Full-moon party only at Haad Rin

[Jungle Jim]

Well my hair was down long before the hedonists came. No the question is what is the matter with YOU? Did you ever bother to ask the locals what they really thought of the party and what it attracts. I don,t think you would get much of a positive answer. Guess you never happened to notice the nasty glares or understood what they were saying as you walked by. Trust me you don,t want to understand Thai. Deep down they really hate your guts for your total disrespect to their culture.

But, they don't hate the money. Given that the party is put on by THAIS, the DJs are THAI, the bar staff are THAI, if they hate it so much, they could shut it down tomorrow, but they won't.

[thaibeachlovers]

I was on KPA in 92....it was awful due to the beeps and squeeze music brigade so I returned to the mainland. However, I would not ban those parties. A lot of people have a lot of fun there. Good for them.

By all means keep the party at Had Rin. It stops the dread heads going to other beaches and ruining them as well.

[Jungle Jim]

Sure they are making a quick buck off of you. But ask any Thai in Thai what they think of most foreigners and they don,t think highly of you. my Thai friends DO NOT like foreigners and for numerous good reasons. Trust me they HATE the FMP goons.

The locals set it all up. They currently facilitate the fun and get well paid for it. No it is not to my taste but it is a big earner for the locals who before had nothing but hard labour fishing and coconut harvesting. What do you expect young people to do - Listen to Einer Klein Nachtmusik?

[55Jay]

I see the angry, sad old fecker showed up, doing his broken record lecture circuit.

[The manic]

Sure there are ignorant and racist Thais. And many who do not understand our hedonism because they are too repressed. They do not not have to go to our parties. But the Thais I know worship western counter culture, music fashion and lifestyle. And they copy it, emulate it and sometimes do,it better.

There are so many sad right wing nutters around. I am amazed I came to Thailand to get away from these SOFs still stuck in the 1950s.

Well, don't get me wrong, he's not all wrong, there are excesses and commonality in many of the farangs who run off the tracks here.

Just seems he's gone round the bend with his predictable refrain on pretty much any thread he comments on. I thought I was cynical but happy to see I still have a loooong way to go before I get to that level of righteous indignation.

I was there too with my ponytail and indian hippy gear on dancing to the song of the moment by a Glaswegian band - .It was great - hallucinogenic omelettes and amphetamines being sold as uniformed police watched. Tranquilizers being sold at the drug store for the comedown.

I'd say everyone has to experience tripping on a tropical beach or they haven't lived..

You must have a different type of Thai friend than me. Mine are very non-judgmental and tolerant of all sentient beings.

[Jungle Jim]

Guess what ? I ain,t that old and there are more than a few who don,t think highly of the party or the types of people it attracts . GET IT!

[Jungle Jim]

You are way off the mark. i am about as far left as you can get. And a lot the left still don,t care for what the party attracts. It is called total disrespect for the Thai culture.

Too repressed ? Give me a break. I guess you and your buddies forgot what country your in. Must be too much booze and pills.

As the THAIS run it, you must be accusing THAIS of not respecting their own culture. They could stop it tomorrow if they wanted to.

[Jungle Jim]

That might be true. Do you think the local mafia cares about Thai customs? Curious how many party goers understand that they support a mafia . Thank God it would never be allowed in places like Burma or Malaysia. Laos finally had enough sense to shut down the bars in Vang Vieng after complaints from the locals , many tourists and even other countries. It is only a matter of time before the same happens with the Full Moon Party.

all very well said jim. fingers crossed that time comes very soon. I'm friendly with some of the Thais who do run the FMP and they, themselves, don't care for the trash attracted by the disgusting party.

You have mental problems and need counseling. Seriously. Do you GET THAT?

[55Jay]

God knows, Jim, you and I probably have some commonalities in world views and even on the riff raff here in LOS. Seriously, I'm not with you on that.

But Jim, mate, you gotta bite the bit a bit. You sound like a bloody mad man. Honestly, mate, get a grip on yourself

[Jungle Jim]

Agree and sadly that same trash not only visits the FMP it gets blow about by the wind and tide and ends up in other communities that don,t deserve it. Curious how many of them understand what the Thais are saying right in front of them about their behavior. The majority of this lot would not survive a night outside their safety zones. Not too many brain cells left between the entire lot. Yea i ignore them for the most part and they no idea what they are dealing with when it comes to the Thais.

all very well said jim. fingers crossed that time comes very soon. I'm friendly with some of the Thais who do run the FMP and they, themselves, don't care for the trash attracted by the disgusting party.

[55Jay]

Jungle Jim has lost the plot. The tourist trade is isolated. Thailand is a vast country, most of which isn't impacted by tourism and the Thais do more harm to themselves than tourists do. That's a natural fact.

He's banging on as if the entire country is awash with problems from farangs. He is so out of touch with reality, lost in a haze of his own delusion, it's quite sad to read his drivel.

so simply stop reading it and replying to it. perhaps you'd be more entertained if you went outside and childishly and incessantly insulted people to their faces? run along now... you're boring.

I think you need to do a bit of research.

Yes Jim. You seems a bit overwrought about this. It's not really your job to sit in judgement over tourists and their Thai hosts. If you do not like FMPs then don't go to them. It really is that simple. I get the impression you have a bit of a god complex. But you can't control everybody just because you do not like them or their past times. In Thailand that is up to the Thai authorities and the local Thais. You belong to neither group. Perhaps you should consider returning to your own country and trying to influence people there. You are very unhappy to the point of being distraught. I shall remember you in my prayers.

**BUMP**

It can be accurately reported that EVERY party has been continuing on Koh Phangan, UNABATED, UNRESTRICTED, and with a reckless abandon never seen before. EVERY PARTY and even some new ones, are grinding on and on and on and on and on and on...

The words Prayuth and sincere should never be seen in the same sentence. I don't care what this rabble do, but I don't like their feeble attempts at deception. (If you don't like the use of bold font and capital letters... just pretend they don't exist.)

Everything is the same in Thailand accept some visa laws and seats on the gravy train have been switched from one gang to another.

All of these 'full moon' parties should be banned by the central government.

Grumpy old man award... This ban is just the Govts way of saying they are clueless, the KT murder was not related to a "party" ...it was a random crime possible anywhere at any time.

Agree Nothing to do with the Murders , but having 25,000 people out of their brain on a beach totally unsupervised/unprotected is asking for problems eventually . We used to have "Parties" that size when I was young ,in feilds and warehouses and the Government closed it dowm

[lildragon]

I've been to the parties many times. The problems are that they arw mafia run, with lots of scams and littering. If they were properly regulated then they'd be a lot safer and cleaner. If you don't like the parties, don't go to KPN. Simple.
