Full Moon party postponed to Wednesday

The famous Full Moon party at Haad Rin beach on Koh Pha Ngan for this month will be postponed from Tuesday to Wednesday to avoid alcoholic ban sale on Visakha Bucha Day.

For this month, the full moon day falls on the same day with the Visakha Bucha Day, which is an important religious day for Buddhists and the alcoholic sale is banned by Thai laws.

The organisers of the Full Moon party have decided to postponed the party where foreign tourists normally spend the night drinking and dancing on the beach, by one day.

So did they decide to postpone it from Wednesday the 14th of May
to the Wednesday the 14th of May?

The 14th May was advertised since this years party calendar was made.

Drinking and dancing on the beach. Is that it, what about taking loads of mva, drinking buckets of thai whisky and pissing in the sea.

Its the only party globally that a government won't ban, no matter what happens , even the overdoses, cause the mafia run it and the drugs, and too much money involved.

"Notorious" would have been a more apt description.

Has the person in charge of switching on the full Moon been informed?

Why don't you bring it we the Nation Editors. Only trying to do a public service here to people know it's not on the actual Full Moon night.

Can't please everyone can we now.

Bogans and chavs on vacation. Let's hope the Immigration police and narcotics suppression cops cart this riff raff off to prison in a convoy of cattle trucks.

Lucky they don't make you Prime Minister...

The FMP organization and the local administration move the party the next day when there is an important Buddha celebration (usually the day of the full moon)

...sometimes even on the 2nd after full moon, and after and on certain elections etc etc etc.

@FMP participant haters: you are completely right, there should be a decent dance floor and decent music, a black and white dress code incl. long white gloves for the ladies, soft drinks/max. 2 per participant, a card magician for entertainment, all that under supervision of moral elders with sticks (in case of improper touching the other gender), closing at 08:30h, of course.

Haad rin is full of despicable human trash who think it's 'cool' to leave garbage and used condoms all over a beach. The rest of Phangan is nice though.

Man, you make unrealistic demands:

Closing at 08:30??

I wonder if they will charge people twice the normal price on buckets, now that they have two parties on the same day
