Personal Thailand strongly advice you to skip this full moon party. If you are already on the way or there already you know that some streets are filled with 70 cm of water.

This time of year people get stranded on Samui and other Island in South Thailand and accidents happen with speed boats when they try to go out in strong winds.

If possible avoid Samui right now and wait a week or so to the water have gone down. The flooding has been worse every year because people cut down the threes on the hills to make house, off course against the law.

Chumphon province in south Thailand that is also declared a disaster zone.

The PAD in south Thailand threatening to close airports again and the five airports are Hat Yai, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani and Phuket. They told the press that they will start blocking the airports on Saturday when the new PM trying to visit his home town. The PAD wants him to back to Bangkok since they think he is a proxy for his brother in law Mr Thaksin the former ousted PM of Thailand.

Amazing Thailand!

Nothing amaze me this week more than the latest Thai government I read that Commerce Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mingkwan Saengsuwan wants to patent the full moon party. He gave the reason that he wants to patent this famous festival in order to prevent not to let other countries copy it.

Full Moon Party is held at Koh Paghan, Suratthaini. It will be held very full moon day, it’s the party along the beach where the people can have fun all night long under the full moon light. Anyhow, some people don’t agree with this idea, either do I because not everything can be patented. The expert says the things you can patent must be inventions; literary, scientific and artistic works; performances; or trademarks but full moon party is not fit in any categories, so in other words, the full moon can’t be patented.

One more thing for you to know the minister, full moon party has been occurred to many countries around the world for hundreds years or maybe thousands. Open your mind and understand that “full moon” and “party” are such the normal words that people can use, it’s impossible to be patented.
