What And Where Is The Full Moon Party?

by Jordan Ebor

If you want to experience one of the best all-night beach parties, the Full Moon Party in the beach town of Haad Rin on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand is the place to go.

The event has become part of the itinerary of many travellers to Asia and is seen by many as the ultimate party experience with 20,000-30,000 partygoers attending each full moon. The Full Moon Party was also featured in the movie The Beach with Leonardo Di Caprio.

Back in 1985 some tourists organised a party to celebrate the majestic full moon that was going to light up the night sky. News of the event quickly spread and the small party grew to become the Full Moon Party we know today. The first Full Moon Party occurred at a nightclub, Paradise Bungalows, not far from the beach and these days there will often be an international DJ playing on the night of the Full Moon Party.

People from all over the world starting gathering in Koh Phangan early in the morning of a full moon as expectations for the nights festivities of the Full Moon Party commence.

The Full Moon Party commences around sunset, when the moon appears in the skies over Haad Rin and party goers come out of their hotels and head to the beach

There are numerous packed bars and restaurants along the beach, playing all kinds of music to suit all tastes. The restaurants serve not only traditional Thai food, but also American, Italian, or French cuisine.

Once the full moon rises high in the sky, the Full Moon Party reaches fever pitch. Most people spend the evening dancing under the full moon lit sky, but there are also numerous street performers to marvel at right near the beachfront. Here you will find entertainers like jugglers and fire-stick throwers. If you're up for it you can even try throwing the fire sticks yourself.

If you feel courageous enough you can have a go at the famous fire skipping rope. Yep you heard right - the skipping rope is on fire! If you want to participate in this famous game, then you need to head to the Drop-In club. Even if you don't feel like trying it yourself, this is a must see part of the Full Moon Party.

One of the items that the Full Moon Party is famous for is the main drink called the "bucket". The "bucket" drink consists of some sort of whiskey, sugarcane rum, vodka and Red Bull. This "bucket" comes with a few straws so you can share the drink amongst your friends.
