The Koh Phangan Full Moon Party is probably the most infamous party in the world. For over 30 years this monthly raving has drawn 30,000 plus party goers to Koh Phangan Island in Thailand. Haad Rin is the setting on the southern peninsular of the Island - a sandy beach cove featuring a multitude of sound stages, light and fire shows. Haad Rin accommodation fills very quickly but this is not a problem as party goers come from all over the Island - taxi's are just a few minutes drive from most accommodation destinations. Tickets are bought on the door and guests are issued with a security wristband. The Full Moon Party is usually held on full moon night except where this clashes with a Buddhist holiday - in which case the dates are moved slightly. The taxi rank operates throughout the night allowing guests to return once they are partied out. Or keep the party going at the chill out events mentioned below.

The full moon party stretches across the entire length of the beachfront. In addition to the sound stages and many venues there are both permenant and temporary bars set in place to provide contant refreshment to revellers. Red Bull buckets with Thai rum are very popular and ubiquitous across the beachfront. Keep Koh Phangan tidy is a campaigning theme - bins are provided across the bay so please help keep the place pretty. Party people - no pollution please.
