Fire dancing is synonymous with the beach party scene in Thailand. I didn't encounter it on the fairly sedate Chaweng Beach of Koh Samui, however it was a nightly occurrence once I reached the Full Moon Party beach, Haad Rin, on Koh Phangan.
Even though I was seeing these guys almost every night at some points, it never got old. And it was a lot of fun to increase the exposure on my camera and try to capture the motion and trails of the fire.

Awesome photos of Fire Dancing in Thailand! I sometimes see these guys doing this and juggling in front of stopped cars at stop lights in South America. I find it pretty entertaining.
Thanks Jason, I remember seeing some interesting acts at the intersections in Medellin. Sometimes 3 people would stand on each others' shoulders, and then juggle. It wouldn't be pretty if they fell down.
