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.
Full Moon Party in Thailand: There are about 10,000 to 20,000 people attending every month at this Koh Phangan beach party. 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 colours 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.

Location
Fullmoon party is at the south-eastern part of the island at Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan, Suratthani, Thailand.
Getting There
The regular boats are running 4 times per night from Bophut and Big Buddha Beach, Koh Samui (70 Baht). Speedboats are operating all night long. They can be booked at nearly every travel agency for 300-400 Baht per roundtrip.
How to get to Koh Phangan / Getting around
Koh Phangan Accommodation
There are approximately 3000 beds at Haad Rin, Koh Phangan which is of course not enough in that Full Moon Party night, so make sure that you arrive a day or two before the party. If you can't get a room at Haad Rin, then take a taxi to the other parts of the island where you can find all kinds of accommodation. Most resorts require a 3-4 nights stay during the party time.
Guide For Full Moon Party Goers
Don't waste your time at the Full Moon Party if you don't like to meet people from all over the world. There are thousands of them. Dance to pumping beats on a "paradise" beach in the moonlight. Or sit in the sand at small tables with some friends and cheer a Thai whiskey-set or a Thai beer. (Singha, Chang, Kloster etc)
Full Moon Party Information
Please remember to keep this lovely island, the beach and the sea clean! Some people use Haad Rin as a trash can. Other people get very upset by this. If nothing can change this behaviour and nobody keep the environment clean, we can actually assure you that the authorities will finally stop this party! Act now and let the party live on forever!
Don't bring any valuables to the party...take only the money you will need for the night.
Don't take any drugs or drinks from strangers.Wear shoes to be protected from broken glass and hot cigarette butts.
