Haad Rin is the beach where the Full Moon Party is held - the party that made Koh Phangan famous for many people. This page is still being written, and we are adding our own experience of the party.

What we can already say from our time on the island: two days before the Full Moon Party there was hardly a free room left on Koh Phangan, and we found ours at midnight. If you are coming on party dates, book ahead.

For the other beaches on the island: our Koh Phangan guide.
