Half moon, Kho Pha Ngan - Bantai

Countries : 1
Cities : 7
Massages : 3
Time away : 31 days
Books read: 6

So bantai...its sleepy to put it mildly. For instance the place where me and Matthew (a guy I met whilst diving) stayed at had us as their only guests. So although the beach was literally a stones through away 1. It wasn't much of a beach and 2. It was fairly deserted with the exception of a sprinkling of couples here and there.

However one of the funniest things was the offer the guy gave for the room in Bantai...ask me about it.

Apart from wandering around and having some pretty decent food, not to mention an amazing pizza at a place called the food factory which was an open bar, both Matthew and I really didnt get up to much, even though some dubious ladies tried to accosted us whilst we were simply walking back the guesthouse.

Anyway it was blistering hot during the day when we decided to just walk all the way around and explore the place before heading to the half moon party. Met tons of people whilst there, most with body paint covering themselves which I'm not going tto lie I was ridiculously tempted to get one, but not a huge florescent 7/11 as a guy called Steve (from diving) got on his back. It was a pretty decent night with the buckets flowing like any party but unlike most it ended at 2am due to some new regulations and so it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Word or warning though : Don't embark on a two day trip to Siam Reap the day after a half/full moon party, your head will not forgive you on the boat journey whilst you slosh around the plastic chairs trying to find a comfortable spot whilst never really achieving it.
