On the wild jungle island of Koh Ta Kiev in the Gulf of Thailand, beats, colours and people from all over the world melt into one. The Alternative is a nine-day celebration of psychedelic trance culture – from classic Goa melodies to driving full-on and twisted night-time sounds, brought to you by an international line-up of artists.
UV art, hand-crafted deco, art galleries, workshops, a healing zone with massage, restaurants and a sound system that takes you on a journey from sunset to sunrise and beyond. Leave the ordinary behind and step into an alternative reality.
Shuttle boats leave from Ream on the mainland – the crossing takes about 45 minutes. There are no shops on the island, so come prepared. Camping is available, plus a limited number of rooms and a bunkhouse.
Respect nature and the people around you. Everyone is welcome as they are and should feel fully included – discriminatory behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. Please keep the island clean and put all trash, especially cigarette butts, into the bins provided.
