The first Full Moon Party was held in the 80’s with a small crowd of thirty to twenty travellers. The parties were popularized through word of mouth and now draw over 300,000 people. The party usually goes on for around 12 hours, starting in the evening of the full moon and going on till the next day morning. The best part about this party is the fact that they cater to a wide range of people, they play music from most genres playing house music, R&B, hip hop, reggae and others. You will hear different types of music no matter which part of the beach you are at. The music is not the only attraction about the party. There are some interesting events lined up for those who seek for fun and excitement. Most party goers can look forward to fire skipping ropes and alcohol buckets.
It doesn’t matter which month you travel to Thailand, you can still go for one of the parties because it is hosted each month on the day of the Full Moon. There are bars lined up across the beach and you can find a wide variety of cocktails and drink mixes available. Little booths sell fun party accessories, glow-in-the-dark sunglasses, trinkets and glow sticks.
If you plan to go for this party always wear some footwear and go with as little belongings as possible. Since the party draws a large crowd visitors will have to book places in advance and find a place that is close to the beach. There are several Koh Phangan resorts which will be the perfect place to stay in when attending the Full Moon Party. Visitors should carefully plan out and decide on which Koh Phangan hotels would best suit your needs. From the places available one that stands out is the Rasananda Koh Phangan Resort & Spa which is within walking distance to the party and conveniently located so that you can always find your way back to the hotel after a heavy night of partying.
