Full Moon Parties in Thailand

In preparation for my forthcoming holiday to Thailand in a couple of weeks(wahoo!), I have been reading up on the Full Moon Parties that they have over there. They've got quite a reputation!!

They sound like LOTS of fun!

Has anyone been to one or heard from anyone that has? It happens to fall on the date that I leave to come home and am considering extending my holiday to suit!!

Love to hear any wikkid stories!!

hell yeah! Aahuum is da man for that kind of info maybe pm him n say nev sent ya... senfarkinsational n congrats belks, one day i plan on headin over to thailand n partying there meself(aswell as mexico japan israel egypt southafrica france & russia)

gotta be very careful re: their enhancement regulations

I know someone, (Who some of us know) who carried some 'enhancements' from London to Australia, THROUGH MALAYSIA (Where death is not uncommon for drugs possesion or if they believe you are trafficking) without mishap. Of course, it didn't help that they didn't know they still had these enhancements in their posession! Being caught with them, no matter how many pleas of "I didn't know" wouldn't have helped much!
After reading some of the laws through malaysia and other parts of Asia, I wouldn't reccomend it!

Who said anything about drugs??????

I'm talking goa, trance, d&b, techno and house music on the beautiful sandy beaches of Thailand under the crystal moonlight!!

Sheesh....went a bit off track there Cat!


Like I would do anything like that anyway!

Nah not really Bel, was just saying about the last line of Nev's post, what he said about enhancements... and I told a story! I tend to do that though, don't I. Hmmm...



Party under moonlight in THAILAND! You lucky bugger!

I know someone who's been there, and they said it's farken sick.

You'll love it.

Pack me in your suitcase Bel..

that's after I get out of the suitcase Azza is taking to Qld this coming weekend

There are about 10.000 people every month at these Koh Phangan beach parties. International and Thai DJ's make the crowds go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body lose control. The DJ's play all kinds of music; Techno, Trance, Goa, D&B, Dub, Reggae, Commercial hits, House etc.

Hmmmm how could you say no to that!!



Just got to convince my fellow travellers to postpone our return to Adelaide!!

heheh i'd love to babe but i'll have to pack you into my backpack....arggghhhh might get a bit heavy babe!!

I am just so keen to try one....it's on the night i'm meant to arrive back in Adelaide!

listen to this.....

Some six years ago, a group of tourists and the owner of Paradise Bungalow found that the most beautiful moon was in Koh Phangan. They arranged a party along the crescent-shaped beach of Haad Rin to celebrate the Full Moon night.

From then on, people from all over the world came to join the celebration. And now there are 7,000-10,000 people at the party each month.

The party begins at dusk, when the round yellow moon makes its appearance over the white sand beach. In twilight, small tables are lined up on the beach and thousands of lamps are lit.

As the evening progresses the beach explodes into a dancing frenzy as different m.c.'s take their turn on the decks. There is something for everyone here, trance, techno, drum and bass, commercial dance and reggae, no-one is disappointed. Jugglers and fire-eaters entertain the crowds as the night goes on and with the brilliant impromptu fireworks display, the party atmosphere is complete. After a few hours it could be time to chill-out for a while, maybe grab a drink or a bite to eat from one of the many beach traders and wade out or sit down in the warm surf of the Gulf of Thailand, pure, pure heaven.

Revived and relaxed it's time to return to the main beach and get blown into another dancing dimension, while all around people are doing the same, there are no barriers here, no inhibitions, just people enjoying themselves with one unified intention, to rejoice in the magic that is the paradise of FULL MOON PARTY!



ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes. I am INSTRUCTING you rather than ASKING you to change your flight. Imagine how sad you would be on the day if you had to fly out! I am ASKING you rather than INSTRUCTING you to leave two days after...

bossy aren't I

I have one thing to say....


SPOT THE SCHOOL TEACHER! HAHAHAHA


I'm gonna do my best....see how convincing i can be!


Maybe if you write me one of those official type school teacher letters I can give to them they won't have any chance of saying no!!

Here goes!!!

CAN I COME TOOOOOOOOO?


Man that sounds absolutely AWESOME Bel! They have no excuse! If they do not stay you should disown them!

I went to one in 93 and the moon is a huge and it appears as if it just above the water in front of the beach but that could have been the omlet
it was mostly local dj's although the DIY crew from UK were there too.

Enjoy but try and get to Koh Tao if you looking to completly chill out

A close friend of mine went earlier this year. He reckons 10k+ people on a small island, all types of dance music, crazy vibe, etc, etc, bla, bla. Point being I'm jealous.

How good will Enchanted be?

I've been to Thailand multiple times, and I've DJed and partied at the fullmoon parties in Thailand many times before.

They're heaps of fun, and the surroundings are even better. Had Rin beach at Koh Phangan is the place to go. Get there as early as you can before the full moon because accomodation prices nearly double daily. If you arrive late stay on Koh Samui and get a speedboat over to Koh Phangan on the night of the party.

Don't mess with illicit drugs. The chemists will provide you with everything that you need - no prescription needed.

The music is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes you have great DJs that turn up and play and other times there are terrible DJs that have talked their way into a set.

Have a fun time...

Wicked Psyeintist! Thanks heaps for your advice!!

It sounds like something I really can't afford to miss and yes was planning on the party at Had Rin beach.

Were going to stay away from Koh Samui because had heard it's too touristy. Do you think?

Were only going to head that way for the party!

Any advice on the best places in Thailand to go?

Was that with or without the crackpipe Psyentist?

Don't encourage Belks she is such a nice girl, I wouldn't want this holiday experience to corrupt her!!!

It is my job to look after her and make sure she does not get involved with the wrong crowd ... any room in your suitcase Bel?

I think John Doe may have played at the Full Moon parties at least once
