Koh Pangnan

Tom, Ben and I went to a half moon party on an island off the south east coast of thailand called koh pangnan. We were staying in the coco bungalows just outside a small town Haadrin. The bungalows themselves were air conditioned with a bed that tom and i were sharing which is the biggest and most comfortable bed i think i've ever slept in.we were staying about 25 feet from a nice beach where the water is crystal blue. The complex has got a bar thats on the beach and a small cafe and tv area. The food is relatively in expensive and very nice. This place can be best described as paradise. The best thing is its all for £5.50 a night. The half moon party is about 15mins from where were staying and its in the middle of the jungle. Five of us went from our bungalows. Ben, Tom, Zulu, another Ben and myself. When we arrived we got in the queue which was really long. When we finally got into the party we got all uv paint up our arms and on our faces. Its basically a legal rave in the middle of the jungle. The type of music they play i'm not that keen on but when your drunk as a skunk it doesn't really matter. There's lots of small food shops and bars to get a few beers in. All of the people i have spoken to about the party said that the half moon is better than the full moon and black moon parties. We must have gotten back 2 the bungalow about 5 in the morning before getting into bed partied out and sobering up. When we awoke the next morning myself, Ben and Tom went for food in the bungalows before the boys turned up and persuaded us to rent mopeds and drive around the island. On the way around we saw elephants and monkeys on the back of motorbikes which was hilarious. The five of us visited a few beaches and went to the small town and beach area where the hold the full moon parties. We dropped the bikes back a day later without incident which was a relief because they cost loads to repair if you fall off.
