Hat Rin

Aerial view of Haad Rin beach or Hat Rin in Ko Pha-Ngan, Thailand.

Home to Sunrise Beach, aka Full Moon Party Beach, this is actually one of Ko Pha-Ngan's cleanest and most pleasant beaches, because much of the money from the monthly partying admission charge goes towards the (necessary) cleaning of the sands. Its reputation as party central keeps many people away, so it can be surprisingly crowd-free at times.
