Haad Rin
Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
Haad Rin sunset side to Ban Kai
This long beach runs away from the pier back in the direction of Ban Kai and eventually Thong Sala. The further you get from the pier the better the resorts become and the cleaner the beach. Toward the west the bay is broken up into a series of smaller coves and secluded beaches — this has a remote feel without really being isolated from the rest of Ko Pha Ngan.
