Koh Phangan Full Moon Party
The Koh Phangan Full Moon Party is the end all and be all of parties and one party many travelers must attend every year. Be prepared for a rollicking great time but remember to watch out for your personal safety and stay out of trouble.
If you plan on attending one of the full moon parties you might want to keep a few things in mind:
- While there is a drug culture related to the Koh Phangan full moon parties, drugs are illegal in Thailand and if caught you will face significant fines, jail time and or deportation and blacklisting from the country.
- Plan ahead and book accommodations early. With over 20,000 people attending each party you want to make sure you have a place to stay.
- If you want to party but don’t want to deal with the noise all night long book a hotel out of town.
- If you want to leave the island the day after the party book your boat in advance as they fill up quickly.
- Police enforcement is stepped up during the party and while they are there for your protection they are also there to make arrests if you get out of hand.
With that in mind remember to look out for your own safety and while everyone loves to party it up doing so to excess could have very real implications. Listed below are the dates for the 2012 Koh Phangan full moon parties.
