generating more than 1 million baht cash flow for the
community. Another popular activity is glow-in-the-dark

body painting. The party crowd will queue up and wait for
their turn to create artistic work on their body; the proud
owners then dance on the beach to show themselves off.
The bright and shining full moon rises in the sky from

the east after sunset and sets in the west just before dawn.
As the moon dips, it signals the end of a night of unforgettable
experience that will have to wait another 4 weeks for the
magical time like this to come back. The only thing that the
visitors can take with them is the memorable happiness that
will last in their heart forever. The same memory also brings
back many people over and over again who are still so fond

of the charm of the full moon on Hat Rin.
Apart from the famous Hat Rin for the full moon party
(Thai name is Hat Rin Nok), there are also the 1.4-kilometer-

long Hat Rin Nai and the 500-meter-long Hat Si Kantang,
both have many lovely resorts and since these beaches
face the west they make the good spot for sunset views.
On the east side of Hat Rin Nok, up to the north, there is
Hat Khon Thi, Hat Yaun, Hat Thian Tawan Ok (Eastern Thian
beach), Hat Wai Nam and Hat Yao Tawan Ok (Eastern Yao
beach). These beaches have many livable cozy resorts

among the peaceful natural atmosphere, though they are
not quite as convenient to travel to. Guests have to travel
by boat from Hat Rin Nok or by 4-wheel drive vehicles
across some mountains from Ban Tai.
