Jumping in Koh Pha-Ngan

19 March, 2012 from Ko Pha-ngan, Thailand Leave a Comment

From Rayley Beach we then headed to the opposite side of thailand, on the East, to the rather famous Koh Pha-Ngan Island.

Koh Pha-Ngan is mostly known for being the place where wild Full Moon parties got internationally famous. Full Moon parties happen every Full Moon (doh!), on the beach. Everybody is supposed to be dressed in white and have their bodies painted in fluo colours. Side requirement of these parties is to buy a “bucket” full of ice, soda, but mostly alcohol (vodka, rhum, whisky, you name it) in order to really join the party craziness.

The parties became so famous (and lucrative) that quickly appeared the Black Moon Party, the Half Moon Party etc.

Maybe am I getting old but I was very happy to arrive just in between two moon parties, so the Island was quite quiet. The hostel room we were in was for 24 people… and we were 4 in it ! I don’t want to imagine how it would have been with 24 people full of “buckets” after a Moon Party. I’m pretty sure the owners must have some nightmares about it too…

Koh Pha-Ngan outside the Moon Party windows is a great little island. It’s quite hilly but you can rent scooters that come very cheap and let express the road rider that sleeps in you.

The picture below is, well, not the best of the serie, sorry. But we cannot be on top of everything all the time. Especially in a place where buckets are flying around… 🙂

Jumping on Rayley Beach

16 March, 2012 from Mueang Krabi, Thailand Leave a Comment

The original plan was to take a train from Kuala Lumpur to Rayley Beach, south of Thailand in order to spend a few days on one of the paradisiac beaches of the area. But, as often, by the time we went on checking train timetables and wanting to make a booking, there was nothing decent available anymore.

We ended up taking a short Air Asia flight to Krabi. From there we took a bus to Krabi city centre, and then a tuk tuk to Ao Nang on the beach front.

Rayley Beach is not an island, it is on the mainland. But there are no road to get there as a  steep hill is blocking the way. So from Ao Nang we took a long tail boat to Rayley, as it was the only way to get there. After a short ride we were on the beach. It took us a good 1-2h to find the hotel we had booked (that includes the coffee break) but we finally did it, it was on the opposite beach.

Rayley is very small and you soon know most of the people around, especially after hanging on the trendy bars on the beach.
