The Koh Phangan Full Moon Party: Everything You Need to Know
A practical guide to one of the world's most famous beach parties: when it happens, how to reach Haad Rin, where to stay, what to bring and the safety essentials that matter — because the Full Moon Party is genuinely worth doing once, and significantly better when you're prepared.
Read guide → GuideHalf Moon Festival Koh Phangan — The Complete Guide
Everything you need to know about Koh Phangan's twice-monthly jungle rave: a purpose-built Ban Tai forest venue with multiple stages, a curated electronic program and a crowd that comes for the sound. When it happens, how to get there, what to bring and how it compares to the Full Moon Party.
Read guide → GuideThe Koh Phangan Waterfall Party — What to Expect
The third major party in Koh Phangan's lunar calendar — an open-air music event deep in the jungle near the Phaeng and Sramanora waterfalls. It happens around the new moon, draws a crowd that comes for the jungle setting and the sound, and requires different preparation from the Full Moon Party on the beach.
Read guide → GuideThe Koh Phangan Jungle Experience — What to Expect
The first beat of Koh Phangan's lunar party calendar — an outdoor jungle rave in the hills above Ban Tai, held three nights before each full moon. Smaller and more underground than the Full Moon Party, it draws a crowd that knows the island's monthly rhythm and comes for the forest setting rather than the spectacle.
