FULL MOON PARTY FAQS

When are the Full Moon Parties?

Full Moon Parties happen every month, but dates are adjusted around Buddhist holidays so do not always coincide with the night of the actual full moon. View the list of party dates shown above.

When should i arrive?

We suggest arriving in Koh Phangan at least 1-2 days in advance from the Full Moon Party. Transport is extremely busy to arrive the day of. Make sure you also have accommodation sorted prior.

If you decide to stay on another island and travel to Koh Phangan for the Party, make sure you leave early to avoid the queues on transport.

What other parties are there?

Koh Phangan is known to be the party mecca of Thailand with it’s Full Moon, Half Moon, Black Moon, Waterfall and Jungle Parties. If you can’t make it to the Full Moon Party – don’t worry there will be always be somewhere to party on Koh Phangan at any time.

Is it safe?

Yes! The Full Moon Party can be a safe and unforgettable experience, as long as you party smart. Thousands of travellers head to Koh Phangan each month, so it’s important to take the same precautions you would on any big night out.

Stick with your mates, keep an eye on your drinks and belongings, stay hydrated, and avoid swimming in the ocean after drinking. We also recommend carrying only what you need and arranging your transport back to your accommodation in advance.

What happens at these Full Moon Parties?

Expect thousands of travellers, DJs, beachfront bars, dancing, fire shows, neon body paint and music playing along the beach until the early hours.

Different sections of the beach play different styles of music, so you can wander between DJs and bars throughout the night. Most people arrive in the evening and stay for as long as they can keep dancing!

It’s loud, busy, colourful and a little chaotic – but that’s all part of the experience.

Can i go to the Full Moon Party after my ULTIMATE Tour?

Yes! Selected Ultimate Thailand tour dates finish around Full Moon Party dates, so you can keep the adventure going after your tour. Better yet, you’ll have spent the tour making new friends, so there’s a good chance you’ll have a crew ready to head to Koh Phangan with you.

What should i wear to a Full Moon Party?

Keep it cool and comfortable! Shorts, T-shirts, singlets and breathable clothes are ideal for Thailand’s warm weather. Neon clothing and body paint are also a big part of the Full Moon Party tradition. Most importantly, wear proper shoes rather than going barefoot on the beach.

How much does the Full Moon Party cost?

Your biggest costs will usually be accommodation, transport to Koh Phangan, food and drinks. There may also be an entrance or environmental fee to access the party area. Prices can change, so it’s worth checking the latest information before you go.

How long does the Full Moon Party last?

The party usually kicks off in the evening and continues right through until sunrise. You definitely don’t have to stay until the end though – head home whenever you’re ready!

Can you swim during the Full Moon Party?

We strongly recommend staying out of the ocean during the party, particularly if you’ve been drinking. Enjoy the beach from the sand and save your swim for another day.

How do i get to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party?

Koh Phangan doesn’t have an airport, so you’ll need to take a ferry to the island. The best route will depend on where you’re travelling from. If you’re joining us on an Ultimate Thailand tour, your Group Leader can help you work out the easiest onward journey.

Can i go to the Full Moon Party if i am travelling solo?

Absolutely. Koh Phangan is packed with travellers around the Full Moon Party, making it easy to meet people. Joining a group tour beforehand is also a great way to arrive in Thailand solo but leave with a whole group of new travel mates.
