All There Is To Know About Thailand's Full Moon Party

Koh Phangan in Thailand is one of the islands that many people love to visit. It is known mostly for its Full Moon Party, which takes place every month. I have been to this awesome event a couple of times. Although it is on every month, most people visit this place in large numbers between December and March. The majority of people come to Koh Phangan to relax at the great beaches, as well as for the the Full Moon Party.

I think it was December 2008 when I first went to Koh Phangan. I know it was a Christmas anyway and there just happened to be a full moon at the time. Wow, was this place a mind opener. My friend Chrissie and I had a blast out our first ever Koh Phangan Full Moon Party. The Full Moon Party happens at a place called Haad Rin Beach. This place is a really cool area in general and there are plenty of food and drink options here. It was here that I first tried authentic Thai cuisine. I was hooked from the first mouthful!

There is plenty to see and do at the Full Moon Party and there are a number of street performers or buskers to keep you entertained. The music always pumping around the beach and thousands of people dance the night away. The most popular drink at the Full Moon Party is called a "bucket". I have got no idea what is in these buckets, but Chrissie and I shared one. If you're game, check out the fire rope jumping. I could explain it, but you're better off just checking it out for yourself!

Koh Phangan has several hotels, hostels and resorts not far from Haad Rin Beach. I have always stayed at the Seaview Sunrise Resort, which is situated on one side of the Beach. I have never really found it an issue getting accommodation in Koh Phangan, but you might be better of making your booking in advance as there are several thousands of people going to be on the island for the Full Moon Party.

So how do you get there? Well with no flights to Koh Phangan, you have to go via a place called Surat Thani on the mainland or from the island of Koh Samui. Once you get to either of those two places you can get a ferry over to Koh Phangan. There is also an overnight train or bus that will get you to Surat Thani from Bangkok, but you still have to get the ferry to Koh Phangan after that. Hey, there are also Thailand Full Moon Party tour operators that will organise everything for you if you don't want to do it all yourself.

The Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan is really impossible to describe in words and my advice is to just go and see if for yourself to actually understand it all. You will definitely not regret going to the Full Moon Party in Thailand though. It was actually in the Leonardo De Caprio movie, The Beach, some years ago. You might want to check that out to see what I am talking about.
