NYE! Full moon day…
We didn't go too much in the day, We went to our new fave local restaurant, she recognised us and was very happy we came back!
On the way back we stopped at a view point to take a few pictures.
Down the road we say a sign for a giant duck, so of course pulled in to see what this was all about!!
There was no giant duck… it had been taken down, we were very sad :( But it was apparently a giant duck floating in the sea, amazing!
So now i was all sad we headed back to the hostel to just chill before tonight.
We ordered a pizza hut to line our stomachs and brought some chang from 7/11 to start the night.
We booked to go @ 9pm but our driver turned up @ 8pm to pick us up and take us to the pier, luckily we were ready! So we took our chang with us..
The pier was literally just down the road and as soon as we got there the boat was ready to go, so looks like we were leaving now instead of 9 then, ohwell!
The speedboat was pretty interesting, we had to wear life jackets again! I swear they really are more of a hinderance than anything. It was quite choppy though to say the least and i had heard a few horror stories but i just sat with my fingers crossed and drank my chang!
It was quick and we were there in about 20 minutes, before we were even inside the full moon area James had purchased a crazy glow in the dark hat and i had brought a string of glow in the dark flowers, getting fully involved!
Once inside we went on to purchase an armband and got our bodies painted with UV paint, Proper ravers aren't we?!
I had told myself we wouldn't buy a bucket, all the horror stories, really not worth it! But we ended up getting on… I did however pay an extra 100 THB for absolute raspberry vodka, I was distracted talking to a little man on the stand but James was adamant he watched them make the bucket… I however was 100% sure they did not put absolute vodka in, it didn't even taste like raspberry and it tasted crap, So i didn't drink it! Instead i went straight onto Chang. James thought he could deal with it so drank it for abit but then gave up on it and came on the chang aswell.
We walked around for a bit, quite bemused by the kind of people the full moon party attracts, bearing in mind it was only about 9pm and there were already people asleep on the beach…
After a wonder i spied a roof top bar so we headed in that direction, found a seat overlooking the full moon party so i was quite content to sit here for the rest of the night haha bearing in mind there were 30k plus people down below i much preferred it up here!
As we were people watching James spotted Josh so ran down to grab him and they all came up to have a drink with us! plus some balloons, a lot less lethal than dodgy vodka!
We spent a couple hours on the rooftop bar then headed down below… :/
Once on the beach we went pretty much straight into another bar that was playing drum & base very loudly but we got involved anyway. After a couple drinks in here it was already midnight!
The fireworks were amazing! Once we saw in the new year we headed back to the pier to wait for our speedboat @ 1am, Early i know but we could see it getting very messy if we stayed any longer and chang gives me the worst hangovers!
The journey back wasn't as bad as on the way and everyone was just sleeping, thank god we didn't go back any later as i'm pretty sure there would have been a lot of sick everywhere :/
J&K Over & Out x
