Haad Rin is the main place on the island where all the full moon comotion happens. We knew not to stay right on this beach as its too hectic and not the cleanest of places. Luckily we bumped into a lovely couple on our way to the island who recommended staying on Haad Juan, where they live, its beach further up from Haad Rin that is only a 10 min taxi boat ride away. It was a gorgeous little beach with its own places to eat and drink. Eden was definately one of our favourites by night whilst Big Blue was heaven to chill out in throught the day when the heat got too much for us. We managed to find a couple of cheap bungalows there, they were quite basic with outside toilets/showers and they only had electricity from 7pm till 7am, but what more do you need???
Haad Tien was just north of Haad Rin and was just as pretty. The Sanctuary was based here, which is where Greg took Kim for her birthday so she could treat herself to a massage and a manicure/pedicure.
The full moon party (and Kims birthday)...
Not only is it celebrated on the day of the full moon but there are parties every half moon, black moon, the day before the full moon and the day after, three days before and five days before... basically whatever day your there you will be guarenteed to have a party to attend to.
We went on the night before and the night of the actual full moon. Both were brilliant. With glow and the dark paints out in force, everyone was covered from head to toe and the atmosphere was crazy. The beach becomes packed full of nutters drinking and dancing the night away. Definately a birthday to remember.
Funny note: Dentist in Thai is pronounced 'morefun'
