It wasn't the drug taking that put me off: what disturbed me were the pictures of the trashed beach the next morning... one day there was a georgous beach with perfect white sand, the next day a rubbish tip.

In England, we do agree with people coming into our neighborhood, having a full-blown rave all night long, and leaving the area trashed. If we travel half way around the world, does this behavour become more acceptable?

Very, very true - I firmly believe that TV programs do distort the true in order to get/keep an audience. Can someone who has been there confirm/correct some perceptions the program gave, please?

(1) How many of these "ravers" helped clean up the beach the next day (or the day after the next day, depending on how big their hangovers were ).

(2) Are the ravers charged an "admission fee" where the money went to the (beach owners, or the local town council) paid for the use of the beach?

(3) Were the people selling the drugs Thai's or "Westerners"?


Thanks
