The Full moon party on Koh Pangan, Thailand is now a right of passage for any backpacker who comes to South East Asia.
Started many years ago with just a small group of people who decided that on every full moon they would meet and have a party on the beach of Haad Rin. Now as many as over 10,000 people turn up each and every month to party till sunrise.
From early evening people start making their way down to the beach to relax on the sand having a beer or an early bucket watching all the fire shows.
At about midnight the party starts to get wild. The beach will be at its busiest and each bar will be playing its music loud enough to drown the noise of their neighbours. Music ranges from pop classic, hard house and Drum n Bass.
If you are deciding to go to Thailand this year then you will need to know some facts.
· Turn up a few days early to find accommodation in Haad Rin
· If you do not think you can handle the noise of all night parties every night then stay out of town. There are many taxis and boats to get you about whatever the time.
· If you want to leave the island the day after the party book your boat in advance as they fill up quickly.
Also you will need to know of the schedules for the Full Moon Parties.

I hope you have you have a great time and remember that them buckets are very strong and that you will have to pace yourself if you want to last the night. My best is 4pm the next day without anything apart from alcohol in my system. You think you can beat that?
