Koh Phangan (Pre-covid times)
Sooooo basically this happened,
Where we are going :
Ko Pha Ngan or Koh Phangan, Thai: เกาะพะงัน, rtgs: Ko Pha-ngan, is an island in the Gulf of Thailand in southeast Thailand in Surat Thani Province. It is part of the Samui Archipelago. It is famous for its Full Moon party at Haad Rin Beach and as a backpacker destination. Ko Pha Ngan has two sister islands: the larger Ko Samui to the south and the smaller Ko Tao to the north.
Yup the island all right, the sun is bright, the air smells of sunblock and all, however the journey, THE JOURNEY to this f%*&ng island is &^(&*5123&%^!!! In the span of a day we've managed to get on almost all forms of transportation mode known to man. From van-plane-bus-boat-van-tuktuk
What we are going to do:
The Full Moon Party takes place every month throughout the year. Its attractions include fire skipping ropes, alcohol "buckets", and drugs. There is a very wide spectrum of music ranging from trance, to drum and bass, to reggae. The party takes place in many clubs along the Haad Rin beach. For april 2015 the party falls on the 3rd which is a " Thank god its friday!"
What can we expect to see:
So this is what 20,000 to 40,000 people on one beach looks like
One whole long beach just for the full moon party.
What we should be careful of :
There has been many reports of dangerous activities going on during the full moon party. Well what can one expect when there is over 40,000 people partying on the infamous Haad Rin beach intoxicated on alcohol, weed, shroom and god knows what else.
There are also many sad incidents that have taken place on this island such as murders, rape cases, robberies just to name a few. The recent article (17 Sept 2015) below covers this quite well.
The dark underworld of the full moon party
The infamous bucket drinks. There are various prices and different combinations. Now the real danger lies in the fact that any of it could be spiked, leaving you vulnerable as above for thieves to take your belongings or even worse, take your body.
The flaming jump rope, yeah after a few drinks you will be like why not? this is easy and i'm super brave and that's when you realize fire do burn human skin faster than you can say " roti bakar"
So we are going to one of the world's infamous party places, lets put the "full moon party, is the greatest ever" to the test, X-dest style.
Wish all of us luck !! and we will be back with more pictures and great unforgettable memories!
-fs- not being able to sleep from too much anticipation for this trip
---------------------------------------------------end of disillusion--------------------------------------
basically non of the above really happened, to us anyway. Drinks are cheap and plenty, girls are everywhere but we didnt get any. We went we see, we go home

Bromance V3 : 14 - 18 Bucket List Epic Trip
Surabaya Bromo Banyuwangi Ijen Surabaya
Journey of a thousand miles begin with a click of a button in the AirAsia website...
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door...
Excruciating 18 hour van ride, Hiking up a living rumbling and angry ash spewing Mount Bromo, Hiking up Mount Ijen and scaling down its crater blanketed in noxious sulphur fume.
Was it worth all the effort? HELL YEAH!!

Bromance V2 : FeelsGood
Yeah, I get over-overwhelmed,
When all these problems burn like hell,
Maybe I just need a friend
Who never calls me crazy, Crazy!

Lest we forget to live!
I found my heart and broke it here,
Made friends and lost them through the years,
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long,
I know I've grown

Guess who's back!
Hey everyone, the blog is not dead!!
Yes, it was abandoned, neglected by us for a very long time (2011) but my appetite for writing has returned so expect more to come. As you can see we have grown into a huge group now!
Small update
I have been trying to change certain things but it seems to be going very wrong. I have been reading the dummy's guide to try and change the layout, background, and fonts but what you see now is the results of that (yes i know i failed horribly)
Time to seek professional help! In the next few weeks (hopefully) we are going to revamp and update the entire blog to 2015!!
I will begin posting tomorrow and i hope the other admins (eh hemmmmmm) will also assist to post at least one thing a week per person.
Current admins
Ylo
Aaron
Wh
Marcus
+ Me (fs)
So there is no excuse that all shall only await for me to update it!
-fs- Peace out
Happy Belated Birthday to March Babies! Prepare for the celebration that's about to come
