Koh Samui

This past weekend, a group of us went to Koh Samui, a large island off the coast of Southern Thailnd in the Gulf. We stayed at a very QUAINT resort for two nights, mentally and physically preparing for the famous Full Moon Party. Each month, thousands of trashy Europeans flood the island of Koh Phagnan to literally trash the island. For most, the night's main attraction consisted of a short hike up to Mushroom Mountain where a particular fungus shake could be bought and consumed for the affordable price of $15. For the more traditional party-goers, a variety of buckets were available. Inside these buckets were a choice of juice or soda, thai whiskey, and thai red bull. I must say, this was one of the most interesting people-watching events I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures that really capture the true nature of the party, so these will have to do for now...


In case you need a nap


Fire Twirlers



The Beach...supposedly the island uses so much electricity, the smaller neighboring islands are without for the night.
