this island is for all the young people. loud music until 5am, drinks.. i even jumped through a ring of fire on haad rin beach. i didnt go to the full moon party as it wasnt happening while i was on ko pha-ngan. rent a room thats a few minutes walk from the beach, otherwise the music will keep you up all night. Do NOT rent a room at the ‘drop in club’ or whatever its called…we were so close to the party that the bass actually moved my bed during the night!
