Your Guide to the Full Moon Party

The Full Moon Party is one of the most famous beach parties in the world, and Eclipse Hostel & Bar is your front-row seat. Located just 100 meters from Haad Rin Beach, you can literally walk from your room to the party in under a minute. And if you’re looking for where to stay in Koh Phangan, Eclipse puts you right in the heart of the action.

What to Expect

The party kicks off around sunset and runs until the early hours of the morning. Thousands of travelers from around the world gather on the beach for an unforgettable night of music, fire shows, and dancing under the moonlight. The Full Moon Party is the main event, but there’s also a thriving nightlife scene beyond Full Moon with Half Moon, Jungle, and other parties throughout the month.

Tips for First-Timers

• Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty — the beach gets messy
• Bring cash — most vendors and bars on the beach are cash-only, and entry is 200 THB at the gate (cash only). Check our Koh Phangan budget guide for money tips.
• Stay hydrated — it’s a long night in the tropical heat
• Use the buddy system — stick with friends, especially later in the night
• Leave valuables at the hostel — we have secure storage for your belongings

Getting Back

The best part about staying at Eclipse? You don’t need a taxi. Just walk back to the hostel and crash. We’ll have water and snacks waiting at the bar for the survivors.
