Business in Koh Pha Ngan has been booming with the biggest New Year’s Eve Countdown party in three years followed by the first Full Moon Party of 2023. Tens of thousands of visitors flocked to the island to take part in the (nearly) all-night beach party last night.

The event was a success, though not quite as big and rowdy as a few in 2022, with 20,000 revellers gathering along Haad Rin Beach in the south of Pha Ngan for the party. There was a smattering of light rain a few times throughout the night, but combined with winds that picked up from last night through today, power outages plagued the southern tip of the island where the party takes place.
