Full Moon Party Koh Phangan 2025 Schedule

One of the most frequently asked questions by travelers planning a trip to Thailand is: “When is the next Full Moon Party?” or “What are the Full Moon Party dates?”

Although the name suggests it happens on the night of the full moon, in reality, the event date does not always align perfectly with the actual full moon night.

Sometimes, the party is “postponed” or shifted by a day due to important Buddhist holidays (when alcohol sales are prohibited in Thailand). This causes many travelers who book flights based solely on the lunar calendar to miss the event entirely.

On this page, we have compiled the Latest Full Moon Party Schedule to help you plan your flights, ferry tickets, and accommodation accurately, ensuring you don’t miss out on this world-class experience.

When is the Next Full Moon Party?

The Full Moon Party takes place every month at Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan. It is usually scheduled for the night of the full moon (the 15th day of the waxing moon). However, if you are planning to visit next month or next year, it is crucial to lock in the exact date before booking.

💡 Local Tip: Once you know the confirmed party date, the first thing you must do is “Book your Boat Ticket and Accommodation.” During Full Moon Week, transport to the island is incredibly busy, and rooms sell out fast.

Important: Why Dates Sometimes Change (Buddhist Holidays)

Why is the party postponed in some months?

Many tourists mistakenly believe they can arrive on Koh Phangan any day there is a full moon. The truth is, if the full moon falls on a Major Buddhist Holiday (such as Visakha Bucha, Makha Bucha, or Asahna Bucha), Thai law strictly prohibits the sale of alcohol nationwide.

In these cases, the organizers will postpone the party by one day (to the night following the holy day). Therefore, checking the confirmed Full Moon Party dates with a reliable travel agent before booking flights is essential to avoid arriving on a “dry night.”

Best Time to Visit Koh Phangan

The atmosphere of the Full Moon Party varies depending on the season:

1. High Season (December – March)

Atmosphere: Best weather, calm seas, sunny skies, and little rain.
Crowd: The busiest and most energetic time (Peak Season). Packed with tourists from Europe and the Americas.
Warning: Accommodation fills up extremely fast! You should book at least 2-3 months in advance. Ferry ticket prices may also rise if booked last minute.

2. Shoulder Season (April – June)

Atmosphere: It gets hotter, but the sea is crystal clear. Great for swimming during the day.
Crowd: Slightly fewer tourists, meaning less squeezing through crowds. Accommodation prices are often cheaper. Great for budget travelers.

3. Low Season (September – November)

Atmosphere: Entering the monsoon season for the Gulf of Thailand. Expect some rain and choppier waves on some days.
Crowd: Even in Low Season, the Full Moon Party fun never stops. The party goes on as usual, but the crowd is often friendlier and more laid back.

How to Book Tickets & Accommodation Securely? (3 Angels Travel)

Once you have selected your dates, the next challenge is “Logistics.”

Ferry/Speedboat Tickets: Often fully booked or require hours of queuing at the pier.
Accommodation: Hotels in Haad Rin are often full or require a minimum stay of 3-5 nights.
Return Travel: If you haven’t booked your return boat/van, you risk missing your flight home.
