Last day down south

Ko Pha-ngan -island of the full moon party!

Island of the Full Moon
Well hello again, Koh Pha-ngan...I wish I had got here sooner (and stayed longer!). This island, like all Thai islands it seems, was beautiful. Though this one had something a little extra, it had the Full Moon Party! It gave the island a positive ...

Full moon party
After a visit to the worst boarder crossing on the planet (although the cigarettes were laughably cheap) we were back in Bangkok for a few days, where we ran in to the auzzies from Siam Reap... managed to convince them and a random holiday rep to abandon ...

New Years Eve Full Moon Party 2010
New Years Eve and the ensuing Full Moon Party on famous Ko Pha Ngan is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. So many elements were in place, akin to the planets being aligned: It was the start of a new decade, it was a full ...
Full Moon Party
After saying we don't want to go to the Full Moon Party (FMP) because with getting drunk with 8,000 people doesn't sound much like fun, the gravitational pull of the moon finally wore us down and we succumbed to the temptations of nocturnal ...

If Ko Samui is the Costa del Sol, then Ko Pha Ngan is Ibiza or Aiya Napa. Albeit with a pretty chilled backpacker twist. The average age of visitors must be sub 24 and 99% must be hell-bent on making full use of the island's beach bars and clubs. ...
Haad Yao -
... the island to a stretch of beach called, Haad Yao. This beach is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful on Koh Pha Ngan. It is a bit quieter than many others and popular with couples. We have found it to be absolutely WONDERFUL! Again we have ...

Kho Pha-Ngan
Just arrived in Kho Pha-Ngan. After a 14 hour bus trip that broke down twice and finished at 5:30 in the morning. Suprised I made it alive actually. It was doing about 150 K's, almost tipping over. Had to wait in some hole for a bus at 9 to take me to the ...

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Chilling out
We decided to take a risk and head for Bottle Beach even though we hadn't made it there to check it out. 2 sawngthaew rides and 1 boat later we arrive. The beach is bigger than the one from the previous day and it's busier but it's still nice ...
