Advice for the FMP
Steer clear of possible problems at the party
The Full Moon Party is great fun. It is also a safe event. Over the years work has been done with the police and emergency services to improve the safety of the party. Having said this it is always possible for those who get too drunk and too carried away with the moment to make some elemental blunders. Below is a list of do’s and don’ts to make sure your FMP experience leaves you no more damage than a hangover.
Best Bars in Haad Rin
Guide to the best drinking spots in Haad Rin
Haad Rin is a party town. It is the party town in Thailand since it has the biggest party in Thailand. However, Haad Rin is nothing like other nightlife areas in Thailand such as Sukhimvit in Bangkok, Pattaya and Patong in Phuket which combine buying sex with partying. There is only one red light area in Koh Phangan (on the road between Ban Tai and Haad Rin) and the fun to be had in Haad Rin is very much removed from the prostitution scene.
There are lots of great bars in Haad Rin. It is not only along the main party beach of Haad Rin Nok that you will find bars but also in the town, by the port and on the smaller Haad Rin Nai Beach. Most bars sell both Thai favorites and Western food such as pizza and English pub grub. Many bars also have drinks promotions and happy hours to get the punters in. Naturally as the Full Moon Party approaches various bars have warm-up parties to get people in the mood for the big event. Here is a list of some of the best bars in Haad Rin.
FMP Social Media
Getting up-to-the-minute informartion on parties in Koh Phangan
Facebook, tweet, Google +1 and myspace are just some of the many social media or networking sites that are commonly used. They are an ideal way to put out information, updates, post photos and videos, make comments and 'like' various things. Social Media require little knowledge of computers and the internet to use and best of all its free.
The downside of social media is that they tend to be lacking in-depth information and they often provide the reader with a stream of 'froth' - irrelevant and frankly useless information. Twitters about people having a bath or hangover add nothing to my enjoyment of the internet. Below is a list of some of the better social media available about the Full Moon Party, Half Moon Party, Black Moon Culture, Backyard Party, Jungle Experience and the other numerous parties happening on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan.
Jungle Experience
Having a techno time in the jungle!
The Jungle Experience Party is held near the village of Ban Tai on the Thong Nai Pan Road. It happens 2 days before the Half Moon Party and 2 days before the Black Moon Party. The party is free to enter before 11pm. after which time it is 300 THB with 1 free drink. Techno, psy-trance and Phangan sound await.
