Re: Death of the full moon party
I hadn't actually watched any of them till I read your comment but I have now and totally agree. The 1993 one looks like good fun, the others look like hippy fests. The Goa one has a soundtrack that didn't exist in the 1970s either. I was in Goa nearly 25 years ago and even though there were nice parts in the north like Arumbol they were polluted with dreadlocked dipshits who thought playing bongos and smoking chilums was where it was at. I bumped into a load of the same sort of cunts at a festival in Zambia in 2002, to say we didn't get on too well is a slight understatement. Don't get me wrong, I've known alternative types all my life and still have plenty of friends from the squatting/ festival crew I hung around with in my youth. However these are mostly just deluded trust fund kids with empty heads who want to bullshit about spirituality and are some of the biggest wankers you'll ever meet.

That 2020 thing looks like hell on earth, and the 1970s Goa one doesn't look much better. The Thai one though everyone's having a great time, not too many people, what's the problem ?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Death of the full moon party
Lol, I feel so old reading all your comments. Not as old as PR of course, ( !!!), but I went to Koh Phangan in the early eighties. Nothing there to speak of except the beach. We hired a boat to take us over and there were a few wooden bungalows. That was it.
No music, no phones, no electricity. Total chill.
Now I think, wow we had it so good. Nostalgia.
Different times. That's ok. Times change and we change too.

Re: Death of the full moon party
I stayed on Samui for 6 months on my first visit to Thailand in 1995. I didn't bother going across for any of the parties as I was looking for the total opposite, the peace and quiet of what for me at the time was a tropical paradise. Crowds were the last thing on my mind. Was going to do a revisit recently but when I checked the beach bungalows I stayed at originally they were 2.000+ baht a night compared to my 250 back then. I'll live with the memories.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

FYI> we went over to samui in like 2015, hadn't been there in over 15 years, unrecognizable and expensive an thats comparing it to Phuket
as above....."I'll live with the memories."
same reason i have not been back to Tibet since 94
