The full moon party was pretty OK, I went a couple of time 2000 and 2001 and 2006.
Its OK, I definitely had some mad adventures. The only thing is it is rammed full of people who are absolutely mullered on cheap booze (mainly buckets), so you see a fair bit of unpleasantness and aggro. I recall seeing one bloke hit his missus square in the face, almost lifted her off her feet. Took me about 4 minutes to process what I had seen. Given I was on a 4 day diet of speed pills, mushroom shakes and whisky was a bit too late stepping in to play the hero.
It's easy to get carried away on the sauce and other bits and pieces, looking back I wouldn't risk it again, but they were crazier times. Digging for treasure in the jungle swamp, hiding under the bed from the bats and Chairman Mao, my ability to make blue smoke appear from my feet. Never got any pictures of that as my mate threw his camera into the sea when it got possesed. Hey ho.
Anyway if you need a break koh tao is a great little island, especially for diving. I don't know what it is like now but they used to have very nice quiet restaurants on the beach, the power was only on for 8 hours a day. I spent a week doing nothing but eating, reading, smoking thai ciggies and playing frisbee. Most chilled I ever been.
