Full Moon Party

There are about 10,000-20,000 people every month at this Koh Phangan beach party. It is known as the Full Moon Party. International and Thai DJ's are making the crowd go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body lose control. The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, "commercial hits", house etc on about 15 soundsystems along Haad Rin beach. There are also many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new ones from all parts of the globe. You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and the bars next to the Had Rin Nok beach.

How it all began

The Full Moon party started in the late 80's (and grew in the early 90's) when friends arranged intimate parties in the light at the full moon. A guitar, tape recorder and a beach fire made their night.

Drugs and safety

The fullmoon party is usually a safe place but please keep in mind; keep all values at home in a safe place like a safety deposit box. You can loose them or make a thief happy. Be careful to walk away with strangers you don't know. Stay away from drugs, unless you like Thai prisons or want to end up in a "crazy hospital" in Suratthani. (I guess not) There are undercover police officers out there. Our suggestion is to stay away from so called diet pills (blue-whites etc). People have become seriously sick after consuming too many of these without a prescription from a doctor. Caffeine/taurin drinks such as Lipovitan, Red Bull, M-150, Carabao Daeng etc. can be bought almost everywhere. To most people, they are harmless if you are not allergic, or drink too many. (Caffeine in extreme dosages are probably not that good either, not many drinks 20 cups of coffee just to feel better). Do not accept drinks from unknown people and keep an eye on your own.

Getting there

From Koh Samui
There are boats leaving several times daily from Big Buddha Pier (Bang Rak) and Maenam. Just book your ferry ticket in any travel agency on the island, or directly on the pier.By far the best way is to take a speed-boat from the Bo Phut or Maenam piers on the North of Koh Samui.
