On Koh Phangan, in February the rainfall decreases significantly.

April 2025

April 12, 2025 (Saturday)

April is a good month for attending the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan. Rain is a little more frequent compared to previous months, but it still shows up only a few days. The number of tourists on the islands at this time is not large, even if it can be busier, if the Full Moon Party is during the Songkran Festival.

May 2025

May 12, 2025 (Monday)

The frequency of rainfall in Koh Phangan normally doubles compared to April, so there’s a higher chance that you will experience some showers during the party. Even if it were to happen, don't expect any long-lasting rain on the day. It’s a good month to travel on a budget because at the start of the rainy season, you can significantly save on flight tickets and accommodation.

Who set the Full Moon Party dates?

The Full Moon Party Thailand 2025 dates listed are the days of the parties announced by the Haad Rin Business Association, which determines the dates of the party. Pay attention that on some months these dates are not the actual days of the full moon phase, as a number of Buddhist holidays in Thailand are celebrated on the days of the full moon, and therefore the festival can't be held on that day.

The schedule of the parties may change; you should reconfirm the date before booking the trip to Koh Phangan.

Half Moon Party Koh Phangan

Half Moon Festival is the second largest party that takes place in the middle of the forest on the island. This music festival takes place in Koh Phangan every two weeks. The atmosphere here is much lighter as the party takes place on several stages playing electronic music. A day before the main event, a day beach party is organized at Harmony Beach Club. On some months, only the beach party of the Half Moon Festival is organized.

The schedule of the Koh Phangan Half Moon Party can be found here: Half Moon Festival Schedule 2025.

In the rest of the month, there are other parties, like the Jungle Party and Black Moon Party, versions much less pumped than the previous ones.

Full Moon Party Koh Phangan Accommodation

The island of Koh Phangan is filled with people during these dates, especially the areas closest to Haad Rin, where the party is celebrated. Many hotels and guesthouses require a minimum stay of 3 or 4 days during the days of the Full Moon Party Thailand 2025.
