Just Party
There are about 10.000 people every month visit this Koh Phangan beach party.

It is of course known as the Full Moon Party. International and Thai DJ's are making the crowd go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body lose control.

The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, commercial hits, house etc. There are many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new ones.

You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and the bars next to the Had Rin Nok beach.

Where?
Haad Rin Nok beach, Koh Phangan, Suratthani.

When?
Every fullmoon. Please check the Schedule below.

Schedule
IMPORTANT! We are not the organizers of the event. Some of the dates below might be incorrect. Dates might change if there is a Buddhist holiday at full moon. Please check with a travel agency in Thailand.

Approximated dates

Purpose
Don't waste your time on the Fullmoon party if you don't like to meet people from all over the world. There are thousands of them. Dance to pumping beats on a "paradise" beach in the moonlight. Or sit in the sand at small tables with some friends and cheer a Thai whiskey-set or a Thai beer. (Singha, Chang, Kloster etc)

Safety and drugs
The fullmoon party is USUALLY a very safe place but please keep in mind; keep all values at home. You can loose them or make a thief happy. Don't walk away with strangers you don't know. Stay away from drugs, unless you don't like Thai prisons. (I guess not) There are undercover police officers out there. Do NOT eat diet pills. People have become seriously sick or even died after taking too many of these without a prescription from a doctor. Caffeine/taurin drinks such as Lipovitan®, Red Bull®, M-150® etc. can be bought everywhere. To MOST people, they are harmless if you are not allergic, or drink too many. (Caffeine in too high dosages are not good either, no one is that stupid (?) that he/she drinks 30 cups of coffee just to feel better). Do not accept drinks from unknown people and keep an eye on your own. This is NOT an attempt to be a moral guide, we are just trying to tell the actual facts.

Wear Shoes or good sandals. There are too many people dancing or walking around barefoot. If you step on a broken bottle, your holiday can be ruined. On your body you need only some UV color. On your face a smile.

Going there
There are a ferry between Suratthani, Samui and Phangan. You can also go by a speed-boat from Bo Phut pier on Samui. Buy your ticket in any travel agency. Try to book a bungalow or room in advance. There are a lot of people staying overnight so it can be difficult to get a bungalow in the early morning. To find a bungalow, try our Koh Phangan accommodation and bungalow page here .
