Booking Tickets in Advance

We recommend booking your tickets well in advance particularly around the period a few days before the monthly Full Moon Party which is held in Haad Rin on the South East Coast of Koh Phangan. The Full Moon Party attracts between 20,000 to 40,000 people depending on the time of year and as a consequence travel tickets to Koh Phangan can often be entirely booked out up to a week before the party happens.

If you plan to go to the party it also makes sense to book a hotel in Haad Rin a month or more in advance as it is often difficult to find even a bed in the dormitory during the Full Moon Party period.
