We are not that old

We did it, we survived the Full Moon Party! We really owe it all our new friends who a) let us know what day it was b) had a good idea about when to go. I don't know when it starts, I assume after sundown but they said to wait to ensure we didn't peak too early. That equated us not leaving the resort until 1. There's a lot of Scottish travelers here so it was just the two of us Americans and a 6-7 Scotts in the "taxi" ie truck bed with benches. Let me tell you Scott's have a song for everything and they do a lot of scream singing. I think it's awesome, they even sang (screamed) their national anthem and they all had the Scottish flag painted on them somewhere in here neon paint.

We arrived in one piece, located some buckets of alcohol (generally a liquor, soda and red bull), paid the 100 baht entrance fee to go on a beach that's free every other day of the year and d danced the night away with 20,000 other tourists. There were casualties as Rebecca calls them everywhere. People who got drunk way to early and were just passed out amongst the trash, stray flip flops and straws on the beach. Side note - The toilets here never have paper and finding napkins which to them is a roll of toilet paper is like locating the Holy Grail but straws are given out in abundance. We danced, drank, glowed in neon, watched drunken fools slide down a slide with fire at the end or attempt to jump a fire rope. A good time was had by all and we got back to our room at 6 after an eventful ride back, just in time for the orange ball of fire to heat our room to a most uncomfortable temperature.

Today was recovery day. Laid around the beach at the resort, had a smorgasbord of street food for dinner, packed for tomorrow and now it's off to bed. We have an 0830 ferry to Koh Tao tomorrow.

Fun fact: Luxury item I miss the most is my electric toothbrush
PMB - coffee (I think he's finally over the lack of caffeine headaches)
