So as I already told you, last weekend we all went to the famous Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan. Everyone takes their own mode of transport, depending on how much money and time they have. I personally choose to take the cheapest one because I'm running out of money here.... So anyway, I bought a combine train-ferry ticket for about 2100 baht round trip. The train will take you to Surat Thani station, and then you'll take a bus organized by the ferry company to the pier, and finally you'll go to Koh Phangan by a ferry. The overall journey was okay, you just can't expect anything fancy and super clean from a 2nd class in developing countries. But the train that take me back to Bangkok is having a terrible delay for 90 minutes, and since there is nothing around the station, I just sit there for about 5 hours.... And that's sucks. And I heard that the trains in Thailand is often late, so if you are tight in time, maybe it's better to choose other mode of transport. Some of my friends choose to get the bus-ferry ride, and they had to pay about 2500 baht for round trip. It's not bad at all remembering that the bus is way more faster than the train. And some of the others choose to take a flight (they still had to take the ferry though) and had to pay about 3500 baht for round trip. Any modes has their own advantages and disadvantages, just look at your current condition and choose one that's best for you!
I arrived in Koh Phangan on Wednesday, 8th October at around 16:00. Wednesday is the day of the Full Moon Party, so we just go somewhere to eat, shop some stuffs for the party, and then just chill and wait for the night to come. The party took place at Haad Rin beach, so we chose a hostel in a walking distance to the beach, so that everyone can go home safely even if they are drunk. At around 6 pm everyone starts preparing themselves and we paint our whole body with colorful paintings! This is how we look:
Around 8 pm we went out for dinner and after that we go straight to the party! The party is not as crazy as I thought (before coming here, I heard a lot of scary stories like people will put drugs in your drinks, or people will put roofies in your pocket, or people get stabbed with no reason) -- well, some of my friends searched a little about it and turns out that this Full Moon Party is the tamest party ever up to now (don't ask me why!). But I actually thank God about it, because I'm not the kind of party person or anything close to it. But if you are a party person who look up for those crazy Full Moon Parties, you should go there on new years because I bet it'll be crazy! Oh, and if anyone is planning to go to Thailand at the end of this year, on the 4th of January they will celebrate their 30th Full Moon Party and they said they will make the craziest Full Moon Party ever! So I'm calling all the party people here to go to Koh Phangan on the 4th of January 2015!
Though it is not as crazy as I thought, I could still found some 'craziness' at the beach! Some are a fun crazy, and some are just...... not funny. You could still found people making out everywhere (well for some people this is not crazy... but for me......), or even making love at beach! You could still found lots of drugs and shrooms everywhere, and saw people getting high (it's actually funny though). And, one of my friend actually saw a guy with broken ribs........Well crazy or not, you decide!
Lastly, here are some pics from the (tamest) Full Moon Party ever:
