Full Moon Party

So, what's the next biggest beach party, after the oh-the-people-there-
are-so-dead Zoukout?

Definitely will be the Full Moon Party that held in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

This was a flaming sign in one area of the beach.

Get to know this party on TV,
and this is what I found on web, basically describe what the whole party is all about:

'the Full Moon party is the thing that's brought thousands of tourists to Koh Phangan. The locals make a *LOT* of money getting the tourists all drunk. There are booths that line the sand at Haad Rin that say "Happy Bucket" or "Great Bucket" or "F*cking Great Bucket" and they sell little plastic buckets (as used to build sand castles) filled with alcohol (and possibly Red Bull or coke/sprite) - they throw in the ice "for free." Every month, thousands of tourists (esp. ang mo) come to Koh Phangan and get incredibly drunk and act stupid.' - no gov what.

It looks really fun on TV and tempting me to go there, but somehow at the end of the show, seeing thousand over people r fighting over a small speed boat juz to get back to the mainland or passed down on the beach, turn me off.

I guess, if you can't stand the crowds, you can either book a resort to stay over, or do not enter the place at all (no point for u to get there, have a look, den go back early rite?)

The dark side of the Full Moon Party (and I'm not talking about the overdoses)
The legendary dance party, which takes place on Ko Pha-Ngan whenever the moon is full, has been a famed backpacker milestone for years. Yet travellers have lately been expiring during the FMP at a surprisingly rapid clip. In April, an Israeli tourist was stabbed to death during a bar fight. In early 2005, an overloaded Samui-bound speedboat capsized, leaving seven dead. And what's up with all those drunk people napping in the ocean?! Please, friends: Look alive out there, 'kay?
