Full Moon Party Thailand- Do you have to get a hotel on Koh phangan or can you stay on Ko Samui and visit?

Question

Nearly all Koh Phangan hotels are booked up- so i was wondering if it would be suitable to get a hotel on Koh Sumui island and just get a boat over to party then return? Anyone been before?

Hi, I went to the Full Moon Party in February of this year and stayed in Samui. You can get a taxi or a bus - which is basically a pick up truck with seats in the back, its know as a Songthaew to the port. Just tell the driver you need to catch the boat to Koh Pangan for the Full Moon Party and he'll take you there.

From the port which is in Chaweng, you can get a speed boat across to Koh Pangan which takes about 15 - 25 mins. Once you reach Koh Pangan, you will be guided to the Full Moon Party where the entrance is about 100 Baht (£2 approx)

When you have finished partying, you can take the speed boat back to Samui from KPG, but be aware that it is usually manic as hundreds of people are all trying to board the speed boat and get back home.

The Full Moon Party is awesome and i'm going there for New Years Eve this year! If you want to get some cheap drinks to take to the party, stop off at 7-Eleven on KPG and get some there, although drinks on the beach are pretty reasonable.

Have fun, be safe and don't leave your drinks unattended!

Thanks BoT 23, I'm local (think you're too), but heard about these video never seen them before. I think it's almost like a movie. It's been in the news recently, but I didn't follow it till the end. It said (if I got it correct: sorry if I've got wrong) that the Thai guy thought it was a movie he acted in. He seems to be very well-versed in English and the clips were too good for hidden shots..
BTW, the girl in the other trouble was quite beautiful.

In all, these things can happen in reality. There are crooks every where not only in Thailand, but it seems British Channel 4 loves doing documentary about worst side of Thailand always. Just be careful. These time they didn't end with a still shot in front of the Thai Embassy in London saying they refuse the TV crews interview.

I've watched the clips again and wondered why all the police are not Thai???

Answer 4

Seven years ago start taking drug finasteride aka propecia for hair loss.
Forgot about side effects and had libido problems while on the drug without knowing why.
Last year move into flatshar to save money for a house - since this recession was supposed to be worst ever and buying was mad we were told.
Flat'mate' turns out to have aspergers - didn't mention this in the ad - and hardly talks, leaves lights out, puts his clothes in my wash, turns off the heating so I'm freezing...
Have panic attack at work mid last year, thought it was because of work harassment but instead was side effect of hormone drug propecia.
Then go back on drug and **** shrinks, finally figure out the cause then stop taking drug.
A week later aspie boy has slashed my leather jacket the horrible bastard cos I looked at him funny.
He couldn't get into nightclubs so was jealous. Plus he was a middle class twat while I come from poor stock.

No living room just a small cold room with crap tv so just stay in my room after work, no TV, and masturbate to internet porn all night, reducing testosterone levels more.
Tried to move out of flat but landlord tells me I have to sign new lease and stay or else move out next day, going back on his word.

Three weeks after quitting propecia my dick and balls shrink and I'm impotent for life, lose muscle, good looks and job.
Will be on testosterone replacemnet therapy for life which might not even work.
Also should add my old flatmate before the aspie knew I was taking the pills and also Viagra - cos I didn't know why i had no libido- and told my friends behind my back I used viagra but not propecia.

Should I be mad at all these characters?

Is it my fault, theirs, a bit of both or what? Should I get revenge?

Where does blame lie:
1)me for buying drug
2)aspie for lying about the flat then trying and succeeding to make my life a misery and thus making susceptibilty to drug sides worse, rendering me impotent for life?
3)Landlord for not watching the flat, allowing it to be grotty and unclean,not vetting flatmates and crucially not letting me move out and being threatening in doing so
4)Previous flatmate who knew I took propecia and had sides but didn't warn me and told friends about viagra, plus left the flat leaving me to have to find a new one
5)Previous workmate who tried to make my life a misery but harassing me and making insinuations about my background, sexuality etc
6)the drug company Merck
7)the spivs who sold me it online without warning
