Haad Rin Beach on Koh Phangan


Destination: KohPhangan

The magic Island in the Bay of Thailand

Total Page Views for KohPhangan: 824,425 - Views this week: 824,425
Haad Rin Beach (also: Hat Rin East, Rin Nok Beach oder Sunrise Beach) used to be the embodiment of Koh Phangan's spirit for many travelers. People who were among the first to see the beach in the seventies claim it was the nicest beach on our planet back then. Today, Rin Beach shows some traces of wear and has become fully developed, but it is still stunning, regardless.
The wide beach, fringed by rocky hills on both sides has won international popularity with its monthly Full Moon Party throughout the last 2 decades. The party which is held right on the beach attracts up to 30.000 people from all over the world and has become a controversial issue in the Thai media.

When you arrive at Haad Rin Beach, you know why this place has become so famous immediately. The flat, wide beach is just perfect for a celebration of these dimensions. The fact that you can witness one of the most breathtaking sunrises on the island serves as another reason for partying all night long.
On both sides the bay is cornered by coral banks. Unfortunately, visibility is hardly ever good enough for decent snorkeling. However, unlike most of the other beaches on the island, Haad Rin Beach offers great swimming throughout  the year, as the water gets deep right away. But be careful from October to February, as there can be high waves. The business association of Haad Rin has organized a daily beach cleaning by a team of at least 6 sweepers who do a good job in cleaning the sand. They set up garbage baskets all over the beach asking visitors to "Kepp Haad Rin clean every day".
