On Friday night, the island of Koh Pha Ngan in Thailand had what is believed to have been the first Full Moon Party of the year, as stated by the deputy governor of Surat Thani. A total of 20,000 individuals showed up to attend the event.
Rain fell for a short time during the party, but as soon as the clouds parted, the guests were able to enjoy themselves to the fullest by dancing on the beach as soon as the sun came out again.
According to statements made by Vice Governor Choosak Rooying to The Phuket Express, there are so many tourists visiting Koh Pha Ngan and the islands that surround it that there are not even sufficient flights to travel to these destinations. He claims that the tourists are heading to a variety of different islands, some of which include Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Pha Ngan.
According to Choosak, local businesses have been successful in producing larger money as compared to the preceding several years during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is according to Choosak. He said…
At least one hundred million Thai Baht was made during the first Full Moon Party of the year, which was attended by over 20,000 people and resulted in an income of that amount.
The Full Moon Party would traditionally take place either the night of the full moon itself, the night before the full moon, or the night after the full moon. It is reported that an impromptu beach bonfire took place at the Paradise Bungalows on Haad Rin Beach in 1983, and that this was the beginning of what would later become known as the Full Moon Party. Approximately a few dozen people showed up to attend the event. It continued to grow, with support from cameo appearances in films such as “The Beach.”
Because of the outbreak that was brought on by Covid-19, the celebration had to be rescheduled. On the other hand, commencing the year before last, a gradual increase in the number of tourists was seen. After the restrictions imposed by Covid were lifted on October 1st, the party was able to return to its normal operations and continue to operate at the same level as it had previous to the pandemic.
The beach, which is 800 meters long, is converted into what is possibly the most popular open-air nightclub in the world once a month with the use of more than 12 powerful sound systems. According to a travel website called umetravel.com, the renowned party consisted of… There is an electric environment similar to that of a festival, fantastic music, and tremendous quantities of alcoholic beverages. It is common practice to add this one-of-a-kind event on bucket lists as an illustration of an important experience that can only be enjoyed in Thailand and “absolutely must be seen to be believed.”
The Full Moon celebrations that are held on Koh Pha Ngan are beneficial to the local economy. A wide variety of local businesses benefited financially from the world-famous festival, including those that sell neon face paint, beer buckets, passenger boat operators, bus operators, restaurants, motels, hostels, pubs, and convenience stores. The festival was held in a location that is known worldwide.
