So we decided we'd head to the full moon party as chances are we won't be able to do anything like this again. As we are staying on Koh Samui we had to get a boat over, which was much easier and cheaper than we thought it'd be. We brought ourselves tickets and were expecting pick up at 10-1030 to get a boat at 11. Turns out the boats were massively delayed so we didn't manage to get on a boat until about 2am. And I can only describe it as being like the titanic, with everyone desperate to get onto a boat. It was crazy. We arrived eventually and headed along towards the beach which was about 1/2 km from where the boat dropped us off, but it was clear which way it was. There were lots of people selling food, neon paint and drinks in buckets (sand castle sort) in a bucket there was a can of soft drink, a half bottle of spirit and a small bottle of red bull. We walked to the beach before heading back to get a "drink" before heading to the beach. The beach was like a very drunk festival. The atmosphere was good but people were drunk and peeing in the sea which was gross. Anyway we danced and took photos and tried to keep our wits about us. Also by this time because it had been so crazy to get out there we decided to head back to the boats. People by this stage (about 4ish) we very drunk, I ended up putting some guy who had passed on the street into the recovery position. By the time we got to the port (about 4.15) it was clear that it was going to be more than a little tricky getting back. It was packed full of drunk people pushing and shoving. The short of it is, I lost my temper with some vile young Italian bloke who insisted on pushing me and everyone else there, they we also in the wrong queue but wouldn't listen. Luckily they took one look at Dennis and rapidly changed their tune. We didn't end up getting back to Samui until 6.30am. And we felt lucky at that. We crashed out and ended up feeling very poorly the following day, despite how little we had to drink.
All in all not really our thing, went for the experience but not one we'd like to repeat.
Sorry we haven't been writing the blog daily, we haven't been doing enough to justify a daily blog update. Mainly sat by the pool.
