Koh Pangan - Full Moon Party

As Bec said we arrived on Koh Samui on Monday night and found out that the full moon party on nearby island Koh Pangan was on Weds. Good timing as always, as we thought we'd missed it after seeing what we'd presumed was the full moon on the ferry crossing from mainland Thailand to Koh Samui (bottom pic)

The party atmosphere was what you'd expect really - youngsters happy from drink or drugs and throbbing dance music akin to the acid scene of the late 80s (although Bec tells me it didn't hit Northwich 'til the early 90s!). We had a few drinks, took in the some of the "chill out" tunes and despite my initial misgivings enjoyed ourselves before getting a speed boat back to Koh Samui. The sea was really choppy but Bec was cackling like a witch as the boat bounced bone crushlingly on and over the waves.

We're not doing much here at all apart from relaxing on the beach and reading a lot. Yes, we're having a holiday!!
