The world famous Full Moon Party originally began when a group of tourists arranged a part on the Haad Rin beach to celebrate the most beautiful Full Moon night they had seen, with the best view of the moon. Since then the crowds at the Full Moon parties has increased from 5,000 to up to 30,000 people. If visiting one of these parties is on your list of attractions when visiting Thailand, look for a hotel in Samui as it is just a short ferry ride to the party. A recommended hotel would be the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort & Spa, known for its luxury and ambience.

The Full Moon party usually begins at dusk, when the full moon makes an appearance and as the night progresses, the beach becomes heaven for visitors looking to dance the night away. With up to 5 different stages, playing a variety of music, from trance, drum and bass, techno, reggae, and commercial dance, there will be music to suit everyone’s needs. Fire-eaters and jugglers both entertain and add to the wild ambience and you may even be so lucky as to witness an impromptu pyrotechnic display of fireworks. Most party-goers find the time to paint themselves with glow in the dark pain, to add to the unique experience of a Full Moon party.

If partying the entire night isn’t your cup of tea, then feel free to fall asleep on the beach and wake up to the beautiful sunrise, or even visit one of the beach traders selling a variety of food, or take a dip in the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Once the sun rises, and the party is over, it isn’t difficult to look forward to relaxing on the sandy white shores of a pristine beach the next day, and Koh Phangan is one of the few places in the world where you can party all night yet relax on such a pristine beach.
