Oh yes, it's a onesie!

I arrived in Ko Phangan last night after spending the evening in Bangkok. That city is massive, and I look forward to some exploring towards the end of my trip. I met some cool people on the ferry to the island and it turns out they are staying at the same hotel as my friends from Chiang Mai, which worked out well as I found everyone very quickly.

I introduced each group to each other and we went out last night and just started wandering and drinking. Eventually we made it to the beach and started ordering more Thai buckets, even though I promised myself I wouldn't as things have tended to get pretty messy. Eventually some of us went to a bar, while the rest remained on the beach (I guess most of them ended up at a rave later). I met some girls who then invited us to a pool party where I continued drinking and eventually decided to jump in the pool. I don't remember actually jumping in, but it must have happened because the next thing I remember is that I was wandering around the town drunk, shirtless, wet and barefoot at about 6:30 am. Keep in mind I never usually last beyond one or two in the morning...stupid Thai buckets. To add to that, I left my camera out while in the pool, so clearly when I went to go retrieve it, it had been stolen. It's not a huge deal, as I've uploaded most of the pictures on facebook, so in the end I've only really lost about 2 days worth of pictures and my insurance should cover the theft (I have two coverages one from MasterCard and one from the travel company).

Tomorrow is the big full moon party, and once it's over I'll go to Ko Tao for scuba lessons, chill out on Ko Chang or Ko Samet for a day and then likely go to Ankor Wat in Cambodia. I figure that as much fun as island hopping is (and let me tell you, it is awesome!) Ankor Wat will leave a more lasting impression.

Well, I'm off to go find a disposable camera and some food.
