Were it not for the waves of green, clinking beer bottles, you’d think the hundreds of inert bodies strewn along the shore had washed up dead.
Behind them, many more youngsters are slumped, their heads between their knees, vomiting into the sand.

Then there are the men urinating in the sea and an array of naked couples bobbing up and down in the water. The sordid scene is lit by a beautiful, white full moon. But then this is the Full Moon Party on Thailand’s Koh Phangan island — the most renowned and revered experience on every backpacker’s itinerary.

Every month, 10,000 youngsters gather here and many of them are British middle-class school leavers for whom a trip to Thailand — and the rich cultural experiences it has to offer — has become a rite of passage

Privately-educated Mike Coe, 19, from Exeter, is the first reveller I encounter.

Privately educated!? Oh the shame!

Honestly, what a load of recycled old shit. Doesn't seem to be very difficult to get a journo's job at the Mail any more.

Added: Oh for god's sake what miserable sow wrote this shit!

When at last the pair drag themselves out of the sea, I hear their well-spoken English accents. One can only imagine what their parents would think.

Laura Topham needs a good seeing to.

The bit I really like was from one of her earlier articles:

Laura blew her first student loan on drinking and dresses

What a hypocritical slag.

What I'd give to shag a blond again, well not 5,000baht which is what they are asking down walking street thats for sure, oh well, probably too old for those full moon parties now

**Davis Knowlton** · 27-09-2010, 02:22 PM

Sounds pretty pathetic. But, at least they have them all cordoned off in one area.

**Norton** · 27-09-2010, 02:24 PM

The end of western civilization for sure.

***Stop the press***

Kids have fun on a beach.

See, they don't chop your cock off at private schools.....

We only shared one Happy Shake between us,’ says her boyfriend. ‘I can’t believe how many mushrooms must have been in it.

‘They shouldn’t be selling something so strong, it’s not fair on travellers.’

they just cant stop whinging.

sordid indeed, nothing worse than out of control students. it was all so different in my day ..... blah blah blah .... cont. on page 91.

**Cujo** · 27-09-2010, 02:41 PM

Looks like a great advert to me.

No, but you get buggered senseless though, don't you? The katoeys must do good business.

**rawlins** · 27-09-2010, 02:55 PM

Looks good fun - wish I was in a situation to enjoy it again.....

Last time I went to one was yonks ago - prancing about and cleaning my shoes in the sand with some daft dancing.... Vodka red-bull by the bucket...

Those were the days.

**dirtydog** · 27-09-2010, 03:09 PM

Did you give any girls any lasting memories of yourself

**bkkpirate** · 27-09-2010, 04:16 PM

I don't know if I want to search for a pic of this prolific writer... it was bad enough reading the titles of her previous expose'(s) (sic) from the Mail

Love this one sentence paragraph...

"The stench is overwhelming, a nauseating blend of alcohol, sweat, urine and vomit."

Sounds like a typical late night here.

Olympic Gardens
Vegas Strip Club, Topless Las Vegas Gentlemens Club OG

Hmmm... students, booze, drugs = death?

Daytona Beach, hotel balcony diving.
Panama City, Florida
Tijuana
Cozumel
Guadalajara

Babylon and on...

**kingwilly** · 27-09-2010, 04:21 PM

yep, terrible. fancy kids having fun.

I love the Daily Mail. Just when you think Britain has gone to the dogs the Daily Mail can confirm its gone even lower than that.
The piece though seems a fairly accurate summary of what goes on. I'm shocked.
And seriously I would not worry to much. The DM has not changed. You're just older

Girls and boys... shagged em all....

**Seekingasylum** · 27-09-2010, 04:46 PM

Wish I was 19 again.

Having frequent casual sex after a heady cocktail of booze and dope and then up for a decent breakfast is such a distant memory I'm not sure if it even happened..

One thing is for sure, I don't recall contemplating my parents' disapproval as I was thrusting my way between the thighs of a lubricious wanton hussy. To have done so strikes me as a tad perverted.

Wanton hussy(s): Snort up that line of coke of my tits, take me from behind and then I'll suck your cock until you're dry, big boy.

thegent: Well, I'm not sure. I don't think that mummy would approve.

I like my women "coloured in".

**Butterfly** · 28-09-2010, 08:07 AM

how are all those female teenagers fatties ? teenage boys will fuck anything, even whales

**bobo746** · 28-09-2010, 08:13 AM

^ didn't we all at that age.

**Probosci Akimbo** · 28-09-2010, 09:36 AM

Just typical Spring Break behavior.

If parents for a moment believe their 19 somethings are any less wild
than they were at that age, they are on glue, for the last decade.

**sabang** · 28-09-2010, 09:59 AM

I'm glad these young production line Clones, utterly devoid of imagination, have their own dedicated 'backpacker' or '18 - 30's' resorts scattered around the globe- it makes them easy to avoid.

Business is business I guess, but it is a bit of a shame that many of the places they infest were once very nice indeed. Thats progress I suppose, there are still plenty of nice places to go fortunately- and they might stay that way as long as Lonely Planet et al aren't told about them.

The 'Backpacker trail' must be one of the greatest misnomers in the history of travel.
