Get your face paint and glow sticks at the ready for what is probably THE best beach party in the world. Each month, thousands of backpackers hit the sands from dusk until dawn at the Full Moon Party in Haad Rin. As If that wasn’t enough, there are also the Half Moon and Black Moon festivals now too! This is party paradise. Yet for those backpackers willing to stick around a while, you may discover there’s more to Koh Phangan than meets the eye. As the majority of revelers move on as the Full Moon Party ends, take the chance to explore the rest of this tropical paradise. You will be rewarded with gorgeous deserted beaches, cascading waterfalls and some amazing snorkeling. As well as beautiful countryside, Koh Phangan is also a haven for yoga and meditation – perfect for those backpackers wanting to get in touch with their spiritual side when in South East Asia.
