Koh Phangan!!!

Hi all! we have been in koh phangan now for two days, got a bungalow on the beach again.Not quite as nice as silver beach but still very beautiful, just a little more basic. Its currently thai new year, which means there is 3 days of water throwing festivities!! crazy! we went for a walk into the town yesterday and got totally soaked, people chucked bukets full of water over us, rubbed powder in our faces and squirted us with super soaker pistols!! great way to cool down in the heat!! we have yet to venture out from the beach today but are bracing ourselves for another soaking when we do! great fun!

think we are going on a jungle trek tomorrow! that will be a shock to us a we've literally sat around on the beach for the last week! and are planning to head over to koh tao for a day or two,(the smallest of the 3 islands) and do some snorkelling there.Also going to try and go to an elephant enclosure, where you can ride the elephants, thats meant to be lovely.

we leave here on the 22nd and get an overnight train down to malaysia, where we have about a week, fly out of singapore to perth on the 30th.

Anyway, better go, our hammock on the beach, under the palms is calling us....!XX
