Chapter 45 - Koh Pha Ngan - a more considered retrospective

We aplogise for the brevity of the initial retrospective, brevity only matched by the night's sleep had by your correspondent immediately before filing it which goes to explain a lot.

Apart from the main town of Hat Rin the island is largely undisturbed with just a few huts at each of the coves around the island accessible either by foot or boat (or a combination of both).

These huts power comes from Jennys only which at the place they stayed were turned off between 0200 and 0700 and usually failed several times a day, particularly in bad weather.

Their stay was marked by a bout of poor weather which perversely improved their time there as all the guests had to hang out in the bar area, playing pool and just chilling.

The full moon party was a remarkable experience a great night (during which he had the Welsh Flag painted on his forehead in flourescent paint) following by watching the sun rise with 5,000 other revellers.




So far this island is the highlight of the trip.
