Koh Phangan Sucks

Yes, I realize that this is a very strongly worded title, and there will probably be some form of backlash (if anyone who reads this blog has been to Koh Phangan). But after several days of trying to like it, Caroline and I gave up and realized that maybe it just wasn't going to happen. Everything was geared around the Full Moon Party, which we didn't care about, the roads were steep and dangerous, and the most accessible beaches (the entire western side) are crap for swimming this time of year. Spontaneously we decided to get out of Dodge and head to Samui, which the "Bible" (L.P.) described as "like a pretty woman who wears too much make-up".

Turns out there's a lot worse things in life than pretty women who wear too much make-up, cause I absolutely love Samui! It doesn't hurt, of course, that we ditched the low budget bungalows and are staying in a nice resort (Peace Resort on Bophut Beach). Comfortable beds, a nice beach, and the BBC. What more could you ask for? I've been kissed by pretty woman with too much make-up, and I loved every minute of it!
