By the maritime boundary, the country is bordered to the southeast by Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand, to the southwest by Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea. Thailand is the world's 51st-largest country in terms of total area, roughly equal in size to Spain, with a surface area of approximately 513,000 km2 (198,000 sq mi), and the 20th most-populous country, with approximately 63 million people. About 75% of the population is ethnically Thais, 14% is of Chinese origin, and 3% is ethnically Malay, the rest belong to minority groups including Mons, Khmers, and various hill tribes.

HistoryThe Psychedelic trance scene started more than 20 years ago. Like a seed taken root, the party scene has grown strong on the energy of party people and organizers alike. The parties with their beautiful locations in the jungle or on the beach with their amazing decorations makes you feel like you’re visiting another world.
[2010] Spaced-out sounds played day and night in THAILANDThailand is one of the world centers of psychedelic trance for pretty much as long as the music is around itself. Many of us may have had their first introduction into spaced-out sounds played day and night right here. Especially Ko Phangan is constantly developing its scene. The friendly island with its white sand beaches and lush forests hosts not only full moon party, where Tommy’s Resort still caters to the psychedelic traveler’s needs. But especially Half Moon and Black Moon party plus the bimonthly Shivamoon and Jungle Experience guarantee good party vibes, more so even in the early morning hours. Ban Sabaii hosts a party on any day after the moon parties, plus the bimonthly Acid Moon. Most parties play during the day and the atmosphere and energy is as familiar as it is inviting. Pirate Bar is a smaller location with regular parties set at an otherwise less frequented beach in the northwest of the island. And if you’re stranded and needy, there is always the option to listen to sometimes good and live and sometimes bad and taped trance at Zoom right at Haad Rin beach. The scene centers around Ko Phangan but is not limited to it. Neighboring island Ko Tao has New Year’s Eve’s Experience festival, a full-fledged festival for several days with up to 2,000 visitors. Bangkok’s Khao San road is home to Ooze Bar, opened every day. A simple and small street bar where you will run into people who you have already met at the island parties or are yet to meet. A very special venue is also Ezze bar; located in Bangkok’s famous RCA district with all its university students, it offers a different world just behind the doorstep. If you are lucky during your stay, you can attend a party some two hours from Bangkok on a vast reservoir. Rafts are towed together and pulled towards a tiny island and the beat doesn’t stop for three days. Please refer to the usual websites or to Ooze bar to find out about dates. Parties see lots of international DJs and some world-class residents. Music is ranging from progressive early at night, through full on at night to deep psychedelic in the morning. Entry fees usually are less than 10 Euros but some 50 for the lake event; however, you will see that wherever you go, you will get value for money. Be careful with your consumption; smelly herbs should be smoked far from everybody and purchased from trustworthy persons only.
