Real Life Captured #14: Full Moon Party Ko Phagnan Thailand Part One (15 photos)

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hey there my Steemit friends! Come along for the ride and check out the full moon party! Last month I found myself back in the exotic islands of Thailand. This time I was with my friend George from London. We made friends in the city of Chiang Mai in the mountainous north of the country. After two weeks of being there, we agreed to hop a $40 dollar flight back to the islands and check out the full moon party in Ko Phagnan.

The full moon party is famous for visitors to Thailand far and wide. It's a booze filled, drug filled, free love, hedonistic barrage of crazy. That being said I'm quite a bore, I don't drink or smoke or anything, those days are far off in the rear view mirror for me. But I had a great time mingling with the thousands of young travelers who flock to Haad Rin Full Moon Beach each month to get wild and crazy.

George and I made plenty of friends including Ryan and Molly from England who will pop up in several photos though out this four part series. That's Molly with a few buckets of booze in her in this first picture. She certainly wasn't the only one drinking. Now come along my Steemit friends and let's have a look at the crazy!

Oh memories... From all the parties and festivals I have been to in my entire life, the Full Moon Party on Koh Phagnan was probly the worst and most disgusting experience I ever had. It is impressive how you can totally destroy the beauty of a place with an event like this. They are shipping tons of the dumbest of "travelers" and tourists on this island, selling them buckets of cheap booze and "enhancing-pills", getting people completly shitfaced. Police is 100% corrupt (well, no suprise its thailand) and a lot of the money influx goes in their hands. The amount of trash on the beach at the next day is desastrous. I have never seen so many fights in a single night. I cannot deny that the view of all those people and lights on the beach is spectacular but you pay that with the smell of vomit and the sight of passed-out people everywhere. I felt really sorry for the inhabitants of this island. At least they hopefully make a ton of money with it.

1/10 will never do again.
