Big Waves, Two Drowned Bodies – FMP Dec 2005 CANCELLED!

Full Moon Party One day before the world famous Full Moon Party event could take place on Koh Phangan Paradise Island, two tourists drowned while swimming at Haad Rin Beach!

Possible reasons for the two drowned tourist bodies are the big and massive waves which currently hit the shore of Haadrin bay. Unfortunately Island News Headquarter doesn't have any more detailed information about the names, gender, nationality of the two drowned tourists - SORRY! According to reliable sources, Island officials have therefore closed the entire main beach area and shortly decided to CANCEL this month’s Full Moon Party Dance Festival because of security & safety reasons!

“We cannot allow this to happen again – two dead bodies are enough!”, Island SWAT Team Officials announced.

So … finally, as far as Becki can remember, it has happened for the very first time! Please correct me if I’m wrong! The first Full Moon Party ever got CANCELED – let’s hope that this was probably the last one!

Anyway … Becki had a short look at Had Rin beach the night of the Full Moon Party … and it was actually true – there was NO FULL MOON PARTY!

Police agents locked up the entire sunrise beach side and you could find flyers everywhere informing you that it’s definitely not a good idea to go swimming at the moment! How thoughtful! Though the Party Zone was packed with thousands of party hungry aliens … well … please come back next month!

NO HAVE FULL MOON PARTY!

So … see you next month! And my best wishes for the two souls re-entering the source!

Hi again,

well ... found some more details about the terrible accident of the two drowned bodies at Haad Rin beach in the Bangkok Post.

Two tourists, Maria Lindstrom, 21, a Swedish national and Viola Ossman, 22, also a Swedish national, were swept away by heavy currents.

Swedish tourists drown in Thailand
Two Swedish women have drowned in the resort island of Pha Ngan as torrential rains tore across southern Thailand, police said Friday.

Josefin Ossman, 21, and Johanna Sofia Lindstrom, 21 from the Linkφping area, were pronounced dead late Thursday after they drowned while swimming at Pha Ngan, despite warnings about the unusually strong current, police said.

"Police had warned them that the current was too strong to swim at Rin beach, but six of them did not heed our warning and went ahead and jumped into the ferocious sea," Colonel Pinyo Hualkasin told AFP.

Pha Ngan hosts a monthly full moon party, popular especially with young tourists who travel to the island for a night of drinking and dancing.

But Pinyo said provincial authorities had cancelled the party set for Friday night because of the powerful storm that has been lashing the Gulf of Thailand.

"We cancelled the party on safety reasons," he said.

Twelve Thais have died in floods across 14 southern provinces since late November, including a boy and his father who died in a mudslide that buried their home in Songkhla province Thursday.

Becki, you must have suffered some memory loss from being on the island too long.

The party has being cancelled before, more than once. The monks decided to impose there power upon party goers and close the event from happening on buddha day. a day before or later i think is when it takes place

hi pete,

sorry to burst your bubble of island illusion that becki suffers from severe memory loss ;-)

The party has NEVER been cancelled before! This was the very first time and has been reconfirmed by multiple highly reliable island departments!

What you describe is very well known as something we call POSTPONED! Meaning it is moved by a day or so ... but hasn't been cancelled! this has happened indeed many times before ;-)

im 2 years late i guess writing this comment.
one full moon party was canceled its no big deal, josefin and maria are my firneds and i was in the water when it happened...there were no warnings from the police, they said that to cover their backs.
it was an afternoon swim around 5pm we went in for, sober and undrugged.
there was a strong undercurrent dragging us in the water , we were in the water a minute before we realized this....there were many heroes that night, the local divers did all they could to supply oxygen, 5 australian doctors on holiday saved our llives, and american guy named mike personally saved mine.
josefin and maria will never be forgotten
opixx
