Is the Full Moon Party safe?

It's generally safe if you stay aware of your surroundings, avoid the fire jump ropes if intoxicated, and watch your drinks.

Where should I stay for the Full Moon Party?

Haad Rin itself is convenient but noisy and pricier on party nights — many travellers base slightly further away for quieter sleep.
