Separated by a strip of peninsular, Had Rin Nok and Had Rin Nai are two entirely different beaches on two sides of the island peninsular of Ko PhaNgan in South Thailand.

Had Rin Nai also known as Sunset Beach is the quieter and peaceful of the two, boasting of resorts and more family friendly accommodation options. This stretch of coast is considerably narrower than its twin and the sand slightly rough to the touch, while the sea is considerably shallower during the off season time.

In contrast, Had Rin Nok, known as Sunrise Beach, is a thriving, bustle of activity, home to the famous Full Moon Party that is held every month around the time of the full moon. Clubs and backpacker accommodation line the shore and a continuous throb of trendy techno music can be heard all day long.

It is an attractive stretch of beautiful white sandy beach that draws in happy tourists from around the world looking to party it up in Thailand. The sea is ideal for bathing and beach games and sun worshippers can be found all year around. Jet skiing, surfing, beach volleyball and sun bathing are common and constant activities along this beach.

Many a bar with fancy names caters to the hundreds of mainly youth who come to enjoy the party atmosphere at the beach. During the party time fireworks and music take on an identity of its own.

This beach in recent times has however developed to include a higher end of accommodation options that cater to various types of travellers. You can find manyKoh Phangan hotels located alongside the coast which offer a truly idyllic setting in which to enjoy the sun, sand and surf.
