Day 94: Koh Pha-ngan

We started off the day by heading to find some breakfast. On our drive I spotted an open lot with a view of the ocean. The beach is so amazingly beautiful; I kept saying that. Everything that I was expecting an amazing Thai beach to be is right here. Islands out in the distance, shallow calm waters hiding sand bars and coral, and an empty beach full of beautiful palm trees with groups of bungalows sprinkled down the coast. I instantly stripped down to my boxers and dove in. It was quite a euphoric moment.

After breakfast, we returned to that lot and hung out on the sand bars for most of the afternoon. We didn't do anything, just laid on the sand bar with the ever so gentle waves rippling up our bodies like a slight electric shock. Talk about where would you want to live? give me a bungalow on this beach and I will die a happy man.

Since tonight is the Full Moon party, we decided to drive down to the beach where the party is to scope out our next amazing night. We grabbed some lunch right on the beach. This beach was full of tourist; the ocean was riddled with jet skis and the beach polluted with frisbees. While this beach is nice and fun, I much prefer our relaxing spot. This beach got us really excited for this night to come, they were already setting up two large stages and stockpiling the alcohol; a recipe for a good time.

We eventually met up with two of Pichai's friends that he had made a couple days ago. We sat down for dinner close to where we ate the night before and started our night. It was great to sit down with three British people and here the differences in the way we talk. Even things as small as the different ways we say 'garage' are amusing. After dinner we made our way to the beach for the Full Moon party. It was great to see how messed up everyone was, whether it was from too much alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two. One guy was rolling around on the beach with a table in his hands. It was amusing to see, but he is probably laying in a gutter somewhere now. They even had sleeping areas on the beach so people could sleep away everything that they have ingested.

Good music, great people, and a full moon.
