Koh Phan YAY YA

I left Koh Pha Ngan (from now on KPN) with the following (bulleted for your enjoyment):

• A wicked tan
• A pair of mismatched flip flops
• A minor burn
• Lower backpain
• WAY less brain cells then i went there with
• and MOST IMPORTANTLY over a dozen new awesome friends

It all started when I left Koh Samui. I liked it there, it was beautiful but I found it a little lackluster and expensive. It also was WAAAAAAAY too hard to meet people. I spent basically the three days there by myself which was nice, i got to chill and work on the old tan but i'm too social to do that for too long. So on my third day I packed up my stuff, said an un-heartfelt good bye to the shockingly obese german man that ran the place and got on the bus to KPN.

I met Ryan and Hannah as soon as i pulled out of the resort, who were staying there and we never ran into eachother and we started to chat it up. We pulled up to KPN and the hotel they were staying in was full so they got shipped off to their sisters (at the time we were kind of like WTF ) which is really fortunate because then we met Tim, Sam, Amy, Joe and Arie and Colin (some time in there Jeff popped in too but i don't really remember meeting him...

On one of the first nights there it was the "black moon party" and everyone was pretty stoked to go but when we rolled up they wanted 300 baht each. We were like F that noise and went and had our own black moon party which was way more fun anyway.

We also did a grandiose tour of the island in the back of a pickup (12 people i think were crammed in the box) which would never fly in N. America but its no big deal in Thailand (don't worry we drove really carefully ) and we finished by watching the sunset at the Amsterdam bar which overlooks the sea.

The next night was our last one and the festivities went all day and into the early early morning. There was a lot of booty shorts, pool parties, fire hoops/limbos and WAAAAAY too many buckets.

All in all it was fantastic and I can't wait to see all those guys again soon.

Now i'm in Bangkok again and today I got my visa to India and I will be heading over there as soon as my passport gets back.

A WORD TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

It is natural to worry about someone when they are away but please shower me with worry-wort comments. They do no one anygood (and as some of my hippy friends would say, manifest bad things happening). I can handle myself perfectly well and I feel very comfortable out in the world. I am fully prepared (i have every ointment, pill and cream under the sun) and have done tons of research so i don't want to hear any negativity from anyone, just well wishing. I know what i'm doing...

That being said I love you all and hope this blog finds its readers well.

Take care!!!!
