Full Moon Party and Songkran Festival are two of Thailand's most popular occasions, offering an unforgettable mix of cultural immersion, wild parties, and ultimate memories.
The full moon party in Thailand began in the 1980s, when a few people gathered to thank 30 travellers who visited Koh Phangan island gradually more people started to join the party and therefore it grew into a big, famous party called the Full Moon Party in Thailand. It is held every month on Koh Phangan island as an iconic global phenomenon where people from across the world gather to enjoy the beach party where the night comes alive with neon glow sticks, flashing lights, and bass-high music that keeps you moving until sunrise.
Songkran Festival is Thailand’s New Year which is celebrated between the 13th and 15th of April when a large number of people gather to celebrate and anticipate Water fights. The official opening ceremony of Sangkran takes place at Wat Pho, one of the most famous temples where the golden reclining Buddha is housed.
