The year-plus pause that has followed has prompted much in the way of soul-searching and speculation. Some on the island are advocating for a more sustainable, better regulated and calmer event with the potential for less negative associations.
Others are reported to be in favor of killing off the cash cow permanently and paving the way for other kinds of tourism in Haad Rin. Many of the shops, bars and restaurants that line the streets of Haad Rin have been forced to close. But judging by the attitude of the whisky-supping powerbrokers, it seems that rumors of the imminent death of the Full Moon Party are premature.
The party attracts more than half of the more than one million visitors that come to Koh Phangan each year. It supports thousands of jobs and small businesses. Given the economic boost such a reliable influx of visitors provides, it's no wonder that many are desperate to see a return to business as usual. The absence of customers has had a knock-on effect on everyone from business owners to food sellers, migrant workers and taxi drivers.
We accept constructive criticism, but there's no reason why the Full Moon Party cannot come back when tourism opens up again. The group mention several areas in which they would like to evolve.
They accept the need for mask-wearing and social distancing: at least until the pandemic is firmly in the rear-view mirror. They also hope to attract a wider diversity of higher-quality businesses to Haad Rin to replace the massage and tattoo parlors and tacky souvenir shops, many of which are closed permanently. The Londoner, however, has the first-hand experience of a widely held reluctance to fix what many feel is unbroken. We presented the Haad Rin Business Association with a page document on how to turn it into a world-class event.
But such a plan needs serious investment. So why start now? They believe -- and probably rightly so -- that people will always come to Koh Phangan for the party. While a "same, same, but just slightly different" attitude appears to prevail for now at least in Haad Rin, Koh Phangan as a whole has witnessed a more nuanced evolution in recent times.
