helpful and friendly which helps create a neighborhood vibe among guests.

Budget full moon revellers who want to
sleep inches from the tide, apply here. Some of the options back in the jungle are dark
and musty but the solid, beachfront models have bright, polished wooden interiors often
splashed with the occasional burst of neon paint from the ghosts of parties past.
Paradise Bungalows
( 0 7737 5244; Hat Rin Nok; bungalows 650-2500B; )
The world-famous Full Moon Party was
hatched at this scruffy batch of bungalows, and the place has been living on its fame ever
since. The backpackers keep on coming to wax nostalgic, although the grounds are start-
ing to look more like a junkyard now that the family has divvied up the land into several
small 'resorts'. Paradise lost.
