About Haad Rin

A southern beach town built around the Full Moon Party, suiting dedicated night owls.

The area spans a narrow peninsula with a wide, sandy beach on the sunrise side and a quieter shore to the west. You can walk between both coasts in minutes. Stay here if you want late nights and fire shows right on the sand, but skip it if you prefer early bedtimes or empty streets.

Getting there
Songthaew taxis from Thong Sala pier, or boats from Samui to Haad Rin pier.
Watch out for
Loud music and heavy crowds during the Full Moon Party.
