When to go

The world's most legendary beach party: 10,000 backpackers, neon body paint, fire dancers, and sunrise on Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan.

Year-round (monthly) is the busiest window in Full Moon Party, so accommodation and flights go first. Book ahead. The shoulder weeks either side are usually quieter for the same reason.

Getting Around in Full Moon Party

  • Songthaews (shared pickup trucks) run between all towns and beaches for 100–200 THB
  • Scooter rental costs 200–300 THB/day but roads are steep and accidents are common
  • Walking is the only option within Haad Rin on party night, as all roads close to vehicles
