Full moon party in Phangan
Island
Suratthani province |
Samui Island (Koh Samui)
| Tao Island (Koh Tao)
The Full Moon is far more than a party;
it is Had Rin's dance music festival, with everything from
drum and bass to full-on psy-trance. Paradise Bungalows, the
site of the original Full Moon Party, consistently puts on
the biggest show with inspired decor and a combination of
superb resident and guest international DJs.
Worth looking out for is DJ A, who also holds residency at
the Backyard, possibly the most famous after party venue in
the world, starting at 11am as Had Rin's beach shuts shop,
licks its wounds and counts the casualties. The Backyard
also puts on three cracking nights per week, each catering
for the full spectrum of dance music heads in a totally
refurbished, two floor club with mind bending fluoro
sculptures.
The Drop In plays a more commercial set with a few classics
thrown in, and still pulls in big crowds from when it
launched way back in 1989, as does the Cactus with a similar
policy. The Vinyl Club pumps out hard techno and psy-trance,
also putting on pre Full Moon Party parties in Ban Tai, with
an Israeli DJ massive keeping it banging.
The Big Boom Bar is a daytime favourite, especially with
their volley ball contest a few days before the Full Moon
Party. Their commitment to leaning away from trance, by
playing progressive to hard house with a fair few anthems
thrown in means that resident DJs Simon (UK) and locals Tony
and Dai have the beach going ballistic every Full Moon
Party.
Harmony, located inland, is a great find with an intelligent
music policy, resident Djs Jao and Orin plus guests play
house to progressive trance three nights a week. If you want
to rinse it out true DnB stylee, the Orchid headed by
resident DJ Kay puts a smile on many a trance-tired face.
For a real refuge, head out to the Outback Bar to enjoy
superb Thai and European tucker, pool and live sports in a
bar that looks as good as the paintings it sells!
