Drinking & Nightlife
Every month, on the night of the full moon, pilgrims pay tribute to the party gods with
trancelike dancing, wild screaming and glow-in-the-dark body paint. The throngs of
bucket-sippers and fire twirlers gather on the infamous Sunrise Beach (Hat Rin Nok) and
party until the sun replaces the moon in the sky.
A few other noteworthy spots can be found around the island for those seeking
something a bit mellower.
Hat Rin
Hat Rin is the beating heart of the legendary full moon fun. When the moon isn't lighting
up the night sky, partygoers flock to other spots on the island's south side. Most party ven-
ues flank Hat Rin's Sunrise Beach from south to north.
BAR, NIGHTCLUB
Rock
Great views of the party from the elevated terrace on the far south side of the beach. Also,
the best cocktails in town.
Drop-In Bar
This dance shack blasts the chart toppers that we all secretly love. This is one of the liveli-
est places and even non-full-moon nights can get boisterous.
