Full MOOOONNNN

Hellloooo,

well its been ages since i have written on here, tom and I have been so bust we really havent wanted to sit in an internet cafe for much longer than 10 minutes. Anyways this is going to be a pretty long post I guess so hopefully I will be able to fill everyone in.
Tom and I left Bangkok on the 14th and we arrived in Koh Phangan Island on the 15th... for 20$ we took an 15 hour air conditioned bus ride with seats that full reclined... not too shabby.
Koh PhanGan in the Island where the legendary Full Moon Parites happen, and we planned to be on the island for that, it happened to fall on the 20th of April, so we made it. The first two nights though we headed up north on the island and went to a more deserted beach... AMAZING gorgeous white sand and the calmest ocean water ever. for just over $10 a night we got a really nice bungalow about 2 seconds from the beach. It was amazing. We hung out there and it turned out there were 200 germans on the same beach as us so everynight it turned into quite a party.
After two night we headed down to Haad Rin Beach where the full moon parties are, and its basically a westerners party place. There are so many restaurants and salons and bars... its pretty crazy. WE looked around and basically everywhere was charging like $20-$30 collars a night becuase of the jacked prices for the full moon party. Luckily, just when we were going to head back up to the north of the Island we found a nice bungalow ith bathroom for only 400B or about $14. We stayed there for five night and hung out waiting for the Full Moon. We met a bunch of Canadians and partied hard. We predrank at the 7-11( they are everywhere) and then went to various pre-full moon parties.
The craziest one that we went to was the Cross Dressing Pool Party... a hilarious, and slightly frightening sight.
The actual full moon party was crazy... basically a ton of people soooo messed on e, mdma, and various other substances or the ones like us, really really drunk from the "buckets"that they give. $5 for a 26 of rum, coke and redbull. We partied hard till 4am and then headed to bed... an early night for the fullmoon! Some of the people we were with were up till 3pm the next day. We stayed one more night and then decided to go back to bangkok. WE took another longggg busride and then got to Bangkok at 6am with no idea where to go next!!
Anyways that was Thailand... next place, CAMBODIA!
