After wasting a day in Bangkok walking around and generally doing nothing, I got my bus and boat to Koh Phangan the following afternoon around 1pm, 4 hours after I was due to arrive! Since I didn't know where the others were and we'd made a plan to meet later that evening, I had a stroll down the beach and a beer or more. The place is a bit like Vang Vieng (Laos) wherein everywhere there are many - mostly naked - people running about drinking and every restaurant/bar is playing either Family Guy, Friends, or The Simpsons. That evening was Pre-Full Moon and it turned out to be incredible. There were some 15,000 people on the beach in preparation for one of the worlds biggest raves. I had an excellent night though drank far too much.
Hence the following day I was very hungover. I consolidated this by eating a big greasy fry-up and spending the day watching the above programs. That evening was the actual Full Moon party, and although I was still feeling pretty rough I stayed out playing drinking games until 12am and stayed at the beach until 3am. However, as soon as I got back to the room, I fell fast asleep! The party was incredible, and I am very glad I came down for it.
The next day I was lucky not to be feeling ill at all, so Me, Briony and Annie got a taxi-boat along the island to a secluded beach to do some snorkeling. It was great fun and really nice to get off the Haad Rin beach since after a week of party's it got kinda scummy. After a few hours a storm started to kick up, so out boat driver took us back over to Haad Rin. It was a cool way to spend an afternoon, and nice since it was so quiet too. We got the bus back last night and arrived this morning around 6am. I've caught a few hours sleep and I am now sorting out some accommodation for Brisbane.
Tomorrow we fly to Kuala Lumpar and then change a few hours later to arrive at the Gold Coast the following morning. I am really, really excited to get to Australia now. Looking for work may be difficult, but I'm hoping for a speedy solution.
So next time I blog, I'll be in Australia!!! Speak soon. x
