I recently took a trip over to Thailand to visit some family and friends. I arrived on like the 9thish and I must say January is the best time to visit Thailand because the weather is amazing. My Fathers birthday was in Late December and mine is January 12th so we celebrated ours together and xmas and New Years as well. I bought my Dad a ridiculously cool Espresso machine as he is a huge coffee fan.
My Roomie back home was in India visiting his family so he popped over and went with me to the Islands along with another friend. We headed over to Koh Samui and then straight to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon party which was on Jan 22nd. We stayed at "Tommy Resort" on "Hat Rin" beach which I frequent often when I visit the Island. The Full Moon Party was nuts as usual but there were a lot more people than I have ever seen there before, probably like 20,000 drunk fools ragging like crazy. Everybody at the Full Moon Party drinks small buckets full of whatever drink you like. Vendors line the beach and sell these buckets to the Party goers. But a little advice to the Full Moon Party rookie is to look at the bottles of booze you buy carefully and make sure they are sealed because they refill the premium Vodkas etc with crappier stuff. I bought my buckets from little convenience stores as they usually sell sealed bottles.
We had a great room very close to the beach and paid 2500 baht a night which is about $70. That's a lot to pay but we had 3 beds and arrived only 2 days before the party so we were pretty lucky they had a room at all. We met a lot of really cool people and had an absolute blast.
We all headed back to Bangkok and my trip soon ended:(
