The Thailand Full Moon Party At Koh Phangan Is One Awesome Experience
by Jordan Ebor
Koh Phangan is a smaller island in southern Thailand, not far from the bigger and more popular, Koh Samui. The island is most famous for its monthly Full Moon Party. I have been lucky enough to be on Koh Phangan a few times when there was a full moon. The best times to go to Koh Phangan is probably December to March, but the Full Moon Party happens every month of the year. Koh Phangan is a place where travellers come to chill, relax and hang out at the many beaches. However, the place really comes alive during the Full Moon Party.
It was Christmas 2008 that I embarked on my first journey to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party. I went with my friend Chrissie and she tried to explain all about the Thailand Full Moon Party before we arrived. Now I know that people try to tell you all about a place to get you ready for what you are about to experience, but seriously very few words can describe the Full Moon Party in Kph Phangan unless you're actually there. The Full Moon Party is on at Haad Rin Beach, which is a cool area with heaps of food and drink options here. If you go to Thailand one word of advice, definitely give the Thai Food a go, it was absolutely fantastic.
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!
I have never found getting accommodation an issue on Koh Phangan, since the place has several hotels, hostels and resorts right near the beach. We always stay at Seaview Sunrise Resort located at the far end of Haad Rin Beach. Although there are enough resorts and hotels for accommodation, sometimes it is best to make your booking in advance because of the high number of people visiting for the Full Moon Party.
The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan is pretty easy to get to, but unfortunately there is no airport on Koh Phangan so you have to get there by ferry either from Surat Thani on the mainland or from Koh Samui, the island next door. The closest airport is actually on Koh Samui, so you can fly there and then get the ferry over the Koh Phangan. If you're on a budget there is a train or buses from Bangkok to Surat Thani, then just hop on the ferry out to Koh Phangan. If you're not into the independent travelling then a few tour groups operate tours to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party.
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.
