Why You Should Attend Koh Phangan's Full Moon Party – A Beach Celebration Like No Other!

While the pandemic may have caused the famed full moon parties of Koh Phangan to go on hiatus, once back in full swing, they are not to be missed and here’s why.

Beachside Setting

It’s not every day you get to party on an 800-metre beach which is exactly what you can do here! During the day, the shores of Haad Rin Beach on the island’s southernmost tip offer a laidback and idyllic setting to soak up the sun; come nightfall, it’s transformed into the ultimate party playground under moonlit, starry skies.

Meet New People

Due to its global fame, the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan attracts anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 partygoers from around the world. It’s a great place to meet like-minded revellers who share similar interests in music and dancing; you can easily end up befriending total strangers to share this joint celebration of life.

Fantastic Music

Featuring international and local DJs and several powerful sound systems, this event offers an eclectic array of music at different sections of the beach. Those staying at a Koh Phangan resort and visiting the party can look forward to dancing the night away to drum & bass, trance, techno, reggae, pop, rock, hip-hop and house!

Fun Entertainment

Part of the allure of the Full Moon Party is its fiery entertainment, quite literally. Here, you will find fire dancers and fire-eaters who wow the crowds, not to mention fireworks that light up the night sky. You sometimes also get flaming ropes for those brave (or drunk) enough to try a more extreme form of jump rope!
