No one seems to know the origins of the full moon party but legend has it that some tourists found the most beautiful view of the full moon was from the crescent shaped beach at Haad Rin in Koh Phangan and decided to make use of the setting to throw a party. Since then, on every full moon ten to twenty thousand people get set to party on the beach at Koh Phangan. For die hard party goers the party is believed to start a day or two before the actual event. On the day of the full moon it gets into high gear from about 8 pm and lasts till noon the next day, depending on the energy level of the participants.
The party explodes as the evening progresses with various International and Thai DJs keeping the neon painted crowd grooving on the beach, pulsating to music at several venues and pumping out all kinds of different musical genres ranging from techno, trance, drum & base, reggae, dub and commercial hits on about fifteen sound systems along the beach. Powerful walls of speakers throw out music that reverberates in every direction. By simply walking along the beach, party goers can choose the music they want to dance to.
Jugglers and fire eaters also entertain the crowd. An impromptu fireworks display is the highlight of the event. When revellers need a respite from all that dancing they can enjoy delicious Thai food, pasta, burgers, pizza and drinks served from beachfront restaurants on small tables laid out along the sand. Revellers can also wade into the warm waters of the ocean or simply sit on the beach enjoying the view of the glowing moon reflected in the water. Meet guys and gals from all over the world doing their thing and having a blast and this event is the perfect excuse to have a good time.
A cordoned off area is available for those that do not have the energy to get back to their beds, while bungalows are also available close by. There is no charge to attend the festival and no cover charge at the individual restaurants. These events have also spawned other parties such as the Black Moon and Half Moon parties.
