RE: Real Life Captured #14: Full Moon Party Ko Phagnan Thailand Part One (15 photos)
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.
I never party in the first place so I don't have all that much to compare it to, unlike you. But this what I love about travel. You can see it all, experience it all, and have a good time with the right mind set. I take it all with a grain of salt and chalk it up to experience. I didn't go for a good time nor to get drunk and pass out. I went just to witness it all and have the memories and experience and bring it to my steemit audience. I wasn't expecting any more or less than what you described, I fortunately have a natural talent to enjoy all that travel brings me, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's life, it's my life, and all things being equal I had a good time and a night I'll never forget. Thanks for commenting.
Really healthy attitude you have! Thanks for replying, hope to hear more from you :)
