Full Moon Party Thailand

Full Moon Party is the sickest party of Thailand - or perhaps of the whole world? Each month, gather around 10,000-30,000 partygoers on the beach of Koh Phangan to party under the full moon. And the party goes vehemently we can tell you!

Party in Koh Phangan

The clock start 17:00, without any preparation, we set foot on the party island of Koh Phangan. We came from the nearby Koh Tao from and had a downright chaos, madness, paranoia expect when leaving the ferry, but that was not true. There was a very relaxed atmosphere, it was not crowded at the pier and to make matters worse we were not harassed by dozens of taxi drivers.

Because we were early, we decided to go for a quiet along the beach. Fishing boats bobbing around, the sun went down, and children played on the beach. Nothing could have guessed what madness we ended a few hours later ..

Haad Rin Beach

Transfer between the pier and Haad Rin Beach (scene), shuttling dozens of blue taxis that you 100 baht per person for the Full Moon Party. Once can begin the great shopping.

Treat yourself to a neon outfit, make-up or paint the craziest figures and displaying on your or someone else's body and provide yourself (MUST !!) from a bucket alcohol. Do not be afraid to seize wrong, because really EVERYTHING is available. Finally, you pay a mere 100 baht entrance fee and can begin the party.

At 22:00 we got enthusiastically to the beach. Our eyes were blinded by fire, neon signs, black lights, dancing lights, fire shows and crowds. A few steps later popped a half-naked drunk from an elevated chute into the audience. Ten meters away, we saw rotate two Thai men with a burning rope. What happened there?

Skipping to the Full Moon Party?

Oho!! .. we looked really out of our eyes! People, one by one, jumps over a burning rope. Just skipping a la 'in spring: the curve goes in ... "which children in my class in the Netherlands show daily in the schoolyard. I guess I never similarly to rope-jumping children can look after experiencing the Full Moon Party in Thailand. What motivates these people to do this, too weird?

It was just gloating and we soon had to laugh at appetizing. Burning ropes that end up in someone's neck or put pants on fire, it was just the normal course of business. One after the other victim had a souvenir permanently present in the form of a burn.

Bucket Alcohol

Full Moon Party Koh Phangan Thailand

It is a one kilometer long festival, with over bars, and music venues where you can dance. You will also find hundreds of stands with buckets. Buckets that you can fill with alcohol. You look really anyone walking. These are usually mixed drinks that you can buy for a good price. A vodka redbull, moijito, jack daniels cola, you name it. You will pay between 150 and 500 baht for such a bucket depending on the strength.

Watch out! You buy at first a small bottle of alcohol and a can of soda, but behind the scolding they sometimes tamper with the content. Stand so that you can see what they have in casting or ask if you can mix it yourself. Please be safe than sorry!
Atmosphere during the Full Moon Party Thailand.

Despite the crazy fire acts and drunks the atmosphere is considered good. Not at all pushy or unfriendly. Everyone is there to have a memorable time and you choose one yourself how you want to organize it. Nobody forces you to throw back to jump rope or dozens buckets. From a distance people watching is an experience in itself, because you see a lot of 'crazies' pass.

After midnight the beach fill up and it's a lot busier. The revelers also become more influenced so watch your step. Police only have we seen at the entrance; on the beach, not at all. It all seems to regulate itself in a crazy...

Bedtime

Two o'clock at night and we thought it was enough. Everything is possible in Thailand, many tourists have gone before us so why not (speed) boat go to Koh Tao? There are also boats going to / from Koh Samui from the Full Moon Party, so that would be a cinch to go. Right?

But soon we heard from one boat after another taxi-driver that no one is going to Koh Tao, unless you want to take a private speedboat for 30,000 baht? Well, no ...

Still not quite we believed it and we took a taxi to the pier of Koh Phangan. Once there it was completely deserted. Whether there was a boat to Koh Tao? Yes, the next morning at 08:30 am!

It's Over

Remember, too, but not that accommodation is available on Koh Phangan before and during the Full Moon Party. The whole island is completely full! But we decided to go back to the party which was as exuberant as an hour ago. We found a special loser section of the beach for people who were sick, weak, nauseous or tired. Here we closed -if the Konrad our eyes and we awaited the sunrise.

Comfortable it was obviously not very festive and it was, for us, no longer as it was already half past six. We took a breakfast at the local bakery and then in the taxi to go to the pier. The sun was already up, locals were playing sports at the nearby park next to the ferry. Exhausted we finally flopped down on luxury chairs Lompraya ferry and almost immediately we fell asleep. An hour later we awoke from a coma and we got off to a fitted Koh Tao.
