The Full Moon Party Beach – Gate, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This is the place after or despite a crazy party time at Koh Phangan, where you can enjoy the real Beauty of the Island. Full Moon Party changes the perception of the island for 3 days only. So if you prefer a more peaceful moments I recommend you to make a trip to the Southern Part, where also the hidden and unknown beaches are located. This is a photo of Haad Rin Nok Beach view, just few days after party time.
