Koh Phangan Accommodation

On Haad Rin Beach at Koh Phangan, it is very difficult to find a bungalow some days before and after Full Moon Party. There are approximately 3,000 - 4,000 beds at Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan which is of course not enough in that Full Moon Party night, so make sure that you arrive a day or two before the party. If you can't get a room at Haad Rin, then take a taxi to the other parts of the island where you can find all kinds of accommodation. *Most of resorts require minimum stay 3-5 nights during the Full Moon Party Period.

Full Moon Party Tips

Do not bring your valuables to the party. Thousands people are there, you'll never catch the thief.
Keep away from drugs, no matter what anyone says. Someone might try to sell them to you but remember drugs are illegal in Thailand and very strong penalties.
Do not eat or drink anything that is offered by strangers.
If you don't plan to stay up all night at the party, you are advised to stay in bungalow facilities outside Haad Rin (unless you think you can sleep with that very loud party noise). Besides, there are more than hundred bungalow places to choose and you can go back to your bungalow anytime you like by all night taxi service.
