Who Does The Full Moon Party Benefit ?


Rooo

Recommended Posts

The guest house and hotel owners in Haad Rin who know that even in low season they will have one very busy week per month.

Anyone who sells food and beer in Haad Rin will see a big spike once a month.

The taxi mafia.

The police who benefit from naive 'Big mama' era backpackers who still think it's 1998 and that it's safe to smoke and buy weed on the beach or those fresh of the boat (literally) who end up contributing to the police retirement fund.

The boat and speedboat operators.

To a lesser extent the other beaches/areas such as Ban Thai also benefit with the over-spill but Haad Rin is the main beneficiary. Even Samui and Tao will feel the effects and an increase in tourist numbers.

This sums it up nicely,

Chaloklum much the same... few of the side roads have been concreted.... still the same sleepy place... thumbsup.gif

Here's a pic of Malibu beach, just down the road.... never seems to change... only problem here if there is wind, the white sand being so fine gets places you don't want it!!! biggrin.png

Here's Ko Ma, at Mae Haad beach, Tropicalevo mentioned.... definitely one of the nicest beaches on the islands... generally always busy but rarely crowded ... but with sensible people!

Sad to see a jet ski there though, does do much for the little remaining coral... sad.png(taken last Friday)
