Full Moon Parties worldwide should take note as the signature event on Haad Rin beach in Koh Phangan is getting bigger and better each year with its ever increasing popularity among the globe’s party people. Having originated in the late 80’s the Full Moon party has evolved in size and scale from its early days when a group of tourists chose this crescent shaped venue for an intimate gathering on full mooned nights with music and friends. Tipped as the most spectacular location in Thailand from which to view the full moon, Koh Phangan continues to captivate revellers to this day when they flock to its white, sandy beaches for some harmless fun and frolic once a month.

Drawing crowds of up to 30,000 people a night the Full Moon Party is a jam-packed event filled with music from international and local DJ’s, UV painted multitudes and fantastic entertainment. Beginning in the crimson coloured hours of dusk the beachfront is lit up with dozens of lamps and lined with quaint tables for the party to follow. Next the dancing masses take centre stage as the revelers dance the night away to every conceivable genre of music spinning under the receding light of twilight. Whether it’s Trance, House, Techno, Reggae, Drum n Bass, Dub, Goa or pop hits the 15 sound systems strategically placed on Haad Rin beach will keep your toes tapping and grooving to the infectious rhythms of the night. Vibrant fireworks displays and jugglers are also scattered along the venue which is also lined with several eateries offering scrumptious snacks and meals amidst the breezy atmosphere of the beach. Those who wish to simply unwind with a refreshing beverage are also welcome to do so as the moonlit atmosphere along the Gulf of Thailand offer breathtaking vistas and the soothing rush of waves crashing against the shores. Home to a plethora of cosy beach bars such as the Cactus Bar, Green Mango Bar and Drop-In Bar other popular drinking venues in Haad Rin include Zoom, Boom Boom and the Vinyl Club while The Orchid is also frequented by regular full moon party attendees.

Those in search of a breathtaking hideaway hotel in Koh Samui will be more than pleasantly surprised at the Anantara Bophut, Koh Samui. Ideally situated in tranquil Fisherman’s Cove along Bo Phut beach it is little wonder that this traditional Thai style rest is considered one of the most captivating Koh Samui hotels in Thailand.
