Koh
Phangan
is a unique and very special Island in the Gulf of Thailand, it
is sheltered from heavy weather and maintains one of the best
climates in the region.
The Full Moon Party has bought the Island global
notoriety and it's a fantastic place to party, but Koh Phangan
also has many other sides to amaze its visitors.
The
Full Moon is far more than a party ; it is Had Rin's dance
music festival, with everything from drum ans bass to full-on
psy-trance. This wide, sandy beach in the beach in the south of
Pha Ngan is one of the most beautiful ones. Had Rin is actually
comprised of two popular beaches, Rin Nai Beach on west side of
the peninsula and Rin Nok on the east side. From Rin Nai beach
you can see Koh Samui very cleary. This is also a great place to
catch the sunset. On the beach os 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, 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.
