Koh Phangan bachelor party

Your Full Moon weekend

Friday you land on Samui, and the car takes you to your own pool villa. The DJ is on by the afternoon.

Saturday is the Full Moon. A pre-party at the villa, then our boat across to Haad Rin as the beach fills up.

Haad Rin fills from about 10pm and peaks after midnight. When you're done, the boat is waiting.

Sunday you recover on a catamaran, or you don't leave the pool.

Plan it with Tanner, and he times the weekend to the moon.

Build your three days

Pick one option for each day below, and the price for your group adds up as you go.

Day 1 is a pool party at your villa or our catamaran on the Gulf. Day 2 is the party boat to Haad Rin, or a villa pre-party and our own boat. Day 3 is a full day on the catamaran, or the pool.

Want a second party? The Halfmoon Festival runs its night parties in the Magic Forest in Ban Tai, from 9:30pm until late, with a night on 17 November and two-day editions on 2–3 and 16–17 December 2026. Passes are sold online and at the gate, and online is often a little cheaper. Ask Tanner to add a Halfmoon night.

What it costs for 12

Here's the weekend for 12, day by day, for the whole group with VAT inside.

Tanner sends one price for the group for the priced options, with the boats quoted to your plan.

Your Samui pool villa adds from ฿18,500 a day. The half-day catamaran and the boats to Haad Rin are quoted to your plan, with the cars on top.

Ask Tanner for one price for the lot, villa and boats included.

Samui or Phangan?

Our way: your own pool villa on Samui, and a private boat across on party day. The group leaves together and comes back together. For a bachelor party, Koh Phangan is the night and Samui is the base.

Staying on Phangan means you can walk to the party, but rooms fill and prices climb in Full Moon week.

The last regular boats from Samui's Bangrak pier to Thong Sala leave around 5pm, so without your own boat, staying on Phangan is simpler.

Compare Koh Samui villas and Koh Phangan villas. Ask Tanner whether Samui or Phangan suits your group.

Getting to Haad Rin

Most boats from Samui land at Thong Sala, 20 to 30 minutes from Haad Rin by songthaew, and the crossing takes 20 to 50 minutes. Book your boat back before you go.

The Haad Rin Queen runs from Big Buddha pier at Bangrak, but its times change, so check on the day.

Our private boat leaves when the group is ready, and waits for you. Ask Tanner to hold it for your date.

See Koh Samui to Koh Phangan for every crossing.

Haad Rin, and the rest of the month

The Full Moon fills Haad Rin Nok, the Sunrise Beach, and runs until late.

Between full moons, the Half Moon Party in Ban Tai and the jungle parties keep the island going.

See our Full Moon Party guide and Koh Phangan nightlife. Ask Tanner which party lands on your dates.

How it works with Tanner

Four steps, all timed to the moon.

Flying into Samui? See our Koh Samui airport transfer, and ask Tanner to meet your flight.

The Full Moon, hour by hour

Around 8pm the DJ is on at the villa and the first round is poured. Dinner is on the terrace, and nobody's in a hurry.

About 9:30pm the group walks down to our boat, and you step off at Haad Rin as the beach fills from about 10pm.

By 1am the party is at its peak, with fire shows and sound systems all the way along the sand.

Insider tip: pick one bar on the beach as the meeting point before you split up. Phones die, and that bar is where the boat crew finds you.

When the group is done, the boat is waiting, and the villa pool is the after-party. Ask Tanner to set the after-party up.

No packages, just your weekend

There are no fixed Koh Phangan bachelor party packages here. You pick each day, and the price adds up as you go.

Tanner's pick: twelve of you, stay on Samui, take our boat across and come back together. It beats a crowded Haad Rin room every time.

Want more than one party? Time it for a Full Moon, then ask Tanner to add a Halfmoon night a week or so either side.

The weekend in short

• What it is: a three-day bachelor party built around the Full Moon on Koh Phangan.

• The base: your own pool villa on Koh Samui, with a catamaran day on the Gulf.
• The party: Haad Rin Nok (Sunrise Beach), busiest from 1am to 3am, running until late.
• Getting there: our private boat from Samui, 20 to 50 minutes, waiting until you're done.
• Dates left in 2026: 24 November, 24 December and the 31 December countdown.
• Book: Christmas and New Year weeks fill first, so hold the villa early.

Checked October 2026.

Keeping the group together

A few simple rules, and the Full Moon is the best party of your life.

Wear closed shoes: broken glass is the most common injury. Don't swim after dark, and watch the buckets being poured.

Leave the valuables at the villa, stay away from drugs, and leave the scooters for another day. The Tourist Police are on 1155.

There's no ticket to buy ahead: the organiser's dates page lists no entry fee, so skip any site selling Full Moon tickets online.

Our host and our boat keep the group in one place. Ask Tanner to put a host with the group.

What we look after

The catamaran, the DJ, the bar, the photographer and the host, as you pick them, all set for your moon date.

Full Moon entry, the villa, the cars, the private boat and flights are priced on their own.

Want a chef or a bartender at the villa? See party staff. Ask Tanner what to add.

When to come

The Full Moon dates left in 2026 are Tuesday 24 November, Thursday 24 December, and the New Year countdown on Thursday 31 December.

Christmas and New Year weeks fill first, so hold the villa early.

February to April is driest on Samui and November the wettest, the Thai Meteorological Department's normals show, so a late-year moon can bring choppier seas for the catamaran.

For 2027 dates, see the Thailand party calendar. Ask Tanner to hold the villa for your moon.

Phangan, Samui or Phuket?

Phangan is the Full Moon and the jungle parties.

Koh Samui is the villa base and the beach clubs. You can do both in one weekend.

Phuket is the big clubs and a yacht in Phang Nga Bay.

For a boat on the Gulf, see Koh Samui yachts. Ask Tanner to price Phuket next to it.

Between the parties

The Phantip night market by Thong Sala pier is busiest from about 5pm to 10pm, so it's the place for a long group dinner before the party.

The day after, take our catamaran out on the Gulf, or stay in the pool.

Insider tip: Ang Thong Marine Park, 42 islands north-west of Samui, is closed from 1 November to 15 December 2026 under the national parks department's seasonal notice. For a November or early December moon, the catamaran stays on the Gulf; from mid-December it can take you out to the islands.

Ask Tanner to book dinner for the group.

One more stop?

Plenty of groups stay a few more days on Samui. See Koh Samui villas.

Or head on to Koh Tao for the diving.

See our Koh Phangan guide and bachelor parties in Thailand.

Plan it with Tanner, and he books the whole weekend.
