Full Moon Party dates

Make sure to check the Full Moon Party schedule in advance, as the actual full moon often coincides with Buddhist holidays when alcohol sales and parties are prohibited. In these cases, the party is usually moved to the day before or after the full moon. Planning ahead ensures you won’t miss out on the event!
