Starting in the late eighties the Full Moon Party became famous all over the world partly due to the increasing popularity of (electronic) dance music in the nineties. Nowadays big sound systems on the beach play everything from psy-trance to house and techno and from RnB to drum 'n bass. Enter the beautiful and huge party zone on the beach with blacklights, fluorescent colours, fireworks and thousands of happy people dancing and partying under the light of the full moon until sunrise… You should definitely experience it at least once. The entrance fee of the party is 100 Thai baht per person.
The nicely decorated white arena at Paradise Bungalows is still the biggest and best venue with the coolest atmosphere. You can expect quality house and progressive house played by resident dj A and occassionally international guest dj's. Here it all started more than 15 years ago and it was here were global dj heroes like Sven Väth and Danny Rampling played in the past.
Next to Paradise at the furthest southern point you can relax and enjoy a great view on the beach at The Rock. At the end of one of the small main streets that lead you to the busiest part of the beach you will find close to each other several bars and clubs banging loud music and making the crowd go wild. Drop In Club is a popular place playing popular hip hop, RnB and music from the charts. Next to it you find Zoom Bar and Vinyl Club both playing psy-trance and techno. The Cactus Bar is playing mainstream tunes and for banging jungle and drum & bass you can visit the Orchid. If you like trance you can also go to Tommy’s. On the northern end of the beach you can relax, have a milkshake and sit or dance in a mellow atmosphere in the Mellow Mountain.

Because of the huge popularity of the full moon parties it is recommended to book your accommodation in advance. If you do so you will be sure to stay in a nice place and not to be overcharged. Keep in mind that it is easy and cheap to take a taxi to Haad Rin from anywhere on the island. Resorts and hotels in Haad Rin Koh Phangan >>
