Koh Phangan Resort - Full Moon Party |
|
The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan is an all-night beach party that takes place on Haad Rin Beach on the night of every full moon. The first Full Moon Party was improvised at a wooden disco not far from the beach in 1985 for giving thanks to about 20-30 travelers. The Full Moon Party gained fame quickly through word of mouth and the event now draws a crowd about 20,000-30,000 every full moon evening. The party carries on until the sun rises the next day. All the bars on the sunset beach of Haad Rin town stay open and play music such as R&B, drum and bass, trance, house and reggae.
The event has become a part of the itinerary of many travelers to Asia. Entry to the event is completely free. In recent years, local entrepreneurs have attempted to expand upon the event with spin offs like the Half Moon Party and Black Moon Party. During this time Koh Phangan resorts gets filled to the brim, so make sure you book your Koh Phangan resort well in advance.

Tips to Full Moon Party
-
Take your passport copy with you, and keep original passport in the resort’s secure safe.
-
Do not bring your valuables to the party. Thousands people are there, you'll never catch the thief.
-
At the party, you may forget or lose your bags, so it’s better if you leave them at the resort.
-
Bring enough money for the drinks and keep it attached to yourself.
-
Take the resorts details for contacting the resort in case of emergency.
-
Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken bottles but do not wear the expensive ones.
-
Take good care of your camera, you're not going to lose only the item but also memories of the good times.
-
Keep away from DRUGS, no matter what anyone says.
-
Someone might try to sell them to you but remember DRUGS are ILLEGAL in Thailand and VERY STRONG PENALTIES is the order of the day.
-
Do not eat or drink anything that is offered by strangers.
-
If you don't plan to stay up all night at the party, you are advised to stay in bungalow facilities outside Haad Rin (unless you think you can sleep with very loud party noise). Besides, there are more than hundreds bungalow's to choose from and you can go back to your bungalow anytime you like by all night taxi service.
