Full Moon Party 2022/2023: All You Need To Know About Thailand’s Legendary Party

THE FULL MOON PARTIES WE WENT TO AND WHAT WE LOVED THE MOST

The Full Moon Party at Koh Phangan Island, Thailand, is on the bucket list of even the least party-goers. It is not a surprise though: a party happening in a beautiful Pacific island, which goes all night long, lots of drinks, all sorts of music and where you can enjoy a majestic full moon while dancing – it is to attract many people, really.

It is definitely a worth going party! What caught our attention the most was the energy of the people. Despite the fact of gathering people from different groups (posh, hippie, punk, rock, and so on) everybody is so peaceful and just want to have fun causing no harm to anyone. At least, this was the experience we had.

HOW HAS THE FULL MOON PARTY IN KOH PHANGAN STARTED?

No one knows exactly how the Full Moon Party begun, really. We asked many different people and opted to believe the most told tale: A group of French friends who were spending two months holiday in Thailand decided to throw a farewell party to themselves. Coincidentally, the party fell on full moon day and was attended by other tourists and local friends. The party was so good that the same group of friends reunited next year again for the same festivity, also on full moon day.

We don’t need to say the party got a bit out of control, do we?

WHERE IS THE FULL MOON PARTY?

The original Full Moon Festival is at Haad Rin Beach, in Koh Phangan Island (“Koh” actually means “island”, and “Haad”, “beach”) and that is the biggest and most traditional one. The Full Moon Party however, became famous and it is possible to find parties with the same name in other islands in Thailand, such as Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui or Koh Lanta, although these are smaller gatherings.

HOW IS THE FULL MOON PARTY

 

The party happens at the beach and counts with many drink and food stalls all around. Obviously, it’s much cheaper to buy alcohol from these shops than from the party’s bar and you can bring your own booze from the hotel if you want to. The famous full moon buckets, which is a cocktail served on a beach bucket, are sold between 200 and 500 Baht (6 to 14 US$), depending on which alcohol you choose. Typically, it is a mix of about 300ml of vodka or whisky with a stronger version of Red Bull, soda water and ice.

The full moon party line up pleases almost everyone. The party has 11 stages playing all sorts of music, from pop to Latin, techno to drum’n’bass, and so on. Although, for the real fans of good electronic music, that is the category which will lack in quality the most as the music is rather commercial. Nevertheless, there is always that little corner where the tune is for you.

There are indeed a lot of people attending the party, though it doesn’t get super crowded as the beach is large. Still, we did not enjoy as much the Full Moon Party on New Year’s Eve exactly for this very reason. There were overly too many people, you could barely walk and above all, there were some strange people who did not look so much peaceful as in the other parties and we had the feeling some were ready to fight for no specific reason.

HOW MUCH IS THE TICKET FOR THE FULL MOON PARTY 2022/2023

The full moon party price is 100 Baht (3 US$) and you get a cool wrist band as a souvenir. However, it is possible to get in without paying using one of the hidden sideways. The party is on the beach and there is no supervision once you are there.

Full Moon Party 2022/2023 Outfit: Can You Go On Flip-Flops?

 

We read on other websites that it is not recommended to go with your sandals. We never wore shoes during the three months we stayed in Thailand and the days of the parties were no exception.

 

The main problem of going on flip-flops is when you drink too much and take them off to dance. Trust us, you never find it again – it happened at least five times with Tiago! If this happens, stay cool, you are not alone. In the morning, you will find at least 300 different pairs of flip-flops forgotten at Haad Rin beach. You can simply choose a new one which fits you and job done (that also happened at least five times with Tiago!). Just look at this flip-flop phenomenon as the same with lighters on a daily basis.

Just be very careful not to cut yourself with broken glasses. There are many broken in the shallow part of the sea as stupid drunk people throw bottles at it. Obviously, it isn’t easy to be very careful after a few full moon party buckets (the cocktails, remember?) for this reason, avoid walking with bare foot.

WHERE TO STAY IN KOH PHANGAN FOR FULL MOON PARTY 2022/2023

The majority of people wants to stay at the Full Moon Party beach, which is Haad Rin. If your only purpose of going to Koh Phangan Island is to attend the party, then, this is ok. However, keep in mind that the beach is dirty as parties happen every single day in there.
