Peter Delevett’s latest World Hum story, The (Full Moon) Party’s Over, captures the scene at Koh Phangan’s famous (or infamous) Full Moon Party, but I was still curious what I might find from the parties on YouTube. The video offerings are many, and they are remarkably similar: farangs on a wide beach, drinks in hand, hooting and bopping to thumping disco music. The videos are amusing—for a couple of minutes. It’s not hard to see why Peter concluded the party was, at least as far as he was concerned, over:

It’s just so clouded. I was there last year. There were so many people and all the hotels in Phangan were booked out during the full moon party night. Many people needed to spend overnight on the beach but everyone was very enjoyed. Great party!!
