Thailand banned the famous Moon party due to rampant drug and alcohol addicts
19 Январь, 2015
Thai Police, likely, put a cross on the plans of many thousands of Australian tourists after a ban on three of four main monthly «Moon» party.
Fun parties called semi- and a quarter of the moon party, along with some additional jungle party, will no longer take place on the islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao , not far from Koh Samui , on "addiction to alcohol and drugs» reasons, as stated by the new authorities of the country.
The only beach rave party, which is permitted, is the original project "Full Moon Party" on the island of Koh Phangan, which last October was attended by approximately 20 000 revelers from around the world.
As further steps, aimed at curbing the flow of unwanted tourists to the country, Thailand's ruling military junta announced another attempt to sanitize the sex tourism and low-cost access to Pattaya, located a few hours drive from Bangkok.
Also «Cleaning» was applied to Phuket – where the average 25 000 Australians spent a weekend each month.
Beaches in Thai Khao Mai, including Patong, have been cleared from the lounge chairs, umbrellas, massage therapists and hawkers.
In November 2014, hiring of surfboards at all beaches of Phuket was considered to be illegal, because it restricts commercial use of public space.
