By Kirsty Turner
Haad Rin full moon parties are world renown
The full moon parties that are held on the enchanting island of Koh Pha Ngan have long been famous, and revellers travel here from all over the globe for the chance to dance until dawn on one of the best stretches of sand in the whole of Thailand. However, when the sun comes up and it is time to retreat, those who crave their creature comforts and enjoy a little pampering will want to stay in on of the boutique luxury resorts that are cropping up on Koh Pha Ngan.
Luckily, there are plenty of luxurious places to stay, and many of the island’s leading resorts have organised special full moon packages. These ensure that guests are provided with everything they need to transform their trip into the holiday of a lifetime, including spacious ocean view rooms, private beach access, large swimming pools to lounge beside while soaking up the sun.
This being Thailand there are often also spa rooms which offer a wide range of both traditional Thai and modern spa treatments such as massage, face peels, body wraps and complete makeovers.
The best thing about Koh Pha Ngan’s boutique luxury resorts is that they are run by experienced staff, who carefully plan every detail so you can just go with the flow. Guests will be met from the pier and taken directly to their hotel or resort of choice, and special trips are planned which show guests the best of all that the island has to offer.

Of course, all transportation is provided, as well as packed lunches, plenty of drinking water and everything else that guests could possibly desire in order to get the most out of the experience.
As the sun sets over Koh Pha Ngan on the night of the full moon party, visitors and local people alike start to prepare for an evening of drinking, dancing and cavorting on the beach of Haad Rin, which is located at the island’s southernmost point. More on the Full Moon Party.
People who plan to dance until dawn will want to ensure that they dine in style before hitting the beach. The great thing about Koh Pha Ngan’s boutique luxury resorts is that they come complete with excellent restaurants, where both Thai and international dishes feature highly on the menu. Koh Pha Ngan is famed for its excellent seafood, and dining on freshly caught mussels, fish and shrimp while watching the sun slowly sink behind the horizon is an enchanting experience.
Once you have taken the time to refuel, it is time to hit the beach. Many of the island’s boutique luxury resorts can be found conveniently close to the setting of the full moon party, while those on other parts of the island offer complimentary boat transfers, and arriving at the beach by private boat is an enchanting experience.
The full moon parties on Koh Pha Ngan are so famous that DJs travel to the island for all over the world to spin their latest tunes on the decks. More than a dozen different bars line the beach, all pumping out music long into the night, while the beach itself is adorned with all manner of weird and wonderful decorations such as colourful banners, lights and flaming torches.
