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

1) No, And you would want to be off your head if you think this should be the case, You know people have Parades, Concerts, Sporting Events etc..etc.. All over the world, Do you expect all these people to clean up after themselves on there way home, Fat chance. Isnt that what civil servents are paid for????
2) No, But they make an awful lot of money from the sale of drink/food/Cds/T-shirts etc..etc...
3) Its mostly thai's but you will find a couple of westerners who sell them also.
