THE BEACH - KOH PHANGAN

We had three days on Koh Phangan, the party island!!! Every full moon they have massive full moon parties on Hat Rin sunrise beach. We missed the full moon by two weeks and missed the black moon party by 2 days. Hat Rin is all set up for these parties and from getting off the ferry thats all you heard about.

The place we found to stay is on the sunset beach of Hat Rin up on blue hill. When we checked in there wasnt a soul about, we were shown a few rooms then the chap ( Alex) offered us a villa, yes a villa for the same price we would have paid for a room, 12 quid. So we got an awesome view overlooking the sea from high up on the hillside and Koh Samui, a massive room and a balcony that stretches two sides of the villa. Mental!!! There's also one of them eternity pools, where the pool is on the edge of the hill and the water in the pool, full to the brim, pours over the side like you see on the tele in them mansions in L.A. Its proper cool that!!!



I guess you can see why they call it sunset beach!!



Late afternoon in the sea about a mile out there are fisherman actually wading chest deep in the sea fishing with rod and line. Their boat is there also so I guess rod and line is more efficient or ethical than trawler fishing. Thats what I like to see, proper fishing!!!
