Dance to exhilarating progressive house tunes, tribal house, jungel house, trance, drum and bass, techno and mixes of these!

Both Thai and international DJ`s come to Koh Phangan to play the newest music. And they were honestly the best ones I`ve heard in my life. I`m a electronic-music nerd and I`ve been to many rave parties in my life, so I know the deal...

The atmosphere is unbelievably crazy, and the underground music will flow right into your veins!

... You`ll feel it and you`ll dance.

... It`s like a drug, but it isn`t.

... And even if you can`t dance, no body cares!! You can be whoever you want and dance exactly the way you want.

And it`s powerful to listen to excellent music with hundreds of other people in the mystical jungle, feeling the same way as you!

You`ll see sweaty Thais and backpackers from every corner of the world, shaking their ass in the tropical heat while they`re waving their light sticks.

If you take a look around you, you`ll only see happy people dancing to happy music!

Half of the dancing crowd are dancing with green luminescent paint in their faces, lighting up in the dark night. And the buckets are passed from dancer to dancer, and are waaaay stronger than ordinary buckets! (Apparently someone behind the bars like to add extra Sam Song...)

And the huge dancing area in the jungle is stashed up with large screens, UV decorations and a fire show!

It`s the place on earth you have to party, that`s all I can say!

Like if you have a list with "Things to do before you die" (like I have), it should be among the Top 10.. It`s that good AND it`s way better than the Full Moon Party in my opinion.

Here`s the schedule for Half Moon Parties.

If you know you`re allergic to green neon paint, don`t let anyone put it on you!

The morning after Half Moon, I woke up with swollen eyes, forehead and cheeks! It was clearly from the green paint.

It looked like I was bitten by big, hungry mosquitoes! I got some strong antihistamine tablets from the local clinic, but I couldn`t see for 3-4 days. I needed my friend`s help to eat, walk and smoke ( I stepped into mud pits all the time cause of this).

You`re done with Half Moon Party, where do you want to go next?

Back to Koh Pha Ngan?
