Koh Phangan


Sunday 5th Feb - Scariest boat journey EVER
So we chilled for the morning and got the 3pm boat over to Koh Phangan ready for the Full Moon Party on the 7th! It had been quite stormy and rainy so the boat was so scary - Emily was freaking out big time but it was pretty scary we were looking for escape routes just incase we went under haha! We came with our adopted Canadian brother Justin who walked like a penguin all day as he was very sunburnt - Karma for laughing at my burns i think! 
Anyway me, em and Justin finally made it to Had Rin in Koh Phangan - the town where the full moon party is held! Luckily me and emily booked 2 days ago and found quite a cheap room to stay as there was NOTHING left here and whatever was left was ridiculously expensive. Justin was looking round for ages but eventually found somewhere! It is crazy here already with everyone warming up for Tuesday night! Its very different to Koh Tao and much more tackier! 
We bumped into our friends from Koh Tao, Saba and her 2 lovely cousins - Arman my future husband and also the Gecko Exterminator and i planned to go to the jungle party with them in the night! Off we went with our buckets and had an amazing night, we ended up back at the bars on the beach and partied until about 7am! Oops! Me and Saba were standing in the sea for sunrise - It was so pretty!


Monday 6th February
Today i woke up with a stinking hangover but decided to get up and not stay in bed all day - even though i only slept 2 hours! We spent the afternoon by the beach and then went to Thongsala to see the shops and markets! Theres no way i can drink tonight so having a night off to prepare myself for tomorrow night - THE FULL MOON PARTY WOOO!


Tuesday 7th February
Full Moon Party day - i have never been anywhere so crazy in my life! People everywhere! Unfortunately we could not find our thailand family so me Emily and Julie drank our buckets and got on with our night. Unfortunately for poor Julie, she ended up standing on a sea urchin and went for a swim with her bag on and broke her phone and camera - oops! She was not a fan of Full Moon haha! 





Wednesday 8th February
This was my final day in Koh Phangan, i was not really a fan. Its pretty much Thailands version of Magaluf and the chavs of every country of the world gather onto one beach for one night. I definitely did not have the best time here, and was feeling abit down especially with hearing  some bad news from home on my last night. 
I wanted to go somewhere nice so decided to head back to Koh Tao for a few days to chill out and relax!
