An enjoyable three hour boat trip from Ko Toa to the beautiful island of Ko Pha-Ngan, famed for its Full Moon parties – annoyingly – we missed the last one by only two days!  

In high season 30,000 strong flock to the party. After we docked we hung around for an hour or so chatting to many and they all said it was an amazing experience.  Unsurprisingly, few had taken the time to explore the island other than Haad Rin where the part takes place.

We’ve been here for 6 days and it is nothing short of paradise, especially if you hop on a moped and scoot around to many beaches.  The days are going slow, which is great, and we’ve been so relaxed it was unthinkable to get the laptop out and write a few posts. 

Because it’s still a king tide, which takes a week or so to settle following a full moon, the snorkeling has only been average.  The beaches are stunning and the weather has really picked up.  We’ve met a few great couples and have hung around and toured with them for the past few days.

There is not a lot else to write about, we have done absolutely nothing other than what couples do on paradise islands and you don’t want to read about that.

There are many more pics here, have a flick through – it’s no.37 on the list.

We’ll start with our home and its surroundings for the first three days and the remainder are of our second home a few miles up the coast. Anybody that feels like joining us for for Christmas for a few weeks, now is the time to start booking.  If these pictures don’t convince you nothing will.

The second picture shows why there has been nothing posted here for a while .
