What to expect on 24 Nov
The format on 24 November 2026 is exactly what it has been for decades: tens of thousands of people on Haad Rin's Sunrise Beach, dozens of bars and sound systems lining the sand, neon UV body paint vendors working the strip from late afternoon, and fire shows that run all night. There is no single stage, no headline act — just zones you move between at your own pace.
Plan to arrive before midnight to see the beach fill up progressively; the atmosphere from around 10 pm onwards is its own spectacle. Phone signal collapses in the thick of it, so agree a meeting spot with your group before you go in. Bring cash (small notes) for the entry fee, drinks and your ride home. Leave passport and extra cards locked at your accommodation.
Getting back from 24 Nov is the part most people underplan: songthaew demand after sunrise is high and prices go up. Arrange or pre-book your return before you leave for the night, or be prepared to wait and pay a premium.

Full Moon Party November 2026 — answered
- When is the Full Moon Party in November 2026? +
- The Full Moon Party in November 2026 is on 24 November 2026 — a Tuesday. This is a confirmed date from the Haad Rin Business Association; since 2026 the party is held on the actual full-moon night. The party takes place on Haad Rin Sunrise Beach (Haad Rin Nok) on the south-east tip of Koh Phangan.
- Do I need to book tickets in advance? +
- No — there is no advance ticket for the Full Moon Party. You pay a beach entrance fee in cash at the gate on the night and receive a wristband. Ignore any site claiming to sell advance tickets. What you do need to book ahead is accommodation: Haad Rin fills out weeks in advance for every full-moon night, especially in peak season (December to April).
- What time does the Full Moon Party start and finish? +
- Bars on Haad Rin Sunrise Beach open from early evening and the beach fills progressively from around 9 pm. The energy peaks between midnight and 4 am, with fire shows and fire-skipping rope performers running throughout the night. Most people leave between 6 and 10 am once the sun is fully up; the last bars stay open longer.
- What should I wear to the Full Moon Party? +
- Dress casually in something you do not mind getting paint, drinks or sand on. UV and neon body paint is the signature look and is sold at stalls along the Haad Rin strip in the hours before the party — you do not need to bring any from home. The firm rule is footwear: wear closed shoes (trainers), not sandals or flip-flops. The sand hides broken glass and fire performers regularly catch exposed feet.
- How do I get to the Full Moon Party from other parts of Koh Phangan? +
- Haad Rin sits at the southern tip of Koh Phangan. From Thong Sala and most beaches, shared songthaew pickup-trucks run to Haad Rin on party nights; from south-coast beaches a longtail boat straight to Haad Rin pier is often quicker. Line up your transport back before you arrive — demand after sunrise is high and prices climb. Some night ferries from Koh Samui also dock at Haad Rin pier directly.
