Location & what to see
Haad Rin is the beach village at the southern end of Ko Pha-ngan, a busy stretch of sand best known as the setting of the Full Moon Party, which takes place around each full moon. Bars, restaurants and small shops fill the streets behind the beach, so the village has a sociable atmosphere that many travellers come to the island for.
Haad Rin Nok, a beach 350 m from the hostel, and Haad Rin Beach, 50 m away, are the closest stretches of sand, and the Full Moon Party site is 600 m away. Ferries call at the Haad Rin Queen terminal, 900 m away, which links the island with nearby islands. Further up the island, Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach is a quieter bay with a sandy shore, and Samui Airport on Ko Samui is 14.6 km away across the water.
A day can start with a swim and a walk along the sand, then continue with a snorkelling trip or a hike into the hills of the island, which keeps the hostel's own activities close at hand. In the evenings the village fills with music and people heading to the bars along the beach. Boat crossings between the islands can be rougher in the rainy months, so it helps to build flexibility into a day trip.
