Week One - Koh Pangan

When we arrived at the bungalows, I was just pretty impressed we had managed to make it from Bangkok. We decided to dump our bags and try and find a swimming pool, also getting a cheeky cocktail. At the bar however I started to feel slightly strange, when I said to Charl and Hayley that I feel funny before starting to collapse. Luckily they gathered what was happening and caught me, did manage to scare them both and drew a lot of attention to myself. Later on it happened again but realizing what was happening sat down straight away. After these two episodes went for a nap hoping to feel better. Later on all 9 of the other girls arrived really excited for the Full Moon Party pre party's. After getting some buckets of Samsung (drink out here), we then covered ourselves in UV paint and got a taxi to the pool party. Taxi here are slightly different to English ones.. they are basically trailers and somehow we are expected to stay on them. Feared for my life several times on the journey, mainly as I kept getting distracted by trying to not spill my drink everywhere!! The pool party was amazing played drinking games with some randomers, after this thought it would be a great idea to go play in the sea. Me and Charl danced on a floating platform in the sea which was very fun even if nearly fell off a few times. We all then went down to the beach where spent most of my time in the sea (think it was a bit of a novelty).

Full Moon Party (FMP)
The Full Moon Party was amazing, most incredible night! As usual was all very eventful, with several people (unfortunately including myself) ending up being sick in the sea. We started drinking buckets of samsung early whilst we were getting ready which wasnt the best of plans when we were trying to paint ourselves with UV paint and not getting it on anything. Several minor spills. We all looked fabulous in our UV paint!! At the very point we decided to head to the FMP it poured with rain.. one thing thailand can do is rainnnn!! So this wasn't tooo great after we had spent hours getting ready for the paint to already be running off. However after the amount of buckets we had we didn't really care, just made it even more exciting.
When we got there Charl and our roles kept changing one minute she was looking after me and the next I was looking after her, we spent most of the night running around having a hilarious time. Until Charl became a lot more drunk than me and thought getting randomers to buy us buckets then run off with them would be a good plan.. this was not a good plan.. surprising I know! Hayley rescued me and Charl which I'm not sure she would have done if she had known the stress it would cause. Whilst charl was being sick in the sea.. Hayley for some unknown reason gave me her bag to look after. Drunkenly I walked into the sea and manage to stack ruining most of the contents in the bag including Hayley's phone.. not a good move. After some more eventful times at around 5 we decided to go back. Previously I had seen a corn on the cob being sold... healthy drunk food was available I was in my element and talk about it most of the night to anyone who wished to listen.
Before we left I went and bought one.. mistake. This was no normal corn on the cob it became "The Killer Corn". Whilst Hayley escorted drunken Charl and I home, I began chocking on my corn, literally to the point where I couldn't breathe. Terrified Hayley ran up to the nearest shop shouting she needed water, whilst Charl took the liberty of looking after me. This involved picking up the sweetcorn out of the bush I had dropped it in and trying to feed me in. Also getting right into my face and telling me (whilst still chocking) if I wanted the sweetcorn. After causing a scene and a lot of shouting and began to breathe again and ewe began the walk back. Charl had become quite taken with the sweetcorn and ate most of it on the way home, even though I kept throwing it on the floor telling her it was dirty. Charl unfortunately did not take my advice and ended up getting an infection. To try and attempt to sober us all us we went to a random stall to get thai food. We ordered pad thai.. this is the last time I ate pad thai as soon after both me and charl began to throw up all over again. Again Fun times for Hayley. Eventually we got back to our bungalow where we watch the sunrise with some guys also staying there before I passed out in bed thankfully. Drama follows me everywhere.
In all I had an amazing night and I am really looking forward to doing it again in july with Flickkky.
That my lovelys summerises week one.

Big love. <3
