The full moon party is a party along the crescent shaped beach of Haad Rin to celebrate the full moon night once a month. The party begins at dusk when a whole yellow moon makes an appearance over the white sand beach. The beach explodes into a dancing frenzy with jugglers and fire eaters entertaining the crowd. The crowd is big with people coming from all over the world to experience the full moon party. For me this scene may be intimidating, so while on my dream vacation I have made a list of tips for the full moon party to ease my nerves.

- Take a passport copy with you, keep the original passport in the resort safe
- Do not bring valuables to the party, thousands of people will be there (pit pocket-ers are likely)
- It may be easy to lose bags so don’t bring something that will not be staying on you the whole time
- Bring enough money for drinks- keep it attached to yourself in a travelers under-shirt pouch
- Take the resorts details for contacting the resort in case of emergency
- Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken bottles
- Take good care of your camera, you won’t only lose the item but all your memories of the good time as well
- Keep away from drugs, no matter what anyone says. Drugs are illegal in Thailand and have very strong penalties
- Do not eat or drink anything that is offered to you by strangers
- If you don’t plan on staying up all night at the party, you are advised to stay in bungalow facilities outside Haad Rin (unless you think you can sleep with very loud party noise)
- Dance and have fun!
