Hi all,
so we made it to Koh Phangan home of the infamous full moon parties. The island is a lot smaller than Koh Samui and only has one real resort to speak of! A little peninsula called Had Rin, it has a beach on either side sunrise and sunset. The full moon party was on sunrise beach and our "bungalow" (shack) was on the other beach.
It was nice to find out that building work was going on five metres in front of our room... i'm sure you all have so much sympathy for us!
We arrived four days early because we had to with our accommodation and spent the next few days attending the many warm up parties! It seems to be here that if the day has a Y in the end there is a party to be had! So it was only natural that we attended a few! It seems the only form of drink you can buy here is in the form a bucket (as shown in Helens bar above!) Of course we chose a Gin and Tonic bucket!
The actual full moon was on the 14th and we have never seen anything like it! you walk onto the beach and there was at least 10,000 people there covered in UV paint! Within the crowd we met up with guys we had met in Koh Samui and ended up spending the evening dancing and drinking with them! We got back in around 5, although at least thats what time we think it was...
It was a mad experience and something we will never forget! Next up is Ko Tao, a small island around 2 hours north of here for more beach action and we are told the snorkelling is amazing here!
Hope you're all ok and we will post again soon
