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 ?

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. Goop customers.

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.

Only went to KP that one time in 89, did spend a month resting on my bicycle trip in samui on Mae Nam beach in 83., It was great ..Bungalow on the beach, fresh seafood, samsong/coke

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
