We drove our speedboat past an Island which is used for harvesting bird nests for birds nest soup, a delicacy here in Thailand. There were all these red flags on bouys and on the island. Those red flags mean "If you come on this island we will shoot you". SHOOT YOU!!! They can't be that nice!!! Imagine if we had red flags around our Tim Tam factories!!
Our first stop was at a really shallow reef where we were able to snorkel and check out some coral and fish. The coolest bit was feeding the fish bread. I kept breaking it up and spreading it around me. The fish kept biting me in their efforts to grab a feed which tickled like buggery!

Afterwards, we decided to have an international wake boarding competition. Australia, England, France and Italy!! England, represented by Kim, won, hands down, however the rest of us had zero experience wake boarding and Kim got up first go and pulled off some jump and 180's. English sure do show off when the actually get around to winning something don't they!! ;)

The afternoon was spent finding venues for our French Dj friends to play at. We found the Kangeroo bar (on the same beach as the Full Moon Party) which was nice, and we enjoyed some of the local beverages before heading home early as 2 of french boys turned quite ill and we needed to get them home.
After the Kangeroo bar the boat ride home was incredible!! We skimmed across flat seas, in full moon light, clear skies with millions of stars, and coming into Bophut there were chinese lantern's sailing into the air and fireworks shooting off all over the beach. Absolutely surreal! :)

How to get there:
From Koh Samui, you can catch a ferry to Koh Phangan, however we hired our own private boat which will cost you about 30,000 THB for the day, which includes use of snorkel gear (but bring your own fins) and wake board. They will also wait for you until you are done to bring you home to Koh Phangan
It was one of the best afternoons ever!! If you can afford it (share with your friends) definitely book a private boat. It will allow you to see a lot really quickly and boats are just fun!!
Thanks to Dan and Kim and Noi for organising a brilliant day!! Looking forward to some more parties in Europe with you and our new DJ friends!!! :)
Until next time,
Daniel
