Koh Phangan continued

Koh Phangan continued...

So Grieve, Walmo and I ended up chilling out in the bungalow for a while, before the group decided to make a decision (!) and go somewhere a bit more tourist friendly. So we got another water taxi back to Hat Rin, the first beach we had come to on our arrival to Koh Phangan. Here we were instantly mobbed by a group of people trying to get us to come to a resort a bit further from the beach. The free taxi there and promise of "The Original Pool Party" that night sold it to us, and while we were unsure if it would be anything like the photos they had been waving around, on arrival we weren't dissappointed. In the "Coral Resort" we had our own room with air con and ample chill area, and while I had to share a double bed with Walmsley, its not like we weren't used to it... Anyway, we got the chance to sort our bags and re-charge cameras etc, before going to get dinner by the beach in the resort. However, tiredness had hit the group, and after a beer at dinner we went back to the room to get ready for the party, only to fall asleep. So psyched were we by the thought of a pool party, we ended up sleep until nearly 2am. Lucky for us the party was still in full swing, and being the "lads" that we were, decided to go anyway. After being there for a few hours, we hit the room again, remarking how while it had been fun, getting there before 2 am would have made it slightly better. We got up in the morning refreshed, intent on making the most of the Black Moon Party tonight. We did some more chilling (and as remarked by a certain Easy we had now got this to a fine art), before heading into town to have a look at a few shops and get some money. With little success, we played some cards in a cafe, before coming back to the resort, and hitting the internet. Our future plans include the party tonight, and as it is the start of Chinese New Year (14th to the 17th of Feb) should be pretty sweet. We then may stay here an extra night before returning to Hat Yun for a night or so. Soon to move on to Bangkok.
