How to get to Yaad Yuan Beach

Getting to Haad Yuan is possible either by taxi boat, by walking or by 4×4 jeep. The road is hazardous, and therefore we recommend avoiding getting there by scooter. More comfortable is the transfer from Haad Rin Beach to Haad Yuan by boat. Starting from the famous Full Moon Party Beach, a small taxi boat will take you on a 10-minute drive to the beach. You will pass spectacular rock formations, lonely beaches and, with a little luck, you can even see monkeys in the rocks! Taxi boats are waiting for passengers directly at Haad Rin beach. However, if you want to pay a fair price, you will have to negotiate the price. Depending on your bargain skills, the journey from Haad Rin to Haad Yuan costs between 200 and 300 baht per person.

Some sportive tourists love to take a walk to Haad Yuan Beach. The hike from Haad Rin Full Moon Beach runs through the jungle and takes almost 2.5 hours. You will also pass a beautiful viewpoint from where you will enjoy a wonderful view of Haad Yuan. However, please always remember to take enough water, good shoes, and sun protection with you on a hike.
