There are concrete roads to Had Rin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and only if consider yourself a competitant motorbike driver then do not try to get to Haad Rin, as most accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorbike at the 7-11 at Ban Tai and pay approx 40 Baht for a taxi over the mountains to HadRin.

As a tropical island serves as perfect getaway from all the stress at home, here most may go deserted island of Ko Ma. The island has also a choice of top end yoga interested people resorts for example Ananda or the Sanctuary, sessions and colonic fasting.
