Posts about Full Moon Party in the Koh Phangan Weather and Hotels Blog
  The Koh Phangan full moon party is an iconic destination and event for many visitors to Thailand especially those travellers, backpackers and uni students who want to party on the beach. Phi Phi Island can get a lot quieter during the full moon party and for many, THIS is exactly the time to visit. My favourite is the Maya Bay Camping when on a full moon, the moon appears over the top of the cliffs by 10 pm.. magical. Also the rates in the hotels in low season can be very good value.

     Not the best weather as it is cloudy and has been for a few days. \Every december it is like this as the south china seas are stirred up and the cyclonic weather from Phillipines throw the tail ends of the weather into the gulf of Siam. It's patchy butthe weather is never really perfect in December. The full moon party has just gone and it was the usual wild affair... loads and loads and loads of partying!!

    I got some pictures downloaded from my camera from Vimarn Samut. It's just 10 minutes walk along the beach and you are right in the heart of the party.The party is in a couple of days and the place is looking very full already... it's going to be a big one!!

Koh Phangan is home to the world’s largest beach party. Ritualistically every full moon, the town of Haad Rin throws an all-night extravaganza to celebrate the majestic height of the lunar cycle. At its biggest, upwards of 10,000 people show up to pay homage to the beauty of the moon and the magic of the human spirit. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to take part in this wild endeavor. From Brad: Since it is on the other side of the island, I took a hi-speed longboat packed with ambitious partyers over to Haad Rin. The moonlit cruise across the ocean totally sets the mood for the late-night event. The sky echoes feelings of Halloween mischief. Anxiously, the boat hums through the salt water; casually sprayed, but never frightened.
Approaching a beach of thousands of people dancing and screaming is quite a thrilling experience. It is a scene of total mystery. What happens at such an eruption of human enthusiasm?
All night long, people drench themselves with their appetites. Whether they are dancing or watching the performers (see photo of man dancing with fire!), everyone seems to be having a fantastic night. Personally, I spent most of the evening lying at small tables on bamboo mats lit by candle-light talking with whomever sat next to me. You chat about whatever comes up, then moments later it happens all over again with a new group of people. Conversations just arise out of the moment, turn their course, and then seem to disappear as quickly as they came. It’s impossible to exhaust the possibilities of dialogue in a situation like that.
Maybe the most amazing point of the night happened on the sunrise boat-ride home. As you watch the sun pour itself out over the ocean, you become reminded of the grand cycle of the stars. As you were once consumed by the mayhem of the Full Moon, you now find yourself staring at the clearest image you could ever know: the sun.
And at that moment, you remember what it feels like to be alive... Labels: full moon party, haad rin Read more of this blog entry!
 With around 10,000 to 20,000 thousand visitors descending on Koh Phangan each month all year round, many resorts have special conditions regarding minimum nights stay. Especially those on Haad Rin beach. You can get to and from the FMP easily from any resort on the island. This is often the choice of returning visitors as it means the choice to party or to relax is up to you. With the pre Full Moon Party warm up starting a few days before the big night we often recommend Haad Rin to those not planning to sleep for a few days!

A quick reminder, the next Half Moon Party is on June 11, 2008. The Half moon party happens twice a month, one week before and one week after the full moon party. It tends to become the most enjoyed of all the parties on Koh Phangan and it unanimously "satisfies the soul" (their credo) of the people taking part.
We have to say that, even if it's not a beach party, the site, in the jungle near Ban Tai Village, is absolutely fabulous! For a map of the Half Moon location, click here.
