Koh Phangan is the home of the Full Moon Party - around 20,000 people each month (up to 40,000 at New Year) gathering on Haad Rin Beach for the world's biggest monthly beach rave. Around it sits a whole ecosystem of jungle parties, waterfall raves and Half Moon events.

The party scene

Haad Rin Beach is the stage for the Full Moon Party itself; the satellite events - Half Moon, Waterfall Party, Jungle Experience - fill the days around it so there's almost always something on. Book Haad Rin accommodation early, as it sells out around each full moon.

When to go

The party is tied to the lunar calendar, so there's a Full Moon Party every month year-round. The comfortable, dry peak is December - February; New Year is the single biggest night.
