Friday Flashback – Partying on Koh Phangan

I arrived on Koh Phangan's infamous full moon party beach a week early to secure a bungalow.  Mission accomplished, however nobody warned me that every night on the beach is party night. And by party night, I mean massive bar sound systems booming psychedelic trance until the sun comes up each morning.

My party skills were tested like never before, and I met the challenge head-on!

    Yeah, when we were in the Gulf Islands my party skills were severely outclassed by an Irish couple and some Aussies. I'm a bit of a light weight.

    Thanks for making me remember Thailand!
