Pre Moon and Full Moon Parties
The day and night of the 15th was spent mostly asleep recovering from 4 nights of partying and in preperation for the BIG Full Moon Party itself. As much as I appreciate the liver jokes posted on here I think I need to reasure a few people on here that Im not actually drinking alot at these parties. Bearing in mind they start at around 11pm and finish around 7am ish I only drink three or 4 bottles of beer and the same number of Red Bulls. You do not need to be drunk here to have fun, the recovery period is merely to catch up on sleep……
So 4 nights pre partying was fun although there was one small incident…. 4 nights ago I hit Hat Rin Beach with 3 Irish girls, Trina, Susan and Anna and Laslo from Hungary. The five of us were sitting around a small white plastic table only a foot high and watching a fire show when Susan realised here bag was gone, Buddah only knows how they nicked it, there was 4 older thai girls next to us and now they had gone too. I searched the beach and surrounding roads for them but they were well gone. Susan lost her digital camera, Ipod, Phone and Wallet, she now knows thats too much to take out, luckily her passport and flight tickets were at the resort and safe. It kinda put a damper on the night but after a few tears she realised there was nothing you could do now so enjoed the rest of the night, culminating with about 40 people including us going for a swim at about 6am and sitting in the sea in waist high high warm water watching the sunrise over the horizon, even that couldnt fail to put a smile on her face.
16/11/05…. The Big Night
At this point you may have noticed the lack of Photos!!!! My camera has now pretty much packed in and works only when it feels like it, saying that there are a few and will get them up here sometime today.
You meet so many people, too many to name all but the night itself I started drinking at the resort with a couple of English girls I met a couple of days ago, Michelle and Laura and Headed to the party about 10.30pm with all the staff from the resort too. I also met upagain with Sophie who had come back from Bangkok and changed her plans just to do the Full Moon Party, a little to do with how nice the weather is here and Chiang Mai were she was due to go is currently having alot of rain.. Least the night went by without incident and consisted of alot of dancing and strolling up and down the beach just watching the madness unfold. Talking the next morning with Mr Shai who is the owner of the resort were Im staying and also an armed guard at the parties, he said there were only a few incidents including someone getting stabbed in the shoulder and at the fire show you can jump through a ring of fire, one girl got it wrong and landed on the ring and caught fire… so she went to hospital. Least al of us survived the night without any trouble.
The party just didnt seem as big as Sept’s, may be to do with the fact that this was my 10th beach party in total here and maybe its getting a bit “same same” but never the less it was a total laugh and drained me of every last bit of energy because when I hit the sack at about 9am I managed to sleep untill 8.30pm. By the time I grabbed my tea, checked emails I was asleep for 11pm, so the 17th was a washout.
18th/11/05….
Well its today and Ive just booked my ferry ticket to Ko Samui for 2moro (19th) and going to head there for around 5 days before heading back to Bangkok to come home. Like the end of any holiday/trip I think the last few days are going to be hard, getting the ballance between enjoying yourself and not thinking too much about coming home to no job and the English weather. The only thing that helps is to know Im going to see my family and friends again soon, including my very special Nephew Alfie who as Ive been told by my sister is now talking and saying words like cow, cat, mom, dad and also ” Peter Crouch(liverpool footballer) is a twat” which I find hard to believe.
Going out in Walsall is never going to be the same again as it’s just going to be far too expensive to what I have become accustomed. Im not even going to be able to use the Thai language that Ive been learning but hopefully be back here fast enough to put it to good use.
Well at least I got up early today ( 11am ) although its alittle overcast today Im hitting the beach and having a quiet day reading today as Im still feeling alittle drained.
Thanks too for all your comments guys on here, each one is read and appreciated, and also Ray who keeps my amused with my regular supply of jokes including my fav :
IT’S A TRUE STORY AND HAPPENED ON A SYDNEY RADIO STATION
Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many Sydney folk DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney. The DJs Play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called Mate Match”. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant
answers “yes”, he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner (with phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win a prize. One particular game, however, made Sydney drop to its knees with laughter and is Possibly the funniest thing I’ve heard yet. Anyway, here’s how it all went down:
DJ: “Hey! This is ED on Fox FM. Have you ever heard of ‘Mate Match’?”
Contestant: (laughing) “Yes, I have”
DJ: “Great! Then you know we’re giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First name only please”.
Contestant: “Brian”
DJ: “Brian, are you married or what?
Brian: “Yes”.
DJ: “Yes? Does that mean you’re married or you’re what?”
Brian: (laughing nervously) “Yes, I am married”
DJ: “Thank you. Now, what is your wife’s name? First name only please”
Brian: “Sara”
DJ: “Is Sara at work Brian?”
Brian: “She’s gonna kill me”
DJ: “Stay with me here Brian! Is she at work?”
Brian: (laughing) “Yes, she’s at work”
DJ: “OK, first question – when was the last time you had sex?”
Brian: “She’s gonna kill me”
DJ: “Brian, stay with me here!”
Brian: “About 8 o’clock this morning”
DJ: “Atta boy Brian”
Brian: (laughing sheepishly): “Well….”
DJ: “Question #2 – How long did it last?”
Brian: “About 10 minutes”
DJ: “Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn’t at stake”
Brian: “Yeah, that trip sure would be nice”
DJ: “OK. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o’clock this morning?”
Brian: (laughing hard) “I, ummm, I, well….”
DJ: “This sounds good Brian. Where was it at?”
Brian: “Not that it was all that great, but her mom is staying with us for a couple of weeks…” [IMAGE]
DJ: “Uh huh”
Brian: “And the mother in law was in the shower at the time”
DJ: “Atta boy Brian”
Brian: “On the kitchen table”
DJ: “Not that great? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I’ve done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian hold, get his wife’s work number and call her up. You listen to this.
(3 minutes of commercials follow)
DJ: “OK audience, let’s call Sara, shall we?”
(touch tones…ringing….)
Clerk: “Kinkos”
DJ: “Hey is Sara around there somewhere?”
Clerk: “This is she”
DJ: “Sara, this is Ed with Fox FM. We are live on the air right now and I’ve been talking to Brian for a couple of hours now”
Sara: (laughing) “A couple of hours?”
DJ: “Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any answers away or you’ll lose. Soooooo, do you know the rules of ‘Mate Match’?”
Sara: “No”
DJ: “Good!”
Brian: (laughing)
Sara: (laughing) “Brian, what the hell are you up to?”
Brian: (laughing) “Just answer his questions honestly, OK? Be completely honest”
DJ: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions Sara. If your answers match Brian’s answers, then the both of you will be off to the Gold Coast for 5 days on us”
Sara: (laughing) “yes”
DJ: “Alright. When did you last have sex Sara?”
Sara: “Oh God, Brian…uh, this morning before Brian went to work”
DJ: “What time?”
Sara: “Around 8 this morning”
DJ: “Very good. Next question. How long did it last?”
Sara: “12, 15 minutes maybe”
DJ: “Hmmm, that’s close enough. I’m sure she is trying to protect his manhood. We’ve got one last question Sarah. You are one question away from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?”
Sara: (laughing) “Yes”
DJ: “Where did you have it?”
Sara: “OH MY GOD BRIAN!! You didn’t tell them that did you?”
Brian: “Just tell them honey”
DJ: “What is bothering you so much Sara?”
Sara: “well…..”
DJ: “Come on Sara…where did you have it?”
Sara: “Up the arse…”
After a long pause, the DJ said: “Folks, we need a take station break”
Anhows sun to be had and guess I should make the most of it now………
