Full Moon = Crazy Thailand

Well we finally made it to Koh Phangan after one missed flight in Penang (not our fault) and extra night in Malaysia (thanks KY) and a brief stop in Bangkok (thanks Bangkok Air!) and expensive speed boat ride from Koh Samui. But, alas, it was totally worth it. I felt like I was a crazy college kid again, at least on the inside. Even though we were not the sexiest things on the beach we know how to shake our thing and hold our liquor. Things that can only come with age. We also managed to keep our flip flops on all night, a rarity it appeared. But I'm getting ahead of myself...The party of a lifetime begins at sundown and goes well into the next day...they were still getting down around 10am! The drink of choice is served in a bucket (picture the colorful ones you used to play with on the beach) add one pint booze, one can mixer and a shot of red bull and enjoy! Drink quick...it doesn't taste good warm. The whole of the small beach is lined with speakers blaring techno, bucket stands, and neon body paint stations. And everyone is wearing neon body paint...some people ONLY neon body paint. It is pure chaos...fire throwing, flames, laterns up to the sky....my goodness was it great. And literally hundreds of people just going crazy (literally...I'm very sure that more than 1 visited the "mushroom hut" on the hill). And judging from the aftermath we found in the morning, many people were missing shoes, wallets, luggage, etc. And this was day 1.....We stayed on Koh Phangan 4 nights, and everynight there was a party at one resort or another. Our days were filled eating, drinking, watching conterfeit movies at restaurants (the Hulk wasn't bad), and laying on the beach. Sounds terrible, huh? Oh, woe is me it was awful....awful leaving.
