Koh Phangan [FMP]

After Koh Samui, it was time to hop islands & head for the one & only FMP. For all you mere mortals out there, FMP=Full Moon Party (get it together) which if you don't know what that is... well it's a ridiculously bright, crowded and "eventful" party on the beach of Haad Rin in Koh Phangan, Thailand. It was a rowdy all nighter filled with fire, infamous buckets (can of redbull+can of pop+mickey of alc) & loud music that went on until sunrise (which was beautiful). We stayed at a great little spot called Beck's Resort. This place had an ideal location (in my opinion) since it was only 5 minutes away from the ferry piers & 15-20 minutes away from Haad Rin (close enough to get there quickly but still a ways away to relax the days before & after). While in Koh Phangan we enjoyed the beach/beach bar at our resort, an incredibly delicious night market, a morning shopping trip to Haad Rin for essentials for FMP & of course FMP.
I feel like pictures will give you a better idea of my experience in Koh Phangan slash I'm sure you are already tired of my babbling already, BUUUUT one last piece of advice/tidbit: while getting to Koh Phangan is fairly easy (especially the days leading up to the FMP), getting a ferry out proves to be more difficult with ferries being fully booked the days following FMP. My advice is to book a ferry out (if you know when you will want to leave...FYI don't leave the day after FMP, you'll be too hungover/still raging) when you are booking your ferry there (aka from Surat Thani or Koh Samui or wherever you're coming from) or as soon as you arrive!
