Full Moon Party Koh Phangan
January 14, 2025
The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan is one of the most famous and vibrant beach parties in the world, attracting thousands of revelers each month. Held on the night of the full moon on Haad Rin Beach, this legendary event is renowned for its energetic atmosphere, eclectic music, and stunning location.
The first Full Moon Party is said to have been improvised at a Paradise Bungalows on the beach in 1983 as a token of thanks to about 20–30 travelers, though the accuracy of this is disputed, as is the date of the original event. The parties gained fame through word of mouth, and the event now draws a crowd of about 5,000–30,000 every full moon.
