koh pha ngan.

full moon is an experience.

highlights of our party included the following:

1. an afternoon spent swimming in the hot water of the ocean with tracey and aric, their tans set in to a burnt marshmellow coloring.
2. drinking whiskey out of sturdy blue plastic cups as the sun set.
3. watching thai boys poi and juggle with burning instruments, their hands seeming to fly with fire.
4. painting their bare feet and faces with glow in the dark paint; everyone's feet showed glowing bones of their skeletons.
5. the whole beach being filled with people of every color, age, shape, nationality, humor, personality, scent.
6. house music. everywhere. forever.
7. rain storms in the middle of night night, short bursts of hiding from the pounding water under flimsy umbrellas.
8. morning arriving, the dim light purpling the sky, at six in the morning.
9. falling asleep on the five dollar speed boat ride back to koh samui at seven in the morning.
10. very few photos.
