Welcome to Koh Phangan, the world-famous island of music, magic, and moonlight. While it’s globally known for the legendary Full Moon Party, the island offers so much more — including jungle raves, beach festivals, conscious gatherings, and underground DJ scenes.
This Ultimate Party Guide to Koh Phangan will help you discover the best events, what to expect, when to go, how to stay safe, and where to find the perfect party for your vibe.
🌕 1. Full Moon Party – The Iconic Experience
Location: Haad Rin Beach
When: Every full moon (monthly)
Entry: ~200 THB entrance fee at the beach
The Full Moon Party is the island’s most famous export — a beach party attracting thousands of revelers each month. Stretching across the entire length of Haad Rin Beach, this all-night event features multiple music stages with EDM, house, techno, drum & bass, reggae, and more.
Expect fire dancers, neon body paint, cheap cocktails in buckets, and dancing until sunrise.
Pro Tips:
- Book your accommodation at least 1–2 weeks in advance
- Don’t bring valuables — pickpocketing can happen
- Wear sandals you don’t mind losing
🌓 2. Half Moon Festival – Jungle Beats & Psytrance
Location: Ban Tai Jungle
When: 1 week before and 1 week after Full Moon
Entry: ~1,500 THB advance / 1,900 THB at the door
The Half Moon Festival is an immersive jungle party with psytrance, progressive, and techno across three custom-designed stages. Unlike the Full Moon Party, it’s a private, ticketed event with high-quality sound systems and LED visuals.
Located in the Ban Tai jungle, the vibe is more underground and spiritual, attracting electronic music lovers from all over the world.
👉 Check out upcoming dates and book tickets on our Half Moon Festival page.
Don’t Miss:
- The Psychedelic stage with UV art installations
- Fire performers and dancers
- Free face paint & body art zone
🌑 3. Black Moon Culture – Deep Psytrance Vibes
Location: Ban Tai
When: Every new moon
Entry: ~500–700 THB
Black Moon Culture is a smaller, more intimate version of Half Moon, focused almost entirely on psytrance and tribal electronic music. Held under the stars in a jungle clearing, it’s one of Koh Phangan’s most authentic and raw parties.
Perfect for those who love deep beats, barefoot dancing, and a less commercial crowd.

🌴 4. Jungle Experience – Techno in the Trees
Location: Jungle near Ban Tai
When: 1–2 days before Full Moon
Entry: ~1,000–1,200 THB
The Jungle Experience Party is one of the best tech-house events on the island. It’s famous for its open-air dancefloor, 3D decor, fire shows, and international DJs. You’ll dance under towering trees surrounded by art installations and UV lights.
Music: Tech-house, melodic techno, minimal
Vibe: Bohemian, immersive, energetic
🍫 5. Eden Garden & Guy’s Bar – The Underground Scene
Location: Haad Yuan (only accessible by boat or hike)
When: Fridays (Guy’s Bar) and Saturdays (Eden Garden)
Entry: Free / 200–300 THB donation sometimes
For seasoned Koh Phangan regulars, Eden Garden and Guy’s Bar are the island’s worst-kept secrets. Nestled in the remote jungle near Haad Yuan, these sunrise-to-sunset parties are a spiritual experience for many. Expect deep house, tribal, minimal, and a dancefloor filled with barefoot dancers under the stars.
