The best area to stay on Samui is Mae Nam Beach or Bo Phut. Also see this story re FMP reservations etc: http://www.travelfish.org/feature/45

Hi Lev,

It seems I will be in Phuket for a few days before heading to Ko Pha Ngan for the party, but like you, I don't really have any set plans. Definitely let me know about your plans and I will do the same. It would be fun to meet with other travelers since I will be traveling solo for most of my trip.

Just a technicality, the full moon is on Dec 21st this year. As for New Years, yes it'll be heaving busy around Had Rin the few days leading up to it. Rather than stay over on Samui though I'd just head to another part of Ko Phangan like up the west coast to Si Thanu / Chaophao, Chalok Lam or Bottle Beach on the north, Tong Nai Pan, Than Sadet, etc. down the east coast. Plenty of baht bus or longtail boats running folks to Had Rin on the big night.

Hi,

I don't plan on making any reservations until I get there. You never know what's going to happen, and I don't want to be locked into a plan. My current tentative plan is to head to Samui and get a place there for a few days after taking a look around. I'll commute over to the party which should add to the fun...

Hey,

Will be going over to the NYE party as well!!
I'am planing to stay around surathani on the 27th night and will be catching up the next day morning boat to phangan.will be happy to meet up with you all for a beer or two )
Let me know your plans.Will be staying till 2nd Jan .

Then again coming all the way from Samui is a huge hassle!! try to sort out accomodation in Phangan So that you all could feel the party enviroment

Hey Isa34,

Sure.Let me kno when you arrive there.Let's make plans nearer to the date.how are we gonna get in touch?

Harsh welcome to the party!!
once I hear from Isa I'll hit u all with a mail regarding our meet up plan.I'm connected with few other solo travelers as well )

I'll be there as well so would love to be part of the email circle. I still think I'll stay on Samui unless one of you guys manages to get a large room to share. I don't think I'll make it down there before it fills up, but who knows... I'll probably make my way down to the islands around the 28th-ish. levbabich@gmail.com

Hello everyone,

I second to Arun, it's a pain in the ass to find an accomodation in KP. I reckon last year's NYE, we started hunting rooms 5 months in advance but to no avail. After all the booking fiasco, we ended up booking our rooms at Ban Tai beach which is few kms away from Haad Rin beach. Rooms sell like pancakes, its crazy. But most guesthouses/hostels there don't have website so if you will arrive there earlier you could prolly find a place to stay. See you in the island!

Technically, NYE2011 aint Full Moon. Last year was the real Full Moon Party/NYE. Roughly 50-60K party animal gathered and party like there's no more tomorrow. We were there and it was mental!

I will be meeting up with fellow solo-travelers in KP from Dec 29 - Jan 03. We are more or less 50 people and most of us will stay at Sandy Bungalow, Haad Rin. Thanks to one of our members who's helping us reserve the rooms. Maybe we can help you too.

If you are solo travelers too and looking for fun people to party with in KP, feel free to join us. Here's the meetup thread link.
