Haad Rin

Koh Phangan’s most popular beach area, Haad Rin is actually made up of two beaches: calm and relatively peaceful Haad Rin Nai to the west, and Haad Rin Nok, a beautiful beach on the eastern side that’s the location of Koh Phangan’s famous Full Moon Party.

Despite its reputation as a party destination, Haad Rin is surprisingly calm between events. The Haad Rin area itself is a small peninsula, with most of its accommodation located around Haad Rin Nok and a selection of backpacker style rooms on quieter Haad Rin Nai. The two beaches are a short walk from one another.

As one of Koh Phangan’s most popular locations, Haad Rin has a great selection of hotels and resorts. Both budget and luxury travellers will be able to find a variety of hotels that meet their needs (and their budgets) in Haad Rin.

Clear water and beautiful sand make Haad Rin one of Koh Phangan’s most beautiful beaches, as least in the periods between major parties. After the Full Moon Party and other events, the beach can get covered in litter, making it best to avoid these dates if you’d like a peaceful stay.

True to its reputation, Haad Rin has the best selection of nightlife on Koh Phangan, with a wide range of beachside bars and nightclubs. There are also numerous high quality, affordable Thai and international restaurants on and around the beach.

If you’re visiting Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party, you’ll love Haad Rin as a base for getting around the island before the big event. If you’re just visiting for relaxation, provided you choose a quiet period between major parties and events, you’ll also find plenty to enjoy about Haad Rin.
