Koh Phangan parties are famed the world over. Each month, under the cool white light of a full moon anywhere from seven thousand people in the off season to thirty five thousand in peak season pour out of their Koh Phangan accommodation to dance, listen and let loose.
Besides Bangkok bar girls, the full moon party is probably the number one reason for Thailand’s reputation as the land of pleasure and sin. Call it Eden or call it the Asian Las Vegas, it’s somewhere in between. The image of a western tourist in a Bangkok bar, surrounded by beautiful Thai girls is pretty magnetic. It’s brought more than a few lonely men and women across the high seas.
Koh Phangan parties are now played by some of the world’s biggest DJs who are more than happy relax in free accommodation on this paradise island for a few nights and play to the immense crowd. The tunes generally hover around House, Transe, Jungle and more recently Dub and Dubstep. The vibe is always high, high energy and the crowd is enormous and notoriously easy to please.
Its hard to really grasp the magnitude of one of these parties without actually experiencing it. Unfortunately, as with Bangkok bar girls, the few fun details to spread are what everyone hears. What’s missed in the rumors that spread around the world about the full moon party is the wholesome side, the fact that this is thousands of people together on a beach, under a moon dancing and sharing joy.
What’s truly unbelievable about Koh Phangan parties is the backdrop. The tropical Pacific around Thailand’s islands is the very epitome of beachside paradise. That is what makes this a truly transcendent experience

Tropical Islands for Parties
Everyone likes a good party. If you are a young traveler or just someone keen on having a fun time while enjoying the tropics, then finding the perfect party island should be your priority. There are a lot of tropical destinations in the world and all of them are beautiful, however, not all of them offer the party climate you may want.
One of the best places to discover wild party islands is in Greece. Visitors flock to the country for its serene weather, stunning beaches, warm waters, and crazy nightlife. The two main destinations are Ios and Corfu. Corfu is located on the west coast of Greece. There are regular late night parties outside of the famed Atlantis nightclub and party goers all seem to stay at the notorious Pink Palace. During the day people soak up the beautiful Mediterranean sun and then party all night long.
Ios see a lot of tourists who want to do one thing: party. Ios is not only a party island but it is also beautiful and filled with culture (Homer was from here!). The island has a lot of tropical beaches with crystal clear blue water. At night, everyone comes out for some great seafood and Greek dining before spending the evening doing body shots of each other and waking up on the beach. Most party goers end up staying out until sun rise and sleep it off while getting a tan during the day. This is an island for the night owl.
For those looking to get out of the Mediterranean, you can head over to Southeast Asia and the islands of Bali and Ko Phangan. Bali is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Located in Indonesia, this huge island has a bit of everything. And those looking for a party will find it on Kuta beach. Besides great surfing, this spot is known for its beach parties and excessive nightlife. Here the tourists get loud, get down, and get crazy. It’s a cheap destination making it really popular among backpackers, Aussies, and Kiwis. After you burnt yourself out at night, treat yourself to a nice massage during the day.
Bali might be famous worldwide but Ko Phangan is the world’s premiere party destination. This island is well known to all travelers. It hosts the famous Full Moon Party every month, when 20,000 or more people descend on Haat Rin beach to consume large quantities of alcohol and dance until dawn.

There is always an excuse to party, whether it is a Full Moon, Half Moon, or Black Moon party. After a few of the islands famous alcohol buckets, you won’t care what party you are at.

Full Moon Party Schedule for 2009
Full Moon Party Schedule for 2009
Author: Matthew CoeThe 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.
