Mission for all you 'shroom -heads; get yer asses to Thailand at least once at Full Moon time...... drink Mushroom shakes.... they are legal and pack about 2 dry grams into a shake with some fruity mixture and actually taste good...... each shake is 12 bucks, I had 3 last full moon {I have been to 5 now} and was on another fucking planet for 7 to 8 hours. Then....go to Beach..... party from midnight till 9am with 8000-10000 other like-minded people to Psy-trance and progressive house..... watch sunrise ..... repeat same every month at full moon time.

DAMN...they really need to build some underwater tunnels to connect every continent. Even though i live on the east coast, in a state thats along the ocean, I know i'll never get to thailand. :dupe: Bring on the tunnels!!
Sounds Very sweet... however I was reading there site and it says that the government is proposing tougher measure's to stop drug flow. Therefore they are illegal... I would love to go and shroom, sounds very sweet... but dont want to get arrested... Maybe I'll see you there one day Jai Dee...
ya, no question you have to be careful and I came very very close to getting busted for smoking some Ganja last month..... they approached me [4 undercover Johns] just after I had stubbed my last spliff and had zero evidence so even though it reaked they had to let me go; pheeeew. BUT..... the Mellow Mountain bar on the far end of the beach as well as 2 other bars on the beach do sell mushroom shakes with a really strong strain of Koh Samui fungus inside them....12 bucks for one shake, 2 gets you into a Godlike state and 3 make you Buddha Himself. for some reason they can do it, they must be paying off the John or something but it's easy to buy and no problems, I stayed on Koh PhanGan for 70 out of the last 150 days and tripped out about 25 different times. Jai Dee {good heart in Thai }
I found Koh PhanGan full moon parties to be hell on earth IMO. Full of drunk, arrogant, obnoxious 19 year old Euro backpackers getting fucked out of their brains and being happily fleeced of all their parent's cash whilst under the illusion that they're doing something really alternative and cool. And yes, I have been to one. Too many police and drunk/amphetamine fuckwits to make it worth your while IMO... Parts of the island are nice but Haad Rin is a tourist trap... The music was kinda crap as well, I'm a fan of psychedelic trance and they were playing nothing psychedelic, all Israeli style formulaic breakdowns and predictable melodies... If you want better parties with better drugs (ie parties with no alcohol or speed available) and better music and less people trying to take every penny you have I go to places I won't specifically shout about on internet forums but Nepal and certain valleys in India... Anyway this is all just my opinion... Plenty of people seem to enjoy it and if it's making them money then fair play but I've seen many farang treat the locals like shit at these events as they think they have the money = they have the power. My 2 cents, enjoy, not a personal attack...
not taken as one, and I do enjoy the full moon parties but must admit, the period BEFORE and AFTER is much better on my little piece of paradise..... I stayed there more than 2 months this past winter and the jungle 1/2 moon parties 1 week before and 1 week after full moon were much better. that being said, the full moon IS kinda fun......you have at least 10 different venues for tunes so you are assured to find something you like [I prefer alternative and hang at The Drop-In club mostly]. But yes, I do agree there are WAY too many people and lots of them are retarded and too drunk; the Thai's usually kick the shit out of the most obnoxious ones or they get arrested, which is cool LOL. going back next winter for another 70 or 80 days, can't wait
