Location & what to see
Wangta is in Haad Rin, a beach village on Ko Pha-ngan best known for the Full Moon Party, which is held on the beach around the night of each full moon. The sand is 420 m from the hostel, and in the evenings the village fills with bars and beach-side activity, so the area suits guests who want a lively base.
The neighbouring beaches of Haad Rin Nok and Haad Rin Nai are both within a short walk, with Haad Rin Nok 450 m away. The Haad Rin Queen pier is 200 m from the hostel, where the boats dock. Thong Nai Pan Yai beach, 10.3 km away, makes a longer day trip for guests who want to see more of the coast.
The nearest airport is Samui Airport, 14.2 km away on the neighbouring island of Ko Samui, so the last part of the journey to Ko Pha-ngan is by boat. Haad Rin is easiest to explore on foot, with the beaches, the pier and the village all close together, and a day can be planned around a swim on Haad Rin Nok followed by an evening in the village, where the bars are a short walk away after dark.
