Haad Rin is on the island of Ko Pha Ngan off the
coast of Thailand. Most famous for their Full
Moon Party.
This
wide, sandy beach in the south of Pha Ngan island
is one of the most beautiful ones. Had Rin is actually
comprised of two popular beaches, Rin Nai beach on
the west side of the peninsula and Rin Nok on the
east side. From Rin Nai beach you can see Koh Samui
very clearly. This is also a great place to catch
the sunset. On the beach of Rin Nok is Bang Rak pier
where the ferryboats from Koh south Samui arrive and
leave daily. Rin Nok beach is well known among Thai
as well as the foreigner tourist for its “Full
Moon Party”. This spot is ranked as the third
most beautiful spot in the world to view the full
moon. For this reason on every full moon night a great
number of tourists from all over the world flock here
to take part in the famous celebration. The two beaches
of Had Rin Nai and Had rin Nok have the most resorts,
bungalows, stores and restaurants available on the
island. Had Rin is located on the southeastern tip
of the island, 12 kilometers south from the district
Office in Ban Thong Sala or take a ferry directly
from Koh Samui to get there.

Drink
If
you're after party heaven you can't do better than
Haad Rin. It is most popular one night a month -
the night of the Full Moon Party. Every bar is hopping,
the beaches packed with trance, dance, buckets,
and various other suspicious substances. However,
if the sight of thousands of bottles and other trash
repulses you, make sure you leave the beach area
before the sun comes up, or grab a garbage bag and
help tidy up a little.
Cactus Bar. A busy place
that tends to play RnB.
Drop Inn Bar at the top end
of Haad Rin is one the biggest bars on the beach.
Cocktails are cheap, they have plenty of beach
seating and great fire shows. Music is generally
commercial Rnb mixed in with house.
Mellow Mountain. Built into the
side of a cliff. After a precarious ascent up
the stairs, expect to find 'special shakes' and
a very chilled out, laid back atmosphere - perfect
if you want to escape the bustle of the beach
party.
Vinyl Club is more for dancing
to techno, but serves drinks as well. Right next
door is Zoom Bar which offers more of the same.
