Chapter 23: Thailand

First let me say Sawatdee Bi Mai 2009!! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and memorable one. I know mine was. As the crazed teenager that I was, I have attended many parties in my time (sorry mom), but I have never experienced one like this; the Fullmoon party on Koh Pagngan in the South of Thailand. My expectations were high to begin with, but it still managed to exceed them. I will keep the details pg and to a minimum…don’t worry I didn’t do anything you wouldn’t do…but im sure other people did. Basically it was a huge beach party consisting of at least 10,000 people…and anything goes. The night consisted of fireworks, body paint, fire limbo (it’s exactly what it sounds like), dancing, mushroom mountain (a little disturbing), singing in the streets, thai techno and not arriving back at our beach front bungalows until 6:30 in the morning. When we left there were still people everywhere, sleeping all over the beach, some covered in body paint, some covered in nothing…but after 3 rallies we new our time was up. I can see how it could get out of hand for some…but for mom’s sake…we had a buddy system, kept our cool (to an extent) and all 8 of us managed to stay together the entire night. Again…one new year that will go down in the books…but cannot be describe with words or pictures. If youre still young, or young at heart J it is one party you must experience in your lifetime. For me, I think once is enough.
