IT’S schoolies on steroids. A teenager’s paradise.
No parents, no rules, no authorities, no police. No limits.
Welcome to Thailand’s infamous Full Moon parties, where the signature drink is a bucket of hard alcohol with red bull – drugs of all kinds are bought over the counter at bars.
Every month, thousands of backpackers descend on the island of Koh Phangan where the event has been for each full moon since 1985.
It’s a cash-cow for the Thai government, drawing about 30,000 revellers during peak seasons and around 10,000 to 20,000 others on any given month. And now more than ever, Australians are joining the party.
Lured by the guarantee of low-cost flights, a wild time and cheap alcohol, they cram themselves onto the island’s exotic Haad Rin beach to dance the night away.
