Drop In Club
Drop In is another long runner that has been playing a more commercial set to the huge crowd that gathers there. It has loads of different places to chill out and watch the action; playing chart, RnB, hip hop and dancefloor classics.


Same-Same
Warm up the evening with some live music at Same-Same Lodge; the band play covers from Rock to Pop on a pro sound system to keep the crowds coming back for more.


Sunrise Beach Club
Live DJs start playing 5 days before Full Moon, serving up Funky and Electro House, which alternates with a D&B, Jungle theme by the Orchid Club, Living Tribe DJ team.


Outback Bar
If you want to escape the pandemonium and hear some deep and funky house, head to the Outback near the main pier with its no trance music policy. Check out the stunning decor, a brilliantly stocked bar and an excellent menu make this a popular choice.


Warm Up Bar
Mixing an impressive selection of progressive house, the Warm Up Bar provides a good pre-dance venue in the heart of Haad Rin to down a few drinks and meet up with friends before proceeding to main event.


Backyard Club
The ultimate after party that starts up at 11am just as Haad Rin beach shuts down. Some say it is the best part of the FMP with only dedicated mooners mashing it up on the dance floor and the best of the previous nights DJs on the decks; including the infallible residents DJ A and DJ Boy.


Reggae House
Away from the main strip, tucked away just off Sunset Beach, you'll find Reggae House. Reggae House has something for everyone.....great music, cocktails, chillout hammocks, beanbag balcony and pool cave.
