Thailand knows how to party
What springs to people's mind when they hear this are the full-moon parties highly popular with the young European tourists

Then there was the Raffle where every staff had a ticket and everyone won a prize – from rice cookers to a wide-screen television.
The next day was the Staff Sports Day that started off with a jog from the local village – specifically, from one of the tops of the many hills.
Then the 'mardi gras' came to Cape Panwa – noise, singing, chanting, costumes, food and dancing! The staff enthusiastically participated in several competitions of takraw, volleyball and 'who's wearing the most outlandish costume'.
On the last evening a more traditional party was held in Phuket Town. It, of course, involved more singing, dancing, noise and food – one week later they are still sharing their stories and photographs…
