As you can gather I am living it up at the full moon party in Koh Phangan for those who have not yet experienced one it is a massive beach party full of up to 30,000 people! The saying goes FUCK IT, I'LL HAVE A BUCKET! There is also somewhere on this island called mushroom mountain, where people go and have magic mushroom milkshakes which I hear are quite tasty but too many of those and you will be crawling down the hill and hallucinating.
Keep an eye out for the Thai buckets which look so sweet and innocent , don't be fooled! Two of these bad boys and you will be literally living in the hangover movie. No idea where you are, who you are with or where you are going. So two buckets in i'm dancing round loving life, for a brief explanation of what goes in the bucket you normally pick which alcohol you want and which mixer and it comes with a Thai version of a redbull. Rumour has it these redbulls are actually laced with speed and I can believe that because drink on its own doesn't make you go as crazy as these buckets do.
So i'm making friends dancing around and get told there's a secret club on a island but you have to get a boat to it, so of course I go with the nice strangers to find a secret club that nobody knows about, bye full moon party hello random island that it has just taken 40 minutes to get to in the dark. We pull up to this random island with nothing and no other boats around and then I find out we have to climb over rocks to find the club and head towards the music in the distance ( which I could not even hear ) Have these people made it up? is this it? Am I going to spend the rest of my life living on a deserted island?. At this point everything becomes a blur and luckily the people I had met on the boat weren't trying to kill me and helped me climb up these rocks. After what seemed life a life time we made it! god knows where we were or how we were getting back but I am here I am alive and I have found a hammock!
I was then told this secret club we were at is actually run by the mafia and they serve drugs at the bar, One of the girls that was with me on the boat there smoked something that they sold to her and within minutes she was incapable of walking, talking or doing anything. I was in fairy land myself after those insane buckets, I disappeared making friends with these Australians trying to impress them with my amazing ozzy accent which actually sounds terrible and I will not be repeating this ever again. I lost my boat buddies but had the ozzies to take good care of me which they did, they even managed to get me back to the full moon party when it became daylight. We headed our separate ways, so its morning by now all the normal people going out for breakfast, walking past the occasional person passed out on the beach, I am disorientated, dehydrated and lost. Trying to figure out where I am staying, or what my hostel is even called, after 30 minutes of walking around in the sweltering heat I could no longer go on. I gave up on life, calapsing on the floor trying to hide my face from the sun, strangers walking past " You OK love? " My answer No, No I am definitely not OK. No money, No clue, Not sure who I even am?
Thanks to the kind gentleman who literally rescued my life by giving me a bottle of water without him I may have died! Slightly dramatic, probably wouldn't have died lol but anyway the water gave me the strength to keep searching. All I could remember is the hostel I was staying in was pink and had playboy bunnies painted on the walls, I am asking people.. " excuse me do you know where the pink playboy hostel is " Yes I know what your thinking what the hell is she doing even staying somewhere like that. Well the truth is it was about ten pounds a night and that is really good when the full moon party is on. Nothing dodgy the hostel was actually really fun, Thanks to the lovely people I met at the hostel meant I found out that there is a jungle party on which is even better than the full moon party! Anyway after asking loads of people if they know the pink hostel I was eventually pointed in the right direction and made it back safe to bed.
So important lesson learnt here, don't drink something if you don't know whats in it, probably not the best idea to go searching for mysterious random clubs on other islands whilst being intoxicated and keep a note of where you are staying in case you can't find your way back!
