Koh Phangan and Full Moon Party


G’day All,
Well we are currently on the island of Koh Phangan having a wild time. Last night was the full moon party and boy was it a huge night. We arrived down here 3 days ago and having been chilling and partying the whole time. We are loving the cheapness of this country and are living it up like kings on this paradise island. I met up with Tate on our first night here but he had to move on up to Chang Mai as he was running out of time so he missed the full moon party. Yesterday we rented a very fast scooter and have been cruising around the island on that for the past 2 days. It took a little bit to get used to being so zippy and the cars being so crazy over here but we have it down now. Today we went for a ride around the island and stumbled across an elephant farm by accident so that was a nice little surprise although the elephants didn’t look all that healthy with their pale yellow trunks. There was a good 10000 people at the full moon party last night and Dan and I managed to stay together for a good 45 minutes before losing each other for the rest of the night. We have met heaps of cool people on this island and everyone seems to be from different countries so that keeps it interesting. Another exciting thing we did was peal back a meal of lovely bugs a good half hour ago. Yep we have a nice selection of bugs including cockroaches, grasshoppers, maggots, and a caterpillar not to mention some chicken feet and possible dog. It was not the best meal I’ve had before and I’ll try to put a video of me dry reaching up soon. Tomorrow we plan to head off to Phuket to stay at Patong beach for a couple of days before heading down to Phi Phi Island then to Cambodia and Vietnam for a few weeks to catch some war history.
That’s all for now chilling out in the hammock in paradise,
