What a great night! There is no waiting around in pubs for the clubs to get “good” at midnight, like in the UK. Here, everything kicks off at 7pm as soon as the sun sets. So when we got in at about 2am, that had been a great but long night partying. The beach was still in full swing but we were fucked.

Full Moon Party. Rev 2
This morning we committed to a lazy day, knowing this evening was going to be a big party.

Rainstorms & Sunsets
We had kept it a quiet one last night. Not the “let’s just have a quiet one” after work on a Friday. That never ends up being either quiet or just one. We had had a long day and so just a few beers and a stroll before bed was nice. This meant we were up comparatively early, for Haad Rin, and could go exploring today.

Welcome to Haad Rin
Is it already time to leave Bangkok? We have done so much it feels like we have been here a week, not just 3 days. Cherry got us a local priced taxi. 250B to DMK airport, made the 10 min tuktuk ride last night for 200B feel expensive. Ah well, tourist tax.

Shopping Day and Caberet

Sweaty Bags
I hope I get used to this heat. My word, its sticky. My whole body is just coated and stuck to every other part of my body. I don’t remember it being this hot last time i was here, but that was the other end of the year, the dry season. We are here during rainy season. Might as well be called sweaty season!

Timezone Hopping
This blog entry is going to run into trouble because through its course I’ll be writing from 3 separate timezones. The UK, Denmark and Thailand. So I’m going to just capture all the airplane travelly bits in this one, and start the next when we land in Bangkok.
Deal?

Landed In Grey
Whooshing along the raised metro, I could see the lights of the airport approaching. Like the crescendo of the penultimate notes of a symphony, they grew brighter and bigger, the rumblings of planes adding voluminous bass to the finish. A single tone and a long tirade of Thai announced our arrival. I disembarked from the rollercoaster I had been on for the last 2 months into the alien yet familiar surroundings of an international airport – they all look the same.
Last Day V2.0
This was an extra day in Bangkok I hadn’t planned, or budgeted for. The last of my baht had been swallowed up by the high reaching tower of high society. The few notes I had left were just enough to get me some breakfast, lunch and a train ticket to the airport.
