The main music style at the Full Moon Party is electronic music such as house, trance, techno and psy-trance. But some of the resorts specialize in different music styles. We have compiled the line-up of dance arenas along the beach.
As the evening progresses the beach explodes into a dancing frenzy as different m.c.’s take their turn on the decks. There is something for everyone here, trance, techno, drum and bass, commercial dance, and reggae, no one is disappointed. Jugglers and fire-eaters entertain the crowds as the night goes on and with the brilliant impromptu fireworks display, the party atmosphere is complete. After a few hours it could be time to chill out for a while, maybe grab a drink or a bite to eat from one of the many beach traders and wade out or sit down in the warm surf of the Gulf of Thailand, pure, pure heaven.
Revived and relaxed it’s time to return to the main beach and get blown into another dancing dimension, While all around people are doing the same, there are no barriers here, no inhibitions, just people enjoying themselves with one unified intention, to rejoice in the magic that is the paradise of FULL MOON PARTY!
The Rock
One of the best places on the beach to chill out and get a view of the whole party. It is situated at the southern end of Haad Rin on (you guessed it) a big rock. Expect soulful funky tunes mixed by DJ Kim and the best cocktails on the beach.
Paradise Bungalows
Still the biggest and best venue consistently putting on the largest show. If a big name is visiting the island, you will normally find them here playing alongside the amazing resident DJ A who has more or less coined the tough progressive sound of Haad Rin.
Drop-in Bar
Another long runner playing a more commercial set to the huge crowd that gathers there. It has loads of different places to chill out and watch the action including live fire shows and wild drinking games; playing chart, RnB, hip hop, and dance floor classics.
Zoom Bar
One of the best places on the beach to chill out and get a view of the whole party. It is situated at the southern end of Haad Rin on (you guessed it) a big rock. Expect soulful funky tunes mixed by DJ Kim and the best cocktails on the beach.
Cactus Bar
One of the first places you come to as you enter Haad Rin Beach, is right in the middle so it gets a load of punters, especially as the sun comes up. Expect a more commercial sound with RnB, Hip Hop, Old Skool Classics, and even the odd bit of rock.
Tommy´s Resort
The ultimate Full Moon experience. big sound system, firewall, whacky fluorescents, club lighting. Local DJs play all your party faces between 9 pm and 3 am, and then top international DJs bust out the latest Big Room.
Mellow Mountain
If you want to get away from the mayhem, but still want to keep an eye on the action – it is located at the quieter northern end of the beach. There are heaps of cushions and hammocks to chill out on, great milkshakes, and soothing tunes to calm you down after a hard session dancing on the beach.
