The most popular of the bays, Haad Rin and Chaloklum always have a scattering of sun worshipers but there's also quieter, more secluded beachesand bays. Koh Phangan's monthly FullMoon Party is asia's most famous beachparty, with international DJ's from across the globe lining up to have the honor of playing. The island is about 2.5 hours from Surat Thani Province and approximately 45 minutes from Samui by boat. Some people think Phangan is just another heaven for budget traveler or party freaks and everything focused on the Fullmoon Party at Haad Rin beach.
