Location & what to see
Haad Rin is a beach village on Ko Pha-ngan, known for its bars, its nightlife and the Full Moon Party held at each full moon. The hostel is 220 m from the beach, within the lively part of the village, and small shops, bars and food stalls fill the streets between the sand and the main path. The village is small enough to cover on foot.
The Haad Rin Queen ferry terminal is 300 m from the hostel, and boats are the way on and off the island, since Ko Pha-ngan is reached by sea. Samui Airport is 14.1 km away on the neighbouring island of Ko Samui, so the last stretch to the airport is across the water. Haad Rin Viewpoint is 600 m away, and Haad Yuan beach is 2.1 km further along the coast.
A day out can start at the Haad Rin Viewpoint and continue along the coast to Haad Yuan beach, or stay on the sand at Haad Rin itself. In the evening the bars around the village are the main attraction, and if your dates fall on a full moon, the Full Moon Party is the big event in the village, with the party taking place on the beach.
What guests say
Travellers rate the service (10.0), the location (9.9) and the cleanliness (9.4) most highly, and the hostel is well regarded overall.
