After Ko Phi Phi I went and spent a few days on Ko Pha Ngan, home of the notorious full moon party. Unlike many, I didn't plan my trip around this trance inducing drug buffet of a party, but I was fortunate to attend the trance induced drug infused half moon party (any excuse for a party is accepted here). Unlike the full moon, this party was in the jungle instead of on the beach. It was good fun but could have been better had I any interest in that kind of shitty music. I also got a case of the envies over a girl. A case of getting a little and wanting a lot, you know? Overall the south of Thailand was good, even though I saw only a small bit of it. It is pretty much swamped with tourists and entirely too expensive plus the locals secretly hate you there so actually, boo the south of thailand.
I'm back in Bangkok now. Looks different to me after have seen so much in 5 months. Part of me thought I would be haunted by thoughts of all the money I lost here in that miserable card game scam but the truth is that at this point I couldn't give a rats ass (not that anyone would want to receive such an item, and it would probably be easier to just give the whole rat). i'm gonna hang out here for a few days, save money, dodge ladyboys, and contemplate my trip, my life, and my future.
