Haad Rin Village on Koh Phangan


Haad Rin is undoubtedly THE best known place on Koh Phangan. Many guests come to the island solely for the monthly Full Moon Party celebrated on Haad Rin Beach. That's why the atmosphere in Haad Rin is usually rather hectic, especially around the full moon dates.
Many things can and have been said about this mother of all parties, but it's probably best you go there at least once and see for yourself! 



Map
For a better understanding of this small, yet chaotic place, we have divided Haad Rin into four chapters: Haad Rin Beach (party beach), Haad Rin West (the sunset side), Sarikantang (or Leela Beach at the Southwestern tip) and the village of Haad Rin itself.
In Haad Rin you will find the biggest selection of international food, an abundance of nightlife options as well as a vast variety of shops with clothes, jewelery, books and virtually anything you can imagine.
You are also in the right place if you feel like watching a current movie. Almost every restaurant shows up to five movies per day, sometimes films which have not even been released in all parts of the world. Try to follow the subtitles, always good for a laugh!

Haad Rin has become a very touristy place and it keeps growing every day. The price level is very high and the vendors are not the friendliest. Even bargaining is not as easy as in other places. 
People looking for a quiet place are definitely wrong in Haad Rin and should not stay longer than a few hours.
Even the freaks who, back in the old days, helped the beach to become what it is now (without intending to do so) hardly recognize their former favorite beach any more and have long moved to other spots on the island.


Nevertheless, Haad Rin Beach is still one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with its fine, white sand and the space it offers. Many old fans of the island consider the beach spoiled by the hordes of tourists and the many jet skis, parachutes, surfers and speed boats. Friends of Haad Rin nowadays see the whole thing from quite a different perspective: On Haad Rin Beach you can pretty much find everything your tourist soul might yearn for.

By the way, topless bathing and tanning is being tolerated nowadays, but only for business reasons. It is still considered disrespectful in Thailand and you will not make friends doing it. It might also be one of the explanations for staff on Haad Rin tending  not to be very friendly.
And you can't score with the old hippie outfit anymore either. Nowadays, it does need to look expensive enough or at least have some sort of designer label. 
Accommodation within the village. In addition there are dozens of hostels now offering bunk beds in dormitories for male, female or mixed clientele.

Suncliff Resort (ซันคลิฟ รีสอร์ท) (HatRin)
Rates: 200 to 1,200 Baht

Conveniently located near both the pier and good shopping and dining, Sun Cliff is in a relatively quiet part of town. Older wooden bungalows are privately spaced along a grassy hill and while very well-worn and obviously partied in, these cheap and basic huts are solid and the beds surprisingly comfortable. Newer concrete bungalows and guesthouse rooms offer clean, more spacious lodging. These bungalows cover a lot of territory along the hillside, running almost to Hat Sarikantang where the cliff side views are unforgettable. Staff are friendly and fairly helpful and the lush, mature gardens make the whole resort have a private quiet, residential feel, refreshing after the mayhem at the parties.
