Tuesday, July 31: Koh Phangan

Again, I spent most of the time at the beach (this phrase is getting somewhat dull). The most exciting part of the day was the full moon party, which if I were to guess had perhaps as many as 20,000 people! The whole beach was simply covered with the. Drunk (and not dunk) guys peeing into the water was part of the view and most amusing. I figured this was as good a time as ever to drink (or get dunk) and so I went for the "bucket". The "bucket" is basically a plastic bucket that is filled with some alcoholic beverage. I am not sure what it is that I got, but it sure as hell worked.. However, unlike some of the folks out there, the experience for me was not gruesome. Namely, I didn't throw up, nor did I loose any memory or any of the bullshit some people claim. I retired from the party at 5:30am...
