Full Moon Party

The infamous Full Moon party exploded on Hati Beach. Thousands and thousands of people poured to the main beach of Ko Pha-ngan, some like me took a speedboat across that night from Ko Samui. Id had a wee kip beforehand to make sure I could last the night. There was plenty of action all along the beach with the clubs all pumping out decibels of Dance music of every genre. Lights, glowsticks, neon body painting all added to the friendly festival atmosphere. I even ran into most of the people I met on Ko Tao, amazing given the masses.

Everyone seemed to be on something. From the clubs you would buy mini buckets of mixed drinks (eg Whiskey+coke). Of course there were drugs being pushed on the beach, but you would have had to have been stupid to take something from a Thai person posing as a dealer. Is it E, is it rat poison, is it a sting? The tip of the day was not to fall asleep on the beach if you didnt want your pockets cleaned out (hence no pics, left my camera at home). One german guy I met had been cornered by three Thais in the bathrooms and mugged of 900bt. But all in all a sweet night, dancing it away and talking nonsense. I caught my taxi speedboat back as the sun was rising at 6:00am.
