then met up again for the next full moon and it has
continued every full moon thereafter and has now
grown into the world's largest beach festival.

world!
There
are many different DJ's at the bars on the Full Moon
(Haad-rin Nok) beach playing everything from techno,

 Paradise Bungalows
This is where
it all started over two decades ago!
The main Paradise Big White Arena at
the far South end of the beach pumps
out the beats.
Whilst at the Paradise Shark Tent
(located in between the Paradise
Arena and the Drop-Inn) there are
various international guest DJs
playing mainly non Techno/Non
Trance! The original DJ who started
it plays a fantastic collection of
Rock, Punk, 60's Garage, Reggae &
called it 'Vive Le Rock! This tent
is definately worth a visit if you
have had enough of the pumping
repetative house and is great for
those who like to rock off their
socks! |
