Pick your dates using the Full Moon Party calendar

Most of the parties are held during the full moon or near the day of full moon. The party can be on weekend or during the weekdays. However, if the full moon lands on a Buddhist holiday, the party is usually changed to the next normal day. Always check the exact date from the staff at your accommodation because of the possibility of the Full Moon Party calendar changing schedule. Normally, the full moon happens once a month but sometimes there may be even two full moons during the month.

New Year’s Eve Full Moon Party

In addition to the monthly parties, the Full Moon Party is also held on New Year’s Eve. Every 31 of December, tens of thousands of travelers head to the island of Koh Phangan and celebrate this additional Full Moon Party.

When should I travel to Koh Phangan and the Full Moon Party?

November to April is the peak season in Thailand. However, most people travel to Koh Phangan and the Full Moon Party from February to April. This is because the end of the year is rainy season in Koh Phangan. This means that the weather may be worse during the party. Because Koh Phangan is literally like a paradise, the party still goes on when it’s raining. The temperatures keep above 20°C even during the nights so you will never feel chilly.

If you would rather spend the party with smaller crowds, travel any other time of the year. Just be aware that there will still be thousands of people. The Full Moon Party is always a popular event for travelers in Thailand.
