Full Moon Madness

Don’t expect to get a room without major advance reservations around the time of the full moon (every month) at Ko Pha-Ngan.
The famous full moon parties, which attract as many as 20,000 people to all-nighters on Haad Rin’s Beach, are now part of the island’s international claim to fame.
Paradise Bungalows, the site of the original full moon party, consistently puts on an inspired show with wild decor and a combination of superb resident and international guest DJs.
Paint yourself in UV colors, dance under the black  light and go wild to techno, trance, goa, drum n’ bass, dub, reggae, commercial  hits, house and even blues music.

In all, there are roughly 15 sound systems blasting all night long at Haad Rin Beach. People gather and meet others from all corners of the globe at small tables all along the beach
just order drinks and food from  the restaurants and bars.
There’s even an ‘after party’ now. The good news is that if you do go to bed early, you may have the dive boat all to yourself  if you do dive the next day after the full moon party. Everyone else will be nursing a hangover.
