BEACHES
Fullmoon took place for the first time with a handful people having a beach party at Haad Rin Nok more than 20 years ago. They danced in the shining moon light and more backpackers turned up every party. Currently there are a estimated number of 8000-16000 foreigners who are participating and dancing to techno, drum n' bass, and other music tunes.Experienced DJ's deliver the music from the beach bars at Haad Rin East Side and from the the town.
Situated only 18 km from the northern side of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Siam is the island of Koh Phangan. The Island is much quieter and relaxed than Koh Samui, just with the exception of the full moon beach party that attracts every month around 5 - 10,000 visitors arrive for the infamous full moon party in Haad Rin.
Like it's neighbour island Koh Tao, Koh Phangan has been initially found by young people searching an escape from the overcrowded island of Koh Samui and today, the island has a large chooice of things to do, bars and clubs, bungalow resorts and spas.
Kohpangan is full of natural bays and mountains, some are reachable by a treck over jungle paths or taking a taxi boat.
The island's weather is almost always beautiful. Blue-sky days and a steady ocean breeze are the norm. For the purists, end of December to late of March is the best vacation island weather.
