Not sure what I'm talking about? I just went to my second this year (2011). I have to say that the Full Moon Party can only be described as completely unrestrained hedonism, chaos, and debauchery -- all under a full moon on a beach in Thailand. Perhaps one of the world's largest/greatest parties.
You'll love it and hate it at the same time.
Regardless, it's an experience.
Here's an article I wrote about the FMP:
