Last few days here was great. All I did is eat, sleep, get massage, nap, eat, nap, dancing on the beach, nap, eat, nap. I definitely caught up with all the sleeps that I needed. I love Ko Pha Ngan.
Full moon party was last night. The whole beach is crowded with mainly 20-30yrs old (saw some 50-70yrs old hippies here too), most probably drunk or high. Loud dancing music was blasting from various bars on the beach. I'd imagined this is how spring break is like in Cancun but it is much bigger here and with kids from all around the world and no wet t-shirt contest. Heard lot of Aussies and British accent, some Swedish and Finnish too, didn't hear any American accents here.
Some things from the trip:
-Cambodia (Khmer) food are not good. It is a cross between Thai & Chinese but done it badly.
-Mosquitoes love me. I sprayed on bug repellent everyday and if I miss even a tiniest spots, the damn mosquitoes know it and bite me. I got bite everywhere, even my thumb. It was feeling numb for quite a while after being bitten.
-Thai food is good. Not drastically different from the one in US.
-Departure tax from Cambodia airport is $25, visa for entry is $20. Freaking expensive.
-I miss clean sit down toilet. Squatting sucks.
-South East Asia (Cambodia & Thailand) is very nice this time of year. Not too hot, not too cold. Perfect for walking around in tank top and shorts all day and all night long.
-Cambodian and Thai People are so friendly and helpful. Haven't met any mean/piss off people.
-You can get any kind of food here. I have a burger the other day cuz I miss American food.
-Ocean near departing ports are dirty (brown), ocean water near island are clean (blue) but water is cool, not warm like in the Caribbeans.
-I float easily in the water here. Probably cuz it is so salty.
-Bangkok have awesome traffic signal panel on their highway, they tell you where the traffics are on the signs.
-Everyone speaks a bit of English.
-I accidentally scrap my foot against a rock while swimming in the ocean, left 2 big bloody spots. no swimming/snorkeling/food massage for me for the next few days (hope it'll heal or become scat soon, I want a pedicure and go snorkeling, still haven't done these).
Taking an overnight boat to Suran Thani tonight, then taking a 3-4hr bus ride to Krabi early tomorrow morning, then taking an 1.5 boat ride to Ko Phi Phi. I plan to stay there for another 2-3 days. Hopefully my foot will heal then so I can go snorkeling. I want to take a cooking class there too. Itinerary for Ko Phi Phi: Snorkeling/Cooking Class/Napping/Eating/Massage.
