It is the dry season. Of course that would be too simple so the heavens burst 3 days ago and it has been bucketing down ever since. It has been the proverbial cats and dogs.
Talking of which, what is worse than raining cats and dogs?...Hailing taxis. Boom Boom, take my mother in law, please, I'm here all week, try the veal. (get on with it - ed)
Several inches of rain have fallen and the sea has been a maelstrom so they have been totally cut off from the world and had to simply run from their hut to the bar and play pool and chess all day (yes chess, for the record Hoots is rubbish).
Yesterday was full moon and Koh Pha Ngan is famous for its full moon party. Basically an all night rave on the main beach (not where our brave lads are staying). Fortunately the weather broke yesterday and the sun came out so with a skip in their step the four ravers hopped onto a boat and headed to the party.
Other than a quick nap around 0400 in a banana plantation the night went tolerably uneventfully and having seen the sun up they got a boat back about 0830. They are now absolutely shattered.
This will be the last post from Koh Pha Ngan, tomorrow they head by boat and bus to Krabi and from then to Koh Phi Phi which is on the other side of Thailand in the Andaman Sea.
