Situated about 12 miles from the northern side of Samui in the Gulf of Thailand is the island of Koh Phangan. The Island is much quieter and relaxed than Koh Samui, only with the exception of the full moon beach party where between 5 - 10,000 visitors come on the island for the famous full moon in Haad Rin.

The southeast part of Koh Phangan is the main party area including Haad Rin and the fullmoon party beach. Most of the area surrounding HaadRin is mountains making most of the beautiful fine white beaches unaccessable by road, the only way to get to them is by long tail boat from HadRin.
