Full Moon Party , Thailand
 CODE:F-FullMoon
 Where : Hat Rin , Ko Pha Ngan , Thailand When: Every month , on the night of the full moon though it`s sometimes moved forward or backward by one day if the full mooon coincides with Buddhist Holiday How Long : 1 Night Koh Phangan is a very special place, there are few places in this world where you can live out your desert island dreams of palm trees and white sand beaches, and still have a blinding night out at a rocking party every month. With the global notoriety that the Full Moon Party has gained as being one of the biggest and best beach bashes in the world, we get more than our fair share of hedonists gracing our shores. Each year the scene here grows with the ever-increasing number of party faithful that return, bringing their mates and spreading the vibe. Haad Rin is home to the Full Moon Party and also houses about 3-5000 rather mad people; it is the island's nightlife capital and has Koh Phangan's biggest concentration of beach clubs that collectively put on the ultimate travellers get together. There are over 12 major sound systems running the length of Had Rin beach, catering for 8000 to 12,000 punters in low season, 15,000 to 20,000 in high season and up to 30,000 at New Year. Within this transient crowd of party animals some highly talented DJ's pass through, banging out their wares to the raging lunar explorers that have landed on planet party. Fullmoon Party is one of world's most popular party, it's a must do once a lifetime especially for young minded travelers. About 10,000 to 20,000 people attending every month at this Koh Phangan beach party, people from all around the world. It is of course known as the Full Moon Party. International and Thai DJ's are entertaining the party until the crowd go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body lose control. The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, commercial hits, house etc. on about 15 sound systems along Haad Rin beach. There are also many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new friends from all corners of the globe. You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and bars next to the Haad Rin Nok beach.
Full Moon Party is not just a normal party but monthly Haad Rin's dance music festival which is famous worldwide, with everything from drum and bass to full-on psy-trance. Paradise Bungalows, the site of the original Full Moon Party, consistently puts on the biggest show with inspired decor and a combination of superb resident and international guest DJs.
Worth looking out for is DJ A, who also holds residency at the Backyard, possibly the most famous after party venue in the world, starting at 11am as Haad Rin's beach shuts shop, licks its wounds and counts the casualties. The Backyard also puts on three cracking nights per week, each catering for the full spectrum of dance music heads in a totally refurbished, two-floor club with mind bending fluoro sculptures. DROP IN CLUB Drop In is another long runner that has been playing a more commercial set to the huge crowd that gathers there. It has loads of different places to chill out and watch the action; playing chart, RnB, hip hop and dance floor classics. PARADISE BUNGALOWS The home of the Original Full Moon Party, Paradise is still the biggest and best venue consistently putting on the largest show. If a big name is visiting the island, you will normally find them here playing alongside the amazing resident DJ A who has more or less coined the tough progressive sound of Haad Rin. THE ROCK The Rock is one of the best paces on the beach to chill out and get a view of the whole party. It is situated on at the southern end of Haad Rin on (you guessed it) a big rock. Expect soulful funky tunes and the best cocktails on the beach. ZOOM BAR Zoom Bar is another psy-trance venue, slightly smaller than Vinyl and a bit more intimate, but banging all the same. From sunset to sunrise the dance floor is a blur of sand, fluoro paint and limbs and it often goes on all day after the party as well. VINYL CLUB The Vinyl Club bangs out full on psy-trance and driving techno to one of the biggest crowds on the beach. It has a monster sound system, loads of podiums to shake your booty on and more than its fair share of hard space cadets. CACTUS BAR The Cactus is one of the first places you come to as you enter Haad Rin Beach, its right in the middle so it gets a load of punters, especially as the sun comes up. Expect a more commercial sound with RnB, hip hop, old school classics and even the odd bit of rock. THE ORCHID The Orchid is the only Drum and Base club on the beach, pumping out quality DnB, breakbeat and hip hop. Check out DJ Kay and his guests on a rocking sound system with one of the most having-it crowds on the beach. BIG BOOM BAR Haad Rin's official house music headquarters playing real / deep / progressive / tech house with a bit of breaks and old skool. Resident DJ Simon Solo plus special guests whip up a sandstorm every month at the FMP and also at Big Boom's regular Friday night party. TOMMY'S Tommy's sound system is a long running psy-trance enclave complete with wacky fluorescent sculptures and some of the maddest punters on the beach. Resident DJ Leung and guests play banging trance and techno at one of Haad Rin's most spacious and colourfully decorated venues. MELLOW MOUNTAIN If you want to get away from the mayhem, but still want to keep an eye on the action - Mellow Mountain is located at the quieter northern end of the beach. There are heaps of cushions and hammocks to chill out on, great milkshakes and soothing tunes to calm you down after a hard session dancing on the beach. OUTBACK BAR If you want to escape the pandemonium and hear some deep and funky house, head to the Outback near the main pier with its no-trance music policy. Check out the stunning d?or, a brilliantly stocked bar and the best food in Haad Rin. BACKYARD CLUB The ultimate after party that starts up at 11 am just as Haad Rin beach shuts down. Some say it is the best part of the FMP with only dedicated mooners mashing it up on the dance floor and the best of the previous nights DJs on the decks; including the infallible resident DJ A.
