I went there twice at the beginning of 1999 and 2000, and can honestly say it was the best time I've had in my live, especially in 99. Lovely beaches and scenery, lovely food and drink, and for those of us with an interest in parties and certain substances <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> , absolutely mindblowing raves at nights. We stayed in Vagator, near Anjuna, and it was just amazing.
Sadly in 2000 the authorities decided they did not like the backpacking scene anymore, banned all music after 10:00 p.m. and promoted 'silver-haired' tourism. I read a report on the papers recently and apparently the party scene has been killed off completely. No hippies, no full-moon parties, nothing but new tourist resorts and OAPs reading the Mail <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> . Has anyone been there recently?

Sounded great before it changed into Pleasantville! <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Anyone know of any other intercontinental party locations? Mainstream or underground, happy-go-lucky desert islands or neo-apocalyptic industrial warehouses...?
Apparently most of them have now moved to Thailand. I've heard lots of good things about the place, and there are suppossed to be wicked parties there as well. The only thing, you would not want to be caught with drugs there...
Still just a tad excited. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Where about in Thailand? Are you going to watch the footie or just to party?
The party seen on Koh Pan Ngan is blinding...well if you can handle it <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> This year there was a full moon two days before NYE, which was all a bit mental and then followed by
NYE itself (the parties last a good 24 hours).
mmhhh...gotta get back there soon !
