A couple of decades ago, some tourists held a party at the beautiful beach of Haadrin on a night of full-moon. The tradition continued since then.
The journey to Island Phangan is a long one. We arrived in Chumphon at around 7 in the morning, hopped on an over-booked bus to the port, and from there, a 3-hour ferry to Koh Phangan - the home of the Full-Moon party. A minimum of 3-night stay is usually required from the hostels, especially the ones dotted along Haadrin beach - where the party takes place - and you might have to over-pay due to supply and demand.
The nightly waterfall/jungle/beach parties kept most of us up till sunrise. And during the hot and humid mornings, we retreat to our hostels while the beach undergoes a clean-up. Afternoons are ideal for beach activities or road trips around the island. Once the sun sets, you do it all over again...
Make some friends, and go grab a beer.
Oh the wild wild south, stories of which I will not share here.
