There are concrete roads to HaadRin, but we have warned you that the roads are not in the greatest state and unless consider yourself a good motorbike rider then don't try to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorcycles 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 pick up over the hills to Haad Rin.
For yoga practicing people the islandcan offer some alternative places for example the Sanctuary and Ananda, all offering and colonic fasting.
Bikes have become the best type of transportation on Koh Phangan, the rent is cheap and there are many bikes to choose from, ask at TharaThip Beach Resort for available bikes.
