The day we found out what 'No Name' was...

We got back to Greenpeace at around 6am so our bed was calling us and we slept till around midday. I was starving when I woke up and desperately needed some comfort food, so I ordered a Chicken Kiev. It would have been awesome if I hadn't waited an hour for it to turn up. Mike said, "It take long time to fry!" as I kept looking over at him every …

Day 15 - Post-Party Reflection

We wake from sleep, the room already lit with the new day's sun. Our minds still processing the experiences of the past few days. Our movements are slow and deliberate. Purposeful and premeditated. After grabbing some food down the road at a local restaurant, we decide to spend the rest of our day lounging on the beach and recuperating from our …

Dancing in the (Full) Moonlight

Koh Pha Ngan is known among backpackers as a party island as every month it hosts the infamous Full Moon Party on Haad Rin beach. We were no different from the hoards of other people on our boat heading over the night before July's party session - it was absolutely packed and when we arrived at the pier there were hundreds of people trying to …

We arrived at the ferry terminal around 3 and we got picked up by the guy from the hotel in his pick up which a few of the lads had to ride in the back of with the luggage.

Ko phan gan, full moon to new years!

Crikey, well when i first rolled up, tired as hell from an overnight bus from the southern terminal in bangkok, to be sheparded onto a ferry that lurched its way over to the island itself, the island seemed like less than bliss. Id spent the entire night trying to look at the moon as the bus weaved its way up and around and down the major highway, …

Thailand Part 2

D-Day +4

Koh Pha Ngan is the notorious party beach Island of Thaliand and the appartments were pimpy as hell. Travelling in a squad of about 15, of which every one splits into smaller group and I just hop between them all. Really like the island and although It has just started monsoon season the weather is bliss. Just chilled out there …

To Much Partying!!

Koh Panyang is an island meant for partying. We arrived 3 days early for the Full Moon Party on Hat Rin beach. This is widely considered one of the top 5 parties in the world. We arrived early to secure a bungalow within walking distance of the beach. We traveled down the first day to inspect the bars that were throwing the beach party. It roughly …

Koh Phangan

The island know for its fullmoon party. We spent a week here. We found ourselves a decent bungalow with a nice pool close but not too close to Had Rin Nok beach. Spent most of our days sunbathing and chilling out. In the evening we went down to the beach to the warm up partys sampling some of the 'delicious' buckets. Mairin and co were also over …
