Curfew lifted for next Koh Phangan Full Moon Party
The military junta has agreed to exempt this month’s Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan island from the nationwide curfew, allowing revelers to party from dusk-til-dawn as they do each month. It is a relief for tourism actors on the island but the question is how many will come ? The numbers of revelers would probably drop…
This all-night parties, held every month on Had Rin Beach on the days before and after the full moon, regularly attract thousands of carousers. Most of themare foreigners.
The junta has established that the Full Moon Party “has no connection to politics, demonstrations, or violation of previous announcements by the National Council of Peace and Order in any way.” Therefore, the military has agreed to lift the curfew over Haad Rin Beach on Koh Pha Ngan island, from 9-13 June, as requested by the party’s organisers. It is understood that the rest of Koh Pha Ngan island will remain under the military’s midnight to 4am curfew.
The announcement makes Haad Rin Beach the fourth tourist destination in Thailand to enjoy curfew exemption, after the military lifted the curfew on Pattaya, Phuket, and Samui island two days ago.
