How to find the best hostels for the Full Moon Party<\/h2>\n

When you think of the biggest parties in the world – Rio Carnival, Glastonbury, Mardi Gras – most of them take place every year. But Thailand\u2019s Full Moon Party attracts crowds of more than 20,000 people every single month! Not only is it one of the best parties in the world, it\u2019s one of the most unmissable on the backpacker trail. It\u2019s not just the night itself that draws revellers – for two or three days before, and two or three after, the whole island is like one big festival with all of the full moon party hostels alive with fun-loving travellers looking to make some memories.<\/p>\n

The Full Moon Party takes place on Koh Phangan\u2019s infamous Haad Rin beach, which is lined with bars, clubs, drink stands and sandy dancefloors. While many of the best hostels for the full moon party are in Haad Rin itself, there are plenty of excellent options in nearby Baan Tai \u2013 perhaps the most popular spot, given its much cleaner (and quieter) beach. Our selection of the best full moon party hostels will need to be booked in advance, as places are in high demand. Always check whether they have a minimum stay \u2013 some of the hostels ask guests to book in for at least five nights. But It is possible to ship in for the night from Koh Samui specifically for the party. The last ferry leaves Samui at 18:30 and the first one to return in the morning is at 7am \u2013 perfect if you\u2019re happy to pull an all-nighter.<\/p>\n

    Best cheap hostels for the Full Moon Party<\/h2>\n

    With hostels<\/a> available from \u00a33, a ticket to the party a couple of quid and one of Thailand\u2019s infamous buckets only costing a fiver, it\u2019s easy to keep costs down at the Full Moon Party \u2013 particularly if you book your hostel well in advance. To secure the best prices, aim to book ahead, because the closer you sneak to the day, the higher those prices get. Also, prepare to have your inner penny pincher dazzled by happy hour offers, free shots, and alcohol-based prizes for winning games.<\/p>\n

    \"best<\/p>\n

    This Koh Phangan institution has been welcoming guests for 11 years, enticing them with cheap rooms, great vibes and a serene beachside location. The hostel is located 15 minutes from Haad Rin Beach, and 10 minutes from the locations of the Half Moon Party and Waterfall Party<\/a>, which is held two days before and two days after every Full Moon. While the cheap drinks certainly flow, there\u2019s less peer pressure to get out of your mind here than at some of Koh Phangan\u2019s hostels<\/a> during peak times. It\u2019s the perfect place to relax and recuperate by day, ready for another night of dancing until dawn. Their murals \u2013 over 700m of them \u2013 are a colourful sight to behold.<\/p>\n
