Hat Rin is a sweeping crescent of white sand on the southeastern tip of Ko Pha-ngan, globally renowned as the epicenter of the Full Moon Party. On party nights, the beach transforms into a massive open-air nightclub with neon body paint, fire skipping ropes, and buckets of alcohol. By day, the beach is quieter, lined with bungalows, bars, and restaurants. The surrounding area offers diving, snorkeling, and boat trips to nearby islands. Hat Rin's dual personality, raucous by night, relaxed by day, defines its unique appeal.
Don't miss
- Join the Full Moon Party with thousands of revelers on the beach.
- Snorkel at the nearby coral reefs off Hat Rin's southern tip.
- Watch the sunrise from the beach after a night of dancing.
