Hi All,

I'm a solo traveller looking to gather a group together of solo and coupled travellers for the Full Moon party in May.

Anyone interested?

Hey!

Ill be there. Im staying on Ko Phangan in a hostel near the main beach, about 15 min away. Ive already booked my place bc they are filling up now for next month. I recommend you do the same.

I used Hostelworld.com to find good places and ended up booking at Becks Resort.

Im sure all the hostels will be booked and it will be easy to meet tons of people. There is a min night stay/ 10%deposit at some hostels over the FMP which is normal.

I would take into account what you are looking for when you book the hostel, being right on the main beach sounds fun but also a little intense, for me at least, when I would want to sleep/relax the next day. Just think about what you are looking for bc you will be there for more than just the party night. I am looking to island hop, snorkel, and enjoy the beautiful beaches during the day as well.

ekbenson- how was your experience booking at hostelworld.com? Im looking at accomodations now also. I was thinking of booking The Hostel at Koh Phangan.

Hey guys

Having been to the FMP two years ago I would definitely recommend you not stay on the main beach. The day after the party the beach is disgusting, trash everywhere and 10,000 people using the beach as a toilet is probably something you don't want to dive into to get rid of your hangover.

On the opposite side of town there are some more low key hostels and still walking distance from the main beach. I stayed at Coral Bay Bungalows and loved it. The beach there is a little rocky but they have a pool, a really awesome restaurant, and friendly staff. Plus its a great place to meet other travelers to go out and party with.

Have fun and don't bring ANYTHING valuable with you to the FMP.
