Full Moon Magic

Everything in my trip has been random, unplanned and spontaneous. There have only been a couple moments of certainty, those being flight details, placement and the date of my sisters arrival.

One other event that was always going to happen was the full moon party! I couldn't come to Thailand for 4 months and not experience the biggest party in Thailand.

Dons wanted to go to so we decided on the April full moon and planned our holiday around it.

I was a little nervous as I wasn't sure what music was gonna be played and I didn't know how me and don would deal with the crowds, turns out I had nothing to worry about!

Full Moon party was possibly one of the most atmospheric, exciting buzzing parties that I have ever been to. It's like a dj version of a festival minus mud, cold weather and miles of walking.

We started off in Outback Bar where we met up with Trine, Anne-Louise and a group of people from our friends guest house. Had a few drinks before going to a bar to body paint and drink cheap drinks.

We expertly flicked paint, made dots and flowers before being shown up by an Australian tattooist/artist who drew some less 'casual' pics on us.

We didn't venture into the beach just watched and danced from the safety of the Cactus bar.

The music was everything from raving drum and bass to mixed pop and r&b.

Katrina also joined us for a bit but couldn't stay as she had an eye infection poor wench. She left some of her friends to party with us who were so much fun!

The mixture of music, erratic dancing, neon painted bodies, buckets and excitable people made the best night ever! No fights, no injuries, no passing out... Starting to sound boring?? Defo wasn't.

I think I can safely say I will never experience anything as crazy as the full moon party and I am proud to say that me and my little sister made it till the sunrise before eating our body weight in chicken and nearly stealing smudge (the Outback bars dog).

This morning wasn't so fun but the sight of Donna passed out in her usual glam hung over way with the addition of neon paint and her memorial to Dom will never leave my mind.

As usual Thailand you were fricken awesome!

Home sweet home

Ok, so 2 weeks yesterday I arrived home, cold, windswept and a mixture of excitable and miserable. I was heart broken to leave my Thai world, but so excited to see Mum, Dad, Don, Steve and the dog (of course!) I'm still waiting for the post Thailand blues to kick in, seeing the odd hint of them now and again, but luckily I have a team of love, silliness and hecticness (is that a word?) to keep my mind from wandering to that world of sun, fun and yummy foods. Seeing as it's only the 3rd of May it already feels like a lifetime ago that I was there, but it's not surprising seeing as I have been running around like a madwoman. There has been weddings to prepare for, people to see, hen nights to go to, football to support, coffee to drink, dogs racing to watch, tutu's to make, cakes to paint, boxes to stick, children to wind up and drinking games to be played. Most of the pics below are not mine, I stole some of them off my lovely Libby Fardon and unfortunately I canno...

Last Friday Night!!...

Image
Ok so last night... Well! We danced on table tops, took to many shots and think we kissed but I forgot! (reminded via Facebook next day should have been the next line in this song!) It was the final goodbye for all the community volunteers, all the schools and daycare centres are closed so we are all off home/travelling/meeting with loved ones. In usual Chang Bar style we danced, sang, drank horrific free shots and witnessed some living affairs between the community and conservation teams... ;) shocking behaviour! Was so much fun and I have come to the conclusion that we need to clone the Chang Bar staff and create international Chang Bars all over the world. They are absolute legends!! This isn't going to be a soppy post as the pictures don't really fit the soppy image haha but I love you guys and for the last time "we are from England, Canada, Denmark, Germany, holland, Italy, Switzerland... No not a very large family!" Who run the world!

Sun, Fake full moon parties and tattoos!!

Image
This weekend we headed back to Phi Phi, we can't seem to get enough of the place!! We planned to do all the things we didn't do last time including the tsunami village and the view point. The others succeeded in attempting both but I gave up at the thought of it as both are a bit of a trek. Once again Phi Phi never failed to get us well and truly messy. We made our own full moon party with neon clothing and neon face paint, I managed to get it everywhere... Classy! It all soon washed off though as Thailand let rip one it's infamous rain storms and drenched all party goers on the beach. We didn't let the rain beat us, we just carried on dancing and singing... Mr Kelly would have been proud!! Friday, however wasn't the main event this weekend, no no no. Me and three of the girls decided we wanted a momento from Thailand which we would never forget or lose. We decided to get tattoos!!! We found a tattoo parlour that didn't have any signs of scary metal music bl...
