Where I stayed

Drop In Club Resort & Spa Ko Phangan

Flag of Thailand Koh Samui, Thailand
Wednesday, November 24, 2004

Waking up there was amazing. it was hot and we quickly dressed in shorts and a singlet and went off to the resturaunt for breakfast. There was a buffet breaky and the resturaunt was situated right on the beach, next to the restuaraunt's pool, so much so as that you could jump over the edge and land in the ocean. We ate and did a minor exploration of Samui, and then headed by taxi to Big Buddha Pier where we could get the boat to Koh Phangan. It cost about 200baht, about $6, and took about fourty five minutes.
We were headed to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party, and had heard that it can get pretty packed out, so we pre booked at the "Drop In Club", and fantastic group of Thai style buildings formed around an excellent free form pool, fringed with frangapanis. When we arrived it was even more than what we expected, and we stayed for five days, even though it was quite expensive. Koh Phangan turned out to be our favourite place in Thailand, we loved its laid back atmosphere and the fact that while seven to ten thousand people pack onto it once a month for the party, you can be sure a few days after that it will be completely deserted. it is also quite cheap in relation to Phi Phi and a few other islands. Thereis so much to expore and my peice of advise is to hire a scooter to do this. From the moment we hired one, we never went without one on Koh Phangan.
