Full Moon Party - Koh Pan-Ngang - Thailand






The Place: Haadrin beach on Koh Pan-Ngang for full moon party-till-u drop!! Having spent a relaxing day on the beach practicing a bit of poi, napping in the afternoon and getting some Thai red bull into the system - we prepped ourselves for a big night out!
Some features: The full moon party was awesome! The setting is a beach lit up by many beach club lights, fire shows, neon tattoos and glo stick clad party animals! Long tail boats bob about the shore having taxied the partiers from all about the island. The full moon lights the sky and the beach is littered with people. The drill thumping of a mix of rave music from the length of the beach sets the beach into its all night rhythm.
The People: Mostly beach goers painted head to toe in neon paint and tattoos, some in a dance trance, some passed out on the beach and some enjoying a bit of it all! All drinking buckets (a plastic beach bucket filled with a coke/sprite + red bull + whisky/vodka).
The experience: We paced ourselves well and having had a bucket or two walked the beach, watched some of the amazing poi and beach fire limbo dancing, danced beach style sokkie (heh heh) and soaked up the atmosphere till 4 in the morning.
Strange observation: A party where ANYTHING goes. Mother's close your childrens' eyes.
