The success of the Jungle Party was paid for with a late start to the day. Pad Thai and mango smoothies at a local restaurant rejuvenated us. After the meal we hopped on our motorbikes and rode off with no destination in mind. Several uneducated turns later we found ourselves at a beach with white sand and a breathtaking view.
Luck played no part in this. It’s difficult not to stumble into places like this in Thailand.
We drove away from the beach knowing there would be more chance encounters with similar places.
Once we returned to the hotel we began the Prefull Moon Party ritual with a nap. After awakening we donned the traditional neon body pain and drank from the ceremonial bucket. When the moon peaked upon the night sky we were ready.
It’s difficult for me to find the words to describe the full moon party. But the 10 second video below can be used to extrapolate the rest of the night.
We watched most of the madness from the sideline. The past 3 days of travel has really taken its toll. From Koh Phangan we leave for the island of Koh Samui. A more relaxed island lacking fire limboing travelers.
How many of you lost eyebrows to the flaming limbo bar ??> :-}
