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.
