we've been staying on pha-ngan for a week now, and tonight is the fullmoon party(http://fullmoonparty-thailand.com/).

we came here last monday, and we had already booked a place to stay from ko samui. this place happened to be in the middle of nowhere, so after two dasys we moved to had rin and hillside bungalows. had rin is situated on the southmost peak of pha-ngan, and therefore it has two beaches, east and west. the western beach isnt very nice to swim in, but it stretches wide and iss very beautiful. the eastern beach is where everyone goes to take a swim, and its here that the fullmoon party is thrown. in contradiction to all the other places we've been at, everyone here is below 30 years old, although i think we are amongst the youngest. our room at hillside is the nicest we've had so far, and its so huge that we had our own long-jump contest inside it. we even have a leather couch. nice.
