Here’s a treat: I just found this video from one of the Luna Phangan Island parties last year. Zin is an amazing fire dancer graces us with his presence on occasion. Just watch this boy’s style…..
A great evening out and a chance to help Haiti

Rasananda will be running a fantastic charity event on the 4th of Feb, with Bernd the manager cooking up a storm of his favourite dishes. Music and entertainment from Baan Pan Buri, and food and wine from Colibri food supply and wine connection respectively. If you want a ticket for what will be a great night out, email reservations@rasananda.com
We’ll probably be putting together a Luna table, so drop us a line if you want to join us.

The Building of Luna
January 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Finally after nearly three years, I’ve put together a slideshow of the building of Luna. When I look at these pictures now, I can’t believe the scale of the project we undertook, just incredible. It seemed like we just jumped in and the next thing we were on this roller coaster ride. Now I feel quite proud of what we’ve achieved and can’t believe that this building started out as the bags of cement and wooden planks you see here!
Sala Cafe Opening Feb 14th!!!
January 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
We are happy to finally anounce the opening of the Luna Cafe! We have a great location in the centre of Thong Nai Pan Noi opposite the Jungle Bar which over the next few weeks we will be transforming into another great place to eat scrumptious foods and sit about chatting over coffees. We will be doing a delicious brunch menu featuring homemade breads, (I’m sure some of you will remember the sandwiches we were selling at Luna for a short while last year,) salads and a fantastic selection of deserts and mixed fruit shakes with as always our own Luna twist. After having many a complaint that we are not open during the day, we are now creating the perfect day time chill out spot with all the great flavours of Luna and a new menu to boot! We will be opening on Febuary the 14th so make your lover’s Valentine’s Day by treating them with a new Luna desert or even just a great cup of coffee (no nescafe in sight).
Other things on in Koh Phangan at the moment are the Flair cocktail shows over on Thong Nai Pan Yai. Central Cottage Resort has had the winners of ’06 and ’07 Flair Bartending championship perform twice now on the beach outside their restaurant and hope to make it a regular event with the Champion of Asia coming to perform too. So far both men have been fantastic to watch as they spun alight bottles through the air, juggling and drawing in the sand with fire. Along with fantastic local fire spinner Zin (who is also a regular to perform at Luna parties and also Rasananda) and cheap deals on cocktails, it makes for a great evening out.
Delighted to Announce….

Christmas and New Years at Luna…
January 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Hey all,
Well here in Thong Nai Pan we have been enjoying the festive season. The beach has been packed with plenty going on to keep people busy. With tremendous fireworks across the beaches and live fire shows we decided not to put on any events on christmas day and new years assuming people would want to be on the beach. However on the 28th we had a great turn out for DJ’s Birthday, enjoying an amazing pig roast and some fantastic music from up and coming DJ’s.
The Full moon as ever has been a huge one! With new years and the full moon coinciding Koh Phangan has had the thousands arriving on its shores for a splendid start to 2010. For many it is the busiest they have ever seen the island. Lets hope it’s a sign of things to come and the year ahead continues to be a busy and enjoyable one on Ko Phangan.
At Luna we have been busy getting ready for the new year with an exciting new project in the works and an incredibly talented new member of staff on the way! We are also introducing our new cocktail menu with some delicious new things to try! With the restaurant filling up each night we have met some lovely new faces and have even had the odd night where we have sadly had to turn people away. The high season has certainly started on a high and although many people will be heading home after their festive break we are confident we will remain busy and hopefully now have space for all that want to come and enjoy the Luna food!
