Tea House in Haad Bo Phut
We found this great Thai-German Teahouse in Fisherman's Village with an amazing view.Koh Pha Ngan is a beautiful island. Probably our favorite. The food is cheap, the shops were some of the best that we saw in Thailand, and there's a party every night. The bungalow that we were able to snag was a cut above, with a unrivaled view, and a swanky cliff-top pool a short walk up the hill. We spent most of our time shopping, eating, sunbathing, and people watching.
Which brings us to the only negative aspect of Koh Pha Ngan. It being a "backpacker's paradise", it tends to attract certain groups of people. And apparently due to the timing of our trip, the group of people that we were surrounded by made Koh Pha Ngan seem like a tropical isle off the coast of Britain. Yep, 95%!o(MISSING)f the numerous travelers on Koh Pha Ngan were English late-teen early twenty somethings ready for a post university "rager". (Apparently Bristish Universities just started summer break) Just imagine the sight of an entire beach covered in charred red bodies, the sweet sounds of cockney accents, and the smells of alcohol rather than sweat evaporating from skin. Don't get us wrong, it wasn't that bad,
but it did taint the exotic island vibe a bit.
The Full Moon Party was a mixture of the Burning Man festival and Vegas, on a beach. Pretty crazy.
We're off to India and we're staying in an ashram/yoga retreat in Kerala. Here are some more pictures. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and write soon.
