I stayed in Koh Phangan for 5 nights at a place called The Party Hostel. It lived up to its name! Met a lot of cool people there and had some great nights out. The final night of mayhem was the Full Moon Party. It was a good laugh and I'd recommend people going to it for the experience. The night started with pre-drinks downstairs in the hostel and then we went outside and painted ourselves in the typical UV paint!
We then made our way down to the Full Moon beach which was 10 seconds walk from our hostel. It's an impressive sight seeing 1000's of people on the beach in their bright outfits and UV paint. The beach is lined with stalls selling buckets of alcohol as well as lots of different bars. They even setup a water slide, stages to dance on and a climbing frame for all the party goers to have fun with!
The night was so good and it ended by watching the sunrise which was stunning. Koh Phangan has the reputation of a party island but it is so much more. The Full Moon beach on a normal day is beautiful and you can easily sunbathe down there and chill out. However, after this sunrise, there was no chilling out to be done! The music is still pumping until the afternoon and the aftermath of the night is clear as you look along the beach. Hundreds of people are passed out and it is so funny to see. I even watched as a group of people buried one of their friends with sand as he lay there completely out of his head. Great friends!
If you come to Thailand you have to do Full Moon to tick it off the list as it's good fun. I made it until around 8am but after that I was done and needed sleep! After 5 days of partying I slept really well! Here's a load of pics!
