Thailand 4 - the 4th day of Rain

Hi all and happy new year to you.  well koh phangon is not living up to its name of sun and beach be it has rained for the last 4 days of being here.  new years eve was mental, headed down to the party at haad rin beach and it was off the chain, the buckets destroyed me again and i eventually got home around 430am, after walking most the way before i was nearly attacked by a pack of wild dogs, pretty scary...

Quinny and Myself have been getting round with Marcus and Richie since we have been here and we are off to ko tao island tomorro for 3 nights before heading back to bangkok for a few nights to catch up with Geoff etc before they head to england..  Ko Tao is renowned for its diving so hopefully be able to get down and have a look around, the cost of hiring dive gear is about $5 nz for the day so we will probably get some of that and a scooter each and snorkell the beaches, its not the biggest of islands about the same as rabbit island so will be pretty easy..

Its so relaxed here on the island, there are pretty much no rules and you can just do what ever you want, which is a good thing.  The chang beers are going down a treat and im working out a way i can bring heaps of them back to NZ.  Today is not going to consist of much i dont think, im contimplating going and paying $50 NZ to hire a windsurfer for the day and teaching myself how to do that, if not i might give kiteboarding a crack.

A few beers tongiht to celebrate our last night here on the island, probably followed by the standard bucket and we will see where that will take us, Rich amd Marcus have bunked in with us for tonight, so its goign to be interesting 4 dudes in our little room, but shouldnt be a hassle.

Below are a few photos of our accomodation etc from koh phangon, havnt taken the camera out at night yet becawuse of the rain so hopefully tonight we can take them out and get a few snaps and say they are from new years.
