Thongchai was the illegitimate son of a military junta and a student protest. Because of his dubious birth, he was given the least visited island in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Phangnan. Eldest song Somchai was given Koh Samui, an already established port town of western holiday-makers and second son Supaporn was given Koh Tao, the spiritual mecca for divers. Thongchai was sad and he cried constantly into his green papaya salad.
Luck would have it, one day Thongchai stumbled upon the Spirit of Debauchery and the Spirit of Unrest fraternizing, even though his father had just decreed the two to enternal separation. Thongchai was just about to go tattle when the two Spirits made him an offer for his silence. They would make his island, Koh Phangnan, the most visited island of them all. Thongchai thought long and hard and finally conceded so long as the promise could be made true.
The task wasn't an easy one. As Debauchery knows, Koh Samui is already Daytona of the Oriet and even Unrest couldn't deter the avid divers from going to Koh Tao. Finally, the had an idea. From years of inciting student uprisings, they both knew to get people to show up, all that is needed is a little direction and a lot of marketing. Thus, under a luminous sky, the Koh Phangnan Full Moon Party was born.
Revelers flocked to the island on the eve of every full moon to drink, dance and make merry. The Full Moon Party became so popular that Thongchai had to launch a Half Moon Party to house the overflow. And that my gentle reader, is the creation of the Koh Phangnan Full Moon Party. Unfortunately for Thongchai, since selling his soul to the two spirits, he'll never see the day of a peaceful government but he's already drafting plans for the Waning Crescent Party to launch in early 2009.
