More on Koh Phangan

So I've decided to write this blog as well, seeing as the beach party last night (15th) was bypassed by Walmo. Not too much to report in this part of our journey, being pretty happy with our current location on the island we have just stayed at the same bungalows for the last couple of days. The Black Moon Party on the night of the 14th turned out to be what we expected- awesome! Meeting many other people at the resort pre-party planning the same night at us, it wasn't long before the night was in full swing, beers and buckets in plentiful supply. Luminous paint seemed a favorite at the pre-party, and it wasn't long before Grieve had hand prints on his guns, and Walmo had fake abs painted on his stomach. Although the paint glowed in the dark, what seemed a brilliant idea on the night turned out to be a nightmare to wash out off the next day... Still, a quailty night, however getting locked out of the room from about 6am until 7-30am because the key was still at the beach with Walmo wasn't the best fun (apart from the mosquitoes who were having a whale of a time).
After having a minimal amount of sleep, we ate breakfast, before Walmo and Grieve hit bed once again-obviously not true ravers. After sleeping until about 10pm, I decided I was too bored to let anyone rest more, and reminded them we had a beach party to get to. Grieve was game, sadly tiredness got the better of Walmsley and he stayed in bed. We then had a few drinks in the bar with guy we met from Ireland, and also one of the resort staff who informed us in detail and over about an hour of his many female exploits from the resort...awkward. Another good night ensued, with various challanges set up by the beach staff such as shooting a volley ball through a net to win drinks (even with our insane basketball skills we were all useless) and jumping through a hoop of fire. Tiredness set in, and I walked back to the resort leaving Grieve and our new mate from Ireland (Owen) to party some more. Today was a bit of a write off in the morning, however we decided to actually do something, hitting town to find some flip flops as well as going to the west of the island to check out a awesome beach, with picturesque tropical island scenery. After more chilling, we decided that after tonight we wanted to get check out west Thailand before going onto Bangkok, as although chilling is fun we all almost preferred travelling around a lot. Maybe go snorcalling tomorrow, then hopefully to west Thailand to see some more awesome beaches.
