Full Moon Party 2026: Ticket Price, Entrance Fee, Budget Guide

Budget planning is the first step for any smart party-goer. Common questions we hear are: “How much are Full Moon Party tickets?”, “Do I need to book in advance?”, and “How much cash should I bring for one night?”

The cost of the Full Moon Party isn’t just the entrance fee; you need to account for speedboat transfers, accommodation, and island living costs, which can spike during the festival. This article breaks down every expense to help you plan your finances perfectly, avoid overspending, and enjoy the party without worry.

Entrance Fee (Updated Prices)

For the latest Full Moon Party Koh Phangan at Haad Rin Beach, the entrance fees are as follows:

Foreigners: Approximately 200 THB (per person).

Note: This fee contributes to beach maintenance and the massive clean-up operation after the party.

Thai Nationals: Usually Free Entry.

Tip: Please bring your actual Thai ID card or Driver’s License to show at the checkpoint.

What you get:

Upon payment, you will receive a Wristband with a unique design for that month. Besides being your pass to the beach, it has become a popular “Souvenir” that party collectors proudly wear to say, “I conquered the Full Moon Party!”

Where to Buy Tickets (Safe & Easy Ways)

You can purchase entrance tickets through two main channels:

1. Walk-in at the Entrance (Haad Rin)

The classic and simplest way is to buy your ticket at the checkpoints around Haad Rin on the night of the party. There are several booths set up around the beach entrances.

Pros: No fear of tickets “selling out” because the event is on an open public beach.

Cons: You may have to stand in long queues and squeeze through crowds during peak hours (9 PM – Midnight).

2. Buy with a Boat or Tour Package (Recommended)

If you are staying in Koh Samui or Koh Tao and plan to take a Speedboat for a round trip (or one way), the smartest and most convenient option is to “Buy a Speedboat Package + Entrance Ticket.”

Buying a bundle helps you:

Skip the Ticket Queue: When you arrive at the Koh Phangan pier, you often get your wristband immediately or are guided through a fast lane.

Guaranteed Boat Seat: No worrying about boats being full on the way there or the way back.

How Much Cash for 1 Night? (Budget Breakdown)

Besides the 200 THB ticket, here is a Budget Breakdown of expenses you should prepare (We recommend carrying cash, as most stalls on the beach do not accept credit cards or transfers):

1. Drinks (Buckets) 🍹

The symbol of the party is the famous “Thai Bucket.”

Price: Starts from 150 – 500 THB per bucket.

Price Factors: Depends on the alcohol brand (Thai whiskey vs. Imported spirits) and location (Beachfront bars are slightly pricier than stalls in the side streets).

2. Food 🍕

An army marches on its stomach! The streets leading to the beach are lined with food stalls.

Popular Menu: Grilled chicken, Pizza by the slice, Grilled corn, Pad Thai.

Budget: Approx. 50 – 200 THB per meal.

3. Toilets 🚻

A small but crucial detail! Most toilets around the party area are privately owned by shops.

Fee: 10 – 20 THB per use.

Tip: Keep plenty of 10-baht coins or 20-baht notes in your pocket.

4. Body Paint 🎨

You can’t do Full Moon without glowing in the dark!

Price: Starts from 50 – 200 THB, depending on the size and complexity of the design.

Budget Tip: Buy the neon paint tubes and paint each other—it’s cheaper and more fun!

SCAM ALERT: Beware of Fake Tickets

Beware of websites or individuals selling Full Moon Party tickets online for inflated prices (e.g., 500-1,000 THB) by claiming they are “VIP Tickets” or “Special Access Passes.”

The Truth: The Full Moon Party is an open-air event on the beach. There is NO private VIP zone on the sand. Everyone parties together on the same ground.
