Description
Origins:
The party's origins are humble. In the 1980s, a group of backpackers gathered on Haad Rin Nok beach to celebrate a full moon with a bonfire and drinks. Word spread, and the celebration gradually grew into a massive party attracting thousands.
At Kohl's Phangan, the night madness may be a monthly tradition, but due to the way it is observed, it seems to occur only rarely. Over the years, the party grew in popularity, attracting more travelers and evolving into the massive monthly event known today. The celebration of the full moon festival in Thailand starts three nights prior to the actual event. The initial two days are absolute chaos, and then begins the craziest night of the month.
Location of the full moon party
The scene of this event is Haad Rin Beach in Koh Phangan, one of the best places to visit for a honeymoon in Thailand. With DJs playing electronic music throughout the night from sunset until dawn breaks early in the morning, fire-skipping ropes, and alcohol buckets, the place attracts partygoers from all around the world. And it's insane. The full moon festival in Thailand has become one of the most prestigious nightclub beach locations in the world.
Cactus Bar, Sunrise Beach Club, Drop-In Bar, Zoom Bar, and The Rock are a few of the high-end places to hang out with strangers and friends.
How do I get to Thailand's full moon party?
