Today is the 11th of feb and it is currently 9.03pm. I have just
stepped into bed aftere the longest night ever. Last night was the night
of the full moon party at Haad Rin beach. It was a brilliant night.
We started off chilling on the beach in the day and the lads started drinking
about 12. We all went swimming and just had a chilled day before the bbq
that andy was putting on. Everyone disappeared a few hours before the
bbq to get ready and sleep knowing it was going to be a long night. Us girls
headed to thed BBQ at around 8pm and started the drinking. The bbq was
fantastic, we had chicken kebabs that were lovely. We also had thai rice and
a salad with the best dressing ever. Everyone smoothered there food in it.
There must have been about 30 of us sat around 3 long tables placed together,
andy does free bbqs before the full moon so everyone gets to know eachother.
It was a genius idea as we met tons more people. Everyone was in the party
spirit and it was so mmuch fun. After the bbq finished a stool got set up
with UV paints and designs for body paint. I got some art work on my legs
which was just swirly and flowery it was really nice but simple. It cost
me on £2 which wasnt to bad as it looked brilliant in the UV light.
We then headed back to our room for about 9.30 where Matt, Rosie and Nicole
(friends from home) met us for pre drinks. They seemed to really like our
resort and get along with everyone pretty good. Rosie and Nicole has a sansom
bucket but apparently it tasted pretty bad. I then painted everyone up
as Natalie had already brought some UV paint. It looked pretty good to be
honest.
We all then joined the rest of the group who were getting painted up.
Arron one of the Yorkshire lads had a geckko on his head, Danny had writen
on his back, if found please return to Phangan Beach Resort which was quite
funny although this morning it had all disapeared. We all got a taxi tio
Haad Rin Beach at about 11.45, there were about 60 of us that had to get into
3 taxis.t this was possibly the funniest thhing on our trip. We all rushed
for the mini van, which was PIMPING. there was 20 of us ina 9 seater van.
The thais love there health and safety, the music was loud, everyone was sat
on eachothers laps and itwas just absoultely histerical. The trip to Haad Rin
beach took about 20 minutes and its got some seriously steep hills and very
bumpy roads. We all got there safely and waited for everyone in the other 2
taxis which were pick up trucks to get there. We all headed in and alcohol
was being sold everywhere, buckets with bottles of vodka, can of redbull and
coke for 5 quid. Not bad at all. The place was crazy, there were THOUSANDS
of people and everyone has UV paint all over thenm. We headed down to the beach
and check it out, all the bars are blasting music out and everyone is dancing on
podiums outside. Within 10 minutes of being there we lost everyone in our group
I stuck with Matt,Nicole and Rosie and had a great time. Matt saw some thai
guy putting his hand in a bag trying to steal something so we took it upon
ourselve to mug the mugger, this was so funny. Every thai person we saw, we just
grabbed their pockets, we didnt steal anything but just wanted to make them
feel nervous and it worked.
We walked around and danced about for an hour before finding, Josh, natalie
trudy and anders and had a little dance with them. On the beach lanterns were
being set off and they float into the sky, they look brilliant. Fireworks were
being set off over the backdrop, the experience was pretty sureal to be honest.
I thenn got a text from my friend John whose sister I know from back in soutahmpton.
We met up with John and his friend and had a bit of a dance and got something to
eat. By this point it was probably 4am in the morning. We hit the beach again
and then decided we had had enough so went back to the taxi rank and got in
our hotel cabs. I had to split with the southampton posse here but it was OK
because I started talki g to this gal Shona from London. I stuck with her and
we all got in the mini van, I had a moment of being ill whilst in the taxi and
when we got back to the resort the girls who I was sharing a room with wernt
back, they had the key. This was really frustrating but OK because I got
talkig to some english girls who were staying in appartments next to us. These
girls were really lovely and we all went for a 6am swim in their luxury infintiy pool.
It was really warm. The girls had to be picked up at 630 to go to cambodia so I
waved them off and then went back to check if the others were back,.
I got back to the bungalow and there were loadsa people sat on the beach outside.
It was Josh, anders, natalie and trudy, the sun was rising and it was still really
warm just a little damp. Loadsa people started joining us which was cool and we
had our own private party on the beach. Some people went for a swim. We all stayed
on the beach until 9am when we went to the bar and all got massive fry ups. This
seemed like a good idea apart from I could hardly eat any of mine. It was just
what I needed though. All the lads carried on the drinking and at about 1030 I
went to bed and had a 2/3 hour nap. When I woke up I got changed, headed to
the bar to finnd that most of the people hadnt slept and were still drinkinng
these people had stamina!!!! Everyone in our resort was really lovely. It was Toms
birthday so we all had a sing song and then gave himn the best chocy cake that
Andy and De had got him. before throwing him back in the sea for birthday bumps.
the drinking carried on and we all went for a swim and just chilled out chatting
and laughing on the beach. We stayyed on the beach to watch the sun set, so we had
seen the sun set on the 10th, riseon the 11th and set again, this ws pretty strange
but a really good thing to see. the sun sets over here are beautiful. Loadsa
people kept joining us and we had a really good day. People started dropping off at
about 7ish but when I came back to our room at 9 LOADS of people were still at it.
Josh had fallen asleep on the bench on the beach, so we painted his nails pink, dyed
his hair, covereed him in ketchup and mayonaise, tied him to the table, Anders
soon dropped off so we tied josh and Anders together. It was soo funny to see
them try and gt up. Josh was out for the count so Danny, josh's brother lit a fire
underneath his seat and the heat woke him up. It wasnt a big fire but josh felt it
then couldnt move cause his feet were tied.Otto the barman thought this was the
funniest thing ever. Otto was a pretty cool guy and very helpful.
I am now in my bed and feel completely drained. I have no energy feel slightly hung
over and really dehydrated. Its not good. I am going to take it easy now untill Oz.
I cant wait for oz I have met some AMMAZING australians and cant wait to visit them
in their home towns.
bye bye for now.. xx
