one that has become internationally renowned. All through the night party-goers
can drink and dance to the latest rave sounds played by well-known DJs from
around the world. Literally ten of thousands appear solely for the point of
joining in the action.
Koh Phangan is located in the Gulf of Thailand and is one of the most beautiful
islands in the world with all ingredients for a superb and unforgettable holiday.
Expect a tropical cocktail of turquoise waters, stunning postcard beaches, swaying
palms and lush green jungle.
Dream away on one of the lovely beaches on Koh Phangan, enjoy a relaxing
spa treatment, have a romantic sunset dinner, chill out in the resort of your
choice, visit the market in Thong Sala, go scuba diving, jungle trekking, elephant
riding or dance the night away under the light of the full moon at the world
famous Koh Phangan Full Moon Party on Haad Rin beach.
