Overview

Thailand Full Moon Party 2026

The Thailand Full Moon Party is a legendary beach festival held on Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan, attracting travelers from all over the world. Famous for its vibrant energy, neon lights, fire shows, and international DJs, the Full Moon Party has become an iconic symbol of Thailand’s nightlife. The 2026 Thailand Full Moon Party promises even bigger celebrations, with thousands of partygoers dancing under the moonlit sky, making it a must-experience event for adventure and nightlife seekers.

When Is Thailand’s Famous Full Moon Party in 2026?

The Thailand Full Moon Party 2026 is celebrated on multiple dates throughout the year, starting on 3 January (Saturday), followed by 2 February (Monday) and 3 March (Tuesday), which coincides with Makha Bucha Day. The party continues on 2 April (Thursday) and 1 May (Friday). Another major celebration takes place on 31 May (Sunday), aligning with Visakha Bucha Day, followed by 29 June (Monday) and 29 July (Wednesday), which falls on Asalha Bucha Day. Further dates include 28 August (Friday), 26 September (Saturday), 26 October (Monday), marking the end of Buddhist Lent, 24 November (Tuesday), and 24 December (Thursday). The year concludes with the biggest celebration on 31 December (Thursday), featuring the New Year 2027 Countdown Party on Koh Phangan.

Where is the Full Moon Party in Thailand?

The Thailand Full Moon Party 2026 takes place at Haad Rin Beach in Koh Phangan, located on the southern tip of the island. Haad Rin is known for its soft white sand and clear blue water, making it a great place to swim and relax during the day. You’ll find beachside cafés and a laid-back island vibe. When the full moon rises, especially at Haad Rin Nok (Sunrise Beach), the area turns into a huge beach party with music, dancing, lights, and high energy. It can get very crowded, and the beach may feel messy after the celebrations.

Full Moon Party Koh Samui vs Koh Phangan, which is better?

If you want the real, high-energy Full Moon Party experience, Koh Phangan (Haad Rin Beach) is the best choice. The party happens here, with events before and after the main night. It’s fun but very crowded and noisy. If you prefer comfort and balance, Koh Samui is a great option. Samui has better resorts, quieter beaches, and good restaurants. You can stay there and take a speedboat to Koh Phangan just for the party night. In short, choose Phangan for full party immersion and Samui for a relaxed stay with party access.

Best time to visit Thailand for the Full Moon Party

The best time to attend the Full Moon Party in Thailand is during the peak season from July–August and December to April, when weather conditions are pleasant with minimal rainfall. The cool and dry months of December to February offer the most energetic and crowded party atmosphere. March to May brings hot weather with lively vibes and slightly fewer crowds. The rainy season from June to September suits budget travelers seeking a calmer experience, while October and November offer great deals, fewer tourists, and comfortable temperatures.
