Full Moon Party Survival Guide 🌕

To ensure your night is incredibly fun and safe, here is the ultimate check-list you need to know.

👟 Wear Sneakers

Never wear sandals! The beach might have broken glass or people might step on your toes. Closed-toe shoes protect your feet best.

💰 Bring Reasonable Cash

Bring enough cash for drinks and a taxi. Do not bring valuables or large bags as the risk of losing them is very high.

🪣 Beware of Buckets

The signature drink is the Bucket. The alcohol is often stronger than it tastes. Sip slowly and never accept drinks from strangers.

📍 Set a Meeting Point

Cell signals might drop when the crowd peaks. Set a clear meeting point with friends (e.g., in front of a specific glowing sign) in case you get separated.
