Some revellers had painted their themselves with fluorescent body paints as they danced to the exciting rhythm at the world-famous party.
Police and officials were out in full force to take care of the safety of partygoers. Regional habour officials at both Koh Samui and Koh Phangan have been strictly ensuring that boats travelling to and fro are not overcrowded and all passengers wear a life jacket.
