    Full moon party!

    April 21, 2016 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 30 °C

    Today we got up fresh and hired mopeds to explore the island. Danny didn't get a helmet when he hired his so got pulled over by the police and fined 400baht... my mum will be pleased to know I wore mine! We all went shopping and bought ourselves t-shirts for the full moon party later on.

    We headed back to the apartment with some drinks to relax and get ready for the night.

    We were picked up to go to the full moon party... It was a full moon of course! Went down to the boats and caught a speedboat across to Koh Phangan where the party is held. When we got there there was food, drinks (buckets of booze) and body painters everywhere. Everyone were dressed in bright clothes and in such a good mood! We walked across the island to the beach where the madness began! Walking down the beach there were people skipping and playing limbo with fire... The lads of course joined in getting themselves burnt! Got myself a bucket of gin and tonic, we found a quieter spot where we could dance and be in the group without being pushed left right and centre! It was so hot and sweaty so water was being thrown everywhere too lol

    So many people were smashed really quickly (you'll be pleased to know I paced myself!) Danny in our group had a few to many so we had to catch the speedboat back earlier than I wanted to.. but we left as a group! The queue for the speedboat was horrific, we was all crammed into this tunnel thing for around an hour.. then when we got back to our island the taxi wouldn't take us back so we had a mammoth trek up the steep hill our apartment is based on!

    All in all it was an amazing experience! !
