The morning came to head to Ko Pha-ngan it took about 1 hour 45 minutes on the boat, the journey was very pleasant as the sun was shining.. we just sat dangling our feet off the side of the boat and applying suncream litterally every 10 minutes. We had to catch a songtheaw to Haad rin where we were staying the three nights. We had booked our accomodation online as we thought it would be really busy.. thought bloody wrong. Ko Pha-ngan is known for its Full Moon Parties... we had said all along we wern't bothered for attending a full moon party and obviously at the time we weren't there when one was on. This made it really quiet with not much going on.
Anyway back to the accomodation we had booked, it was a 20 bed dorm room which was decorated all in pink with playboy stickers everywhere.. our first thoughts when arriving was 'My Lord.. this is bladdy lavely' (obviously being sarcastic) but then when being taken upstairs to the dorm room, it turned out to be the best dorm room we have actually stayed in. It had everything.. AC, 2 bathrooms, shower gel, shampoo and even a mini fan above our beds.. pink ones obviously.
Once we settled in we decided to go for a wander and grab some dinner, we ended up at the beach doing a spot of sunbathing.. but that didn't last long as it was far to hot.
That night we just went out for a couple of drinks and watched Tottenham V Man City.. Man City got lucky in the 94th minute.. uhhh Peter wasn't happy. After that football game we headed back to the Playboy Mansion where we decided to watch the other football game Arsenal V Man Utd.. half way through Lucy got tired and went up to the room to bed. Although we stayed in a 20 bed dorm we have got to admit we slept really well... apart from a couple of nights being woken up at 6 o'clock in the morning to the sound of manly snoring coming from the girl on the next bed...
Our second day in Ko Pha-ngan consisted of finding another beach where we had to walk over a mountain to get to it.. there wasnt much of a beach but we spent most of our time in the sea playing 20 questions and other silly games. That evening we went to sunset beach and sat with a beer to watch the stunning sunset.
When getting back to the Playboy Mansion everybody in our dorm were heading to the 'Black moon culture' party that night.. we had discussed going to it earlier in the day but then put our sensible heads on and said we should save the money...Only after a few words from our fellow dormers and a facebook message from Leah and Matt who we met in Vietnam.. the sensible heads came off. Later that night we were watching fire shows on the beach, drinking, dancing and Peter even got a stupid UV gecko painted on his arm...out of all the things he could have picked i think he definatly chose the crappest one.
The morning after i think everyone in the dorm had a lie in and a lazy day.. from spending to much money the night before. We then decided it was time to move on and book our boat to Koh Samui for the morning after.
Our thoughts on Koh Pha-ngan.. don't bother going unless its for the Full Moon Party.
