With all the training in Ko Tao, I trusted Vish was now mentally and physically prepared for the fun and games in Ko Phangan. Bring on the full moon party! We arrived a few days before the big night so that we could guarantee some digs. Plus, enjoy the antics of full moon build up. Of course this includes; pool parties, magic mushrooms, multicoloured buckets, bonfires on the beach, hong thong whiskey, M150, a hired scooter, and lots of body paint. But of course Ive been through all this before.
The actual full moon party was far busier than it was back when me and Maj were here in May. Only problem this time round was that we were leaving the following day, at 7am! So good preperation of packing our bags the night before was a MUST. (Me and Maj didnt get back from our first full moon until 11am, it was going to be difficult). We managed to make it back in time for our transport to the dock and even got to give the teeth a quick brush. The tiredness kicked in whilst on the boat across to the mainland, and I ended up passing out on the top deck of the boat, half in the sun and half in the shade with my sunglasses on. The panda eye was disgracefull, the burns were sore and my skin peeled for the 2nd time on the trip. Only problem this time was that home was only a few days away.
The long bus ride to Bangkok took about 12 hours. From there we grabbed a cab to Majids new apartment where he had been living for the past 3 weeks whilst doing his Thai boxing. It was good to see the old lad again.
Our last 2 days of our trip were spent in the Thai capital. We managed to go on a big shopping spree for all the pressies for everyone back home and have one final night out in Asia with Maj's mate Krissy. A great way to finish off the travels together. Me and Vish went out looking like the chukle brothers (according to Maj) and we tried hard to see a ping-pong show, but the season had finished, so we just settled for strippers.
So that was it for us. We had to make our way to the airport and make the emotional travel home (with a quick stop off in Egypt). Vish on the other hand still had another 10 days left of travelling and would be heading to Cambodia with the all the advice he needed from the pro's. We both told everyone that we would be arriving home on the 5th of September, so a few suprises were on the cards. It was just as exciting to be going home. At the beginning we had a plan of what we wanted to do. Now we can say we accomplished everything we set out to do and a hell of a lot more.
