The boat crossing from Samui to Koh Phangan was rough! I was almost spewing out the window but luckily it was quite short! The weather was cloudy, miserable and rainy. Oh great! We were told to get to Koh Phangan way before the Full Moon Party as accomodation around Haadrin gets booked up really quickly. We stayed in a place called Mac Bay Resort which was out of Haadrin as there are many stories of guesthouses, bungalows and hotels being broken into on the night...

The journey was hassle free and when we arrived in Samui there was a spectacular sunset... I was quite excited as i thought that we might actually get some good weather. I was so so so wrong!

They are the nicest, funniest little people I have ever met and they really looked after you and make you feel welcome. Tony loves everyone "long time" and makes up words to english songs and is generally a bit crazy! W neta really nice couple upon our arriv...
