so..
ive left the madness of bangkok, afer an awful bus ride and then a equally awful boat ride i was headed to one of the islands.. this wasnt my plan to do the islands so soon but met some amazing guys so going to stay with them for a while! why not?
Koh Panang is probably one of the most famous islands. Originally famous for its beauty, it is perhaps now more famous for its full moon party. :)
It is safe to say that most of the Thai islands are not the places they used to be thanks to the influx of tourists and Koh Panang is no different. That said it not to say they have been ruined, as they remain absolutely stunning..
we stayed very far north away from the build up to the party..and had a very chilled couple of days, private beach, bamboo huts, hammocks! jenga!!!! nearest shop or any other beings about 20minute drive! paradise! Hours spent reading chilling in hammock swapping stories from back home! stayed for 3nights then it was time for the epic full moon!
The party kicked off early evening with a lot of people arriving after ten o'clock when locals,and mad mad backpackers try their skills at skipping the fire swing - a petrol-doused rope swung by two pretty strong guys. Youngsters swing 'fire sticks' and lots of buckets! yes people you drink from a bucket, complete madness but the best night ever! people passed out on the beach and then being buried by the locals. sunset on the beach made it a perect ending! well im loving travelling and any concerns i had have gone well and truely! peace xx- comments
