Koh Phangan - Full Moon Party

Full moon party day is upon us and boy is it going to be messy! We had a pretty lazy day and headed to the full moon party around 11 o'clock but not before getting painted up and polishing off a Whiskey bucket at our resort. We headed to the other side of the island to Haad Rin and a short while later we were among whiskey bucket vendors as far as the eye could see, burning skipping ropes and awful dance "choons".. I wasn't braving the burning skipping rope or fire hoop after the tubing incident, so I sat it out and supped my bucket instead :) , everyone seemed to watch in anticipation for someone to injure them selves, we saw countless people get the burning rope in the head and other places, including the rope wrapped around one guys leg...ouch!.

Watch the beautiful full moon shine over a crowd of people pissing in the sea, I'm surprised the ocean isn't yellow today! Got myself a bite to eat, some fried chicken as could as the stuff you get coming home from a match in Croker.

We got home in the wee hours of the morning with a few taxi changeovers and other messing, the police shined a torch in the back of the tuk tuk, obviously looking for someone with drugs to get some extortion money, their time might be better spent on the beach where I was offered drugs about a hundred times! The full moon party is good craic, the music however was the spoiler of the night for me (Father Ted comes to mind: "It sounds like somebody drilling the wall"), I expected at least one place to pump out some Reggae music or something different, but sadly I couldn't find one :( .
