Further diaries of a beach bum.
After our 4 days in Koh Samui we headed to the island directly north - Koh Phangan. We weren't quite sure what to expect when we travelled to Koh Phangan as it is most famous for it's full moon party when thousands of people descend on the island for one ...
What a Birthday Present!
... has an amazing view. Justin (from Indo and Malaysia) will meet up with us today as he's been doing a scuba course on neighboring Ko Tao, so later I head down to the beach and chat with the English girls from the Perhentians and hook up with Justin and he ...

Ferry to Koh Pha-Ngan
Ferry stopped at beautiful Koh Samui before arriving Koh Pha-Ngan. This tiny island is almost exclusively open to scuba divers "in the know" from what I was told during peak months. Luckily we had met Dennis who led us to this treasure of an island. ...
Ko Phangan and Ko Tao
... Nok (Sunrise Beach) is the site of the monthly Full Moon Party which attracts thousands of people from around the world. Ko Phangan is smaller and less developed than Samui, and is very popular with the backpacker/young crowd. ...
Full moon madness.
Sam: Well i thought i was not easily shocked but my god the full moon party was something else! There was 10,000 people there on one beach with many many bars. We were drinking buckets, the same size you build sandcastles with full of a whole bottle of ...
Doin' the yoga...
So, I made it to Had Tien. What a beautiful bay! Isolated from the full moon party madness (as there is actually a "full moon" party every weekend...) of Had Rin. The Sanctuary is a lovely resort (and by resort I mean they have accommodations that ...
Motorcycles, Snorkeling and Black Moon Party
... us to seem some glow in the dark algae! It was another amazing day that I'll never forget. From Ao nang we caught a bus and ferry to Ko Phangan. Well, actually we woke up late, missed the bus and had to race in a taxi to beat the bus to its next stop off! ...
Spiraling in to madness...
Woke up this morning around 6am, met a friend of mine about 7am and took a crazy boat ride to an even crazier scene: the after party (more aftermath really) for the Full Moon party. What a depressing scene, amazing and disgusting and beautiful at ...
Stairway to heaven
Nigel: We wanted to go to Koh Phangnan so that we had been to all 3 main islands on the East coast of Thailand. We tried to get to the island earlier but booking accommodation was a problem due to the famous full moon party that takes place there every ...

... ; doing nothing takes up sooooo much time. Right, so, it took us 2 days to get to our next destination, Thailand's Southern islands. We got chastised at the airport in Bali for 'irresponsible booking', because we only gave ourselves less than 2 ...
Beautiful people everywhere
... with your brother who has recently decided that he wants to be a woman. Speaking of men who want to be women, Thailand is filled with 'ladyboys'. Buddhism is founded on the belief that we have many lives to live and it's completely reasonable that a ...
From Turtle to Sandbank
Koh Tao (Turtle Island) has its place: a 500 km stepping stone, across the Gulf of Thailand, away from the smog and chaos of Krung Thep. This is my third visit in 18 years and Koh Tao is still worth a 2-3 day stoppover, no more. That is, of ...
Into Thailand, Land of Thais
A 12hr journey takes us from Penang island, up into Thailand, via Hat Yai and Surat Thani, to a great overnight ferry (which initially had us really worried as the boat was so tiny and because raw vegetables were strewn aboard the front end of ...

Full Moon party
I had a nice sleep actually...I slept until 2 in the afternoon. I played a little volleyball, read, and then went for a seafood dinner on a floating restaurant and had crab. It was very fresh and tasty, but not worth the effort it took to get the damn ...

Loving The Weather

The International Convention of Bro's
... we were surrounded by thousands of partiers. I could only imagine how many deaths would occur if "Four Loco" was available in Thailand. We didn’t do much of a job representing the U.S., but if nothing less, the people watching was fantastic as ...
