We stayed on Koh Phangan for only 3 nights, but two of them were two of the craziest nights of my life! The first night, there was the jungle party, which was a warm up party for the full moon party. It was a lovely venue, hidden away in the trees, with nice stages and a variety of music. I met up with Charlie an some of his mates from home; Sleeve, Alex and Raf. They were nice guys and we had a really good time. Me, Charlie and Vicky even managed to get into the VIP area, I am not quite sure how, but I think Vicky was pretending to be really upset that we were not allowed in, then the bouncer let us in.
It was an amazing party, and I took it a bit easier than I might have done otherwise, if it wasn't for the Full Moon Party the next day.
I woke up mid afternoon the next day and got some food, I was so tired and could not comprehend going out again. I had to man up and do it, how could I not go to one of the worlds biggest parties?
I went for a swim in the pool, and felt much better. The sea was not so pleasant, it was a bit to warm and felt a bit slimy. I think I would have preferred to swim in Morecambe bay than in that sea.
We started drinking at about 9pm, with a taxi booked at 12.30. We didn't want to drink to much beforehand as most of us were eager to make it till at least sunrise. We had forgotten to buy some UV paint, so we had to go round asking people for some. We ended up just borrowing a few different colours from the guy next door. I had seen a few people had bought full moon party vests, but I went one step further and made my own and cut the words into my vest.

After putting all of our paints on and drinking quite a bit, we hopped into the taxi and made our way to the beach, singing at the top of our voices all the way.
We got to the beach and it was phenomenal, 2km of beach, 30, 000 people and a lot of different bars, as well as many stands selling alcohol. I found Charlie and his friends and we went off, going to different bars, drinking and dancing all night long. There were a few times when we lost someone and spent a while looking for them. David was hilarious, I only saw him a couple of times, but when I did, he was totally off his head.
It was a lot of fun and a few of us made it till about 9 o'clock, sunrise was nice, as we were all still rather drunk, just sat on the sand looking out over the horizon. However, the sun revealed the damage that had been done to the beach, and the people occupying it, it looked as if a bomb had gone off in a flip flop factory. There were hundreds of flip flops, and that was just in the area we were in, and there were a fair few people passed out in the sand. There were a couple of us and we were a little bored, so we started by burying the unconscious, not deeply, just enough to keep them warm. And when they had all arisen, we played flip flop frisbee, which ended up into a flip flop fight, where we were just throwing flip flops a each other. There were quite a few people who joined in, so when you threw one, you would ge
And that was the end of it, we finished by getting a bus back to Charlie's accommodation and going for a nice swim to sober up, before returning to my accommodation to sleep off the hangover.
Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI can't really be bothered to correct you anymore. It's just so much work. But I do have to say, when you said you were burying the unconscious in the ground i thought you meant you were digging a grave for them. I was thinking that they're unconscious not dead, no need to kill them by burying them alive. But then I read on and it turned out okay.
