Flag of Thailand  , Ko Phangan,
Saturday, March 22, 2008

Our attempt to get to Ko phangan in one day backfired after we had a fall out with a man at the bus stop in Krabi who was trying to rip us off! To be fair, we don't really trust many people trying to help us these days, we have learned to very sceptical of peoples intentions, so when the guy told me we'd miss the last bus and it was only four i stormed off in a huff and declined his offer of a ridiculously expensive minibus. 5 minutes later and it turns out he was right, so we sent the boys back to negotiate but when he saw me the price went up and he wanted the money upfront before the van. Women's intuition kicked in with me and Charlie not wanting to part with the money and a little bickering started and finally we gave in. A swanky bus with massive leather seats rolled up and we were well excited - it was like luxury for us!!! That is until the guy said all 4 of us had to squeeze in the back seat - not going to happen( especially since we had paid for four seats) So, we took on a united front, the guy got mad and we had to spend yet another night in crappy Krabi!!!!
We finally got to Ko Phangan the night before full moon and we stayed with 'big mamma' a huge Thai lady who was really nice but gave off a very dodgy vibe!!
The night of the full moon was awesome, we drank many a bucket of Mojitos and Tom ,who was on antibiotics got ridiculously hammered and we used our entire camera battery filming his sorry attempts at break dancing 7657
7657
 . Darren left his shoes somewhere, Tom then danced with a lady-boy until we rescued him and it was, in all, a mental night. There were thousands of people there and we were lucky to find Kyle and Amanda in the crowd, but not lucky enough to lose the weirdos who had tagged along with us from 'Big mommas', two of the strangest guys we have ever met who were the bain of our lives for a couple of days after!
We moved to a really nice beach in the north of the island with a pool for kyle and Amandas final days and for Toms birthday where another crazy night was had, which ended in some skinny dipping and the boys skipping naked into the sea holding hands. Quality, although Tom wouldn't put his clothes back on so Charlie had to chase hi mall over the beach waving his shorts at him. Then we annoyed the Canadians by pretending we were ghosts and knocking on their bungalow and generally being retards!
Then we left Tom and Charlie to explore further and the rest of us headed to Bangkok for a final shopping spree!!
