Friday, July 14, 2006

The full moon party of Ko Phan Ngan has every right to be known as the biggest beach party in SE Asia, maybe even the world. Absolute belter of a night.

Started off with a few beers back at the resort and at 10ish (pm) then loading 15 people into the back tray of the taxi ute for the hour drive along the 30 degree plus inclines and declines to Haad Rin. 15 000 people awaited us on the beach with a kilometer of beach front bars belting out tunes of all sorts. Everyone has a bucket - 1L plastic buckets which are filled with a half bottle of dodgy Thai whiskey, a bottle of the lethal Thai red bull and a dash of coke. It doesnt tkae many to get (2 at most) to get the night swinging.

Danced my ass off for a few hours having a good laugh with John and Claire then we decided to wonder up to the 'quieter' end of the beach and check out the bar on the hill, appropriately named the mushroom palace

'The Poo Waitress' - Why?????

. Their specialty was 'special shakes' and that was when the night got funny. The pact was made at the starty of the night to have maybe one of these 'special shakes' but no more - which is how it started. After a quick return to the pumping beach littered but this time (4am'ish) with people passed out. In all honesty it was a bit of a meat market, so the logical step - more special shakes!!! Three special shakes later and the world was a different place, I was convinved I now had wide angle vision. Chatted with a bunch of Irish Lasses as we watched the sun come up over a still pumping beach.

Come 10am, although there had to have been still 5000 (very messy) people still on the beach it was time for an hour taxi home - would have been nice if the bloke didnt drop the three of us 15km from our bungalows! Dont worry mum hitch hiking in Thailand is safe.

Mate lovin the blogs. Keep it up. Looking forward to hearing how the full moon party was. Been bloody busy trying to get things ready to go. Had our house cleaned by a little hottie raver the other day who is heading to Thailand in a couple of months to go to a full moon party. You would of loved her. Poor chick nearly died when she saw our bathroom. Think she nearly got high from the anti-mould spray we had to use. Anyway mate better run.
