Yesterday, Sarah and I caught the ferry from Samui to Phangan, another island, mostly for a change of scene and to escape the noise of the bigger place. Koh Phangan is beautiful, 70% jungle and some beautiful tropical beaches, and much more laid back. We're staying in a cute bungalow, which was cheap ostensibly because the shower is terrible. No matter, the pool has views over the sea.
This morning we went to a temple, and then did a bit of a trek in a national park. Perhaps the most annoying thing is that because the roads are so lousy here it costs a lot to get anywhere. But, we came here and we want to see the place.
The island town, Thong Sala, is pretty small, but holds most normal amenities. We're staying in Haad Rin, on the other side of the bay to the notorious full moon parties fortunately, and last night we found a bar that showed Friends and served tea which was amazing. Just that little part of home was a real comfort!
