Haad Rin is the home of the world famous Full Moon party - an extravaganza that attracts 30,000 revellers each month to rave, dance and boogie to their hearts content.
It is also the scene of incredible beauty as the beach and bay span out with white sand and sparkling water.
Haad Rin is also famous as the place where Leonardo Di Caprio did not make the Hollywood film "The Beach". You can buy souvenir t-shirts in Haad Rin with "Leonardo was not here" stamped on the front.
Haad Rin is the night entertainment centre of Koh Phangan with bars and restaurants all over the peninsula. Haad Rin is usually full most of the year and so even when accommodation is not available tourists stay elsewhere and are taxied in for full moon and the general revellry.
Cocohut Resort is located on the Haad Rin Peninsula although is not directly on one of the two main Haad Rin beaches. Cocohut Resort is found on Leela Beach with a stunning beachfront location and an enormous property that extends to the hill top with an amazing range of Cliff & Hillside Bungalows. It is the hills that isolate the beach from the full moon party area. At sea level there are Pool Villas and Executive suites that surround the swimming pool. There is also a Spa and a Beachfront Bar & Restaurant. The resort is one of the finest on the Island and is very reasonably priced. Prices are from 2,050 - 8,900 Baht per night. A special Honeymoon promotion runs to the end of January 2010.
