What time does the Full Moon Party start and end?

There is no exact starting and ending time for Full Moon Party. It changes a little bit depending on which time of the year you will be attending to. The general rule is that partying starts at dusk of the day before full moon and ends at afternoon of the next day. Because some of the main activities include fire dance, fire jumping rope and neon paints, you will get more out of the experience at darkness. On the other hand, if you plan to party a little longer seeing the sunset is also good way to start your night.

But those who would rather not be there at the same time as about 30,000 party animals can arrive earlier and have as much fun as later during the night.
