About this event

The second December edition of Halfmoon Festival is listed for 16 and 17 December 2026 on Koh Phangan. It follows the festival's two-part format in Ban Tai: an afternoon on the beach at Harmony Beach Club, then a night that runs until sunrise at Halfmoon Magic Forest. The listed times are about 15:00 to 24:00 for the beach and 21:30 to sunrise for the forest.

This date also comes from a 2026 festival schedule rather than a ticket page, and no Megatix listing has been published yet. Halfmoon's pattern in season is roughly every two weeks, which fits the 2 December edition two weeks earlier. Entry is for guests aged 20 and over. Check the organiser's page for the final line-up.

Parties on Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is where Thailand's party reputation comes from. The Full Moon Party fills Haad Rin's Sunrise Beach once a month, with bars playing different music along the sand, fire shows and a start around 21:00. Dates sometimes move a day when the full moon falls on a Buddhist holy day, as with 27 October 2026. Smaller Half Moon and Jungle parties run in forest clearings inland from Ban Tai, and a weekly Friday jungle party runs there too. Haad Rin is reached from Thong Sala pier by shared taxi, tuk-tuk or minibus, and an entry ticket is sold at the beach alleys on the night.

Around Ban Tai

Ban Tai, or Baan Tai, is on Phangan's south coast, about a 10-minute drive south of Thong Sala according to one listing. It is the base for the island's forest parties: the Halfmoon Magic Forest is about ten minutes inland from the Ban Tai strip, and Jungle Experience and a weekly Friday jungle party also stage nights in the trees. On the beach, Ku Club is an open-air venue with resident performers. Wat Khao Tham, a hillside temple and meditation centre, overlooks the coast from above the village. Songthaew pick-ups serve the area.
