Koh Pangan and it's love for the moon

We're back in Bangkok after 9 days on beautiful, quiet, crazy, cooky Koh Pangan - the island with something for everyone. We spent the first rainy days on Haad Gruad beach resort, a negative place where only dogs knew how to behave. We met some cool people there though, and togther we did cross the line to excitement a few times (playing cards and, well, playing cards).

After having had enough of the rude owner of the place, everyone left on the same day. Malin, Josefien (a dutch girl we met there), and I went to Bottle Beach up on the northern tip of the island. It's supposed to be one of the most beautiful places on the island and you can only get there by boat. Unfortunately it continued raining for the whole time we were there, so our days were spent lying around on cushions in the restaurant, reading, and playing cards and 4 in a row (which Malin found so exciting she later bought one to take on the plain home).

We also walked up to the view point one day, and swam in the rain with the flying fish.

On the 15th we travelled down to Haad Rin, the well-known full moon party beach. It's a crazy, crazy place, but so wonderful. The days we spent there were definitely our best days on the island, and we were sad to leave yesterday morning, the day of the full moon party.

We'll come back some time though.

On the bus back up to Bangkok we ended up, by coincidence, in the V.I.P lounge, thanks to two british girls who managed to talk the seating woman in to letting them sit in there (though it was "only for staff"). It made the trip a lot more comfortable than it could have been.
