Mr. Tawit Somwang, the president of Rin Beach tourism operators told TPN media reporters, “This upcoming Full Moon Party will be under the concept of ‘Back to the Roots’. We are expecting about 6,000 to 7,000 tourists will join the party. However, it will be no more than 10,000 tourists as it is still the low season and there are still some roadblocks to international tourism like Thailand Pass discouraging some potential visitors. The next full party after May 16th will be next month on June 14th.” Keep up to date with all things Thailand - Join our daily ASEAN NOW Thailand Newsletter - Click to subscribe Ms. Nantawan Siripokkapan, the director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Surat Thani office told associated Thai media, “During this long holiday from May 13th to May 16th there are 53,541 tourists visiting Surat Thani which 36,721 are Thais and 16,820 are foreigners.” Full story: https://thephuketexpress.com/2022/05/14/at-least-6000-tourists-to-join-the-upcoming-full-moon-party-on-pha-ngan-island-in-surat-thani-say-tourism-operators/ -- © Copyright The Phuket Express 2022-05-16 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

KhunLA Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sadly, some things seem to be returning to pre-covid normal. So glad we got out & about before tourist numbers increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingstonkid Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 OK TIT Bars and clubs can not open because they may breed covid due to the closeness that people get BUT a known drug and booze sex party with huge numbers is ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on KPN for a short break back in February. Even then - no masks, plenty of alcohol and some of the ladies were definitely not 'social distancing'. Sorry - I have no idea about drugs. The west coast was quite busy but Haad Rinn (FMP area) was zombieville. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
