Hello everyone,

Well we made it to Ko Phangan after a very wet exit from Ko Tao across a very choppy sea which was not helped with the changover from the tattoo night! Needless to say I spent the whole journey with my head over the railings!

We are staying a lovely hotel which is probably way over our budget but still a bargin by home standards, we wanted to get something booked before we arrived as we were coming for the Full Moon Party. It is really nice and we have 2 pools! All we have done really is lay by the pool non stop as the sun came back in full force after its holiday when we were in Ko Tao. Been so lazy its great because this is our last relaxing as such because we will be on the go non stop in Cambodia and Vietnam then we are home....!So as usual we have eaten lots and drank far too much Chang and sunbathed so much that Martyn is now peeling and shedding his skin like a snake! Im just praying I can avoid the same fate!!

So the Full Moon Party, this party has

Us before all the craziness started....
dictated the whole of our travel plans in Asia and we have been very excited about it. It did not disapoint us, it was crazy. A big long beach full of 10,000 people covered in glow in the dark paint, glasses, necklaces, bracelets, carrying buckets full of Samsong it was an amazing sight. Different loud music coming out of all the bars right the way along, people dancing everywhere they could find a space and people in the water.
So we drank buckets, danced like crazy, spoke to random people, got a Scotland flag painted on our faces (although it looks a bit like the Swedish flag!), spent a fortune on glow in the dark accessories and flower necklaces and had the best night ever, so glad we were here and it was the perfect end to Thailand.

We came to Bangkok last night and straight away headed out for our last few buckets and ventured to a 'ping pong' show, I will say no more but my eyes have been opened! We have spent a fortune at the markets today and have pirate DVD's etc coming out of our ears! We are getting the bus to Seim Reap
