Chiang Mai really was a magical place, the weekend markets were brilliant and we managed to get involved in another kings birthday.
But the full Moon party was calling so we booked our selves onto a night train to Bangkok and started a 43 hour journey down to the Thailand Islands. This consisted of two night trains, a coach and a boat! A tiring experience that saw us not change for three days... we got used to the smell after a while!
Koh Phangan was an interesting experience, we decided to head over for the Full Moon party as we'd met so many people that were going and thought as we're here why not?
We stayed about 20 mins drive away from Had Rin (which looked like Malia), where the party takes place, in a really nice bungalow resort with our own private beach, perfect!
The party itself was insane! We rocked up not really knowing what to expect. The beach was great fun filled with bars offering various types of entertainment but the main theme being fire! Lots of people with twirling sticks on fire and the main but scary thing was a massive skipping rope on fire for the public to jump! As you can probably imagine we gave this one a miss - well I nearly went in but a bloke before me fell on his face on the rope - ouch!
The night was a great laugh filled with buckets and dancing, we bumped into a group of lads who were staying in our resort who turned out to be a good laugh. We also saw the lunar eclipse, well we didn't know what it was until the morning but the moon looked awesome!
Whilst Steph and I were taking full advantage of the ultra violet paint we met a group of lads who turned out to be dive instructors on Koh Tao (our next stop) and gave us some advice for when we get there!
Next stop - the sea!
