Ready to see what Thailand had to offer and try and organise our way to the full moon party, we checked out and headed to the Tourist Information. As we approached, it appeared to be shut. A small Thai man greeted us outside and we explained we were trying to get to the Full moon Party. He smiled and called over a tuk-tuk, being a local he got us a 20 baht (40p) fare for a fairly reasonable distance.
We arrived outside the Tourist Information, went in and booked a ticket for an overnight coach to the port, ferry from the port and back again. As Ko Phagnan was the location of the full moon party and it was in two days we realised we would not be able to get accomodation there, so we also booked three nights accomodation on nearby island- Ko Samui. Having done this, we had four hours to freely roam around Bangkok.
We left our big bags at the tourist Information and headed out.
Goatee suggested we head to Lumphini Park', so we did and found a small park area of bangkok that was quiet and hassle-free. We took a relaxed stroll around the park and sat by the pond. When looking into the pond we noticed a large Komodo dragon type thing poke its head above water and swim past, that helped the realisation of actually being in Thailand! The afternoon was soon gone and before we knew it we were boarding the coach to Surat Thani (The port). It was pure luck that we got the comfy and more spacious seats downstairs. Thankfully it was air conditioned and the seats reclined to a laid back position. The coach journey lasted around eleven hours!
