So the previous day we had bought two tickets to a full moon party that was taking place tonight. The full moon party was on another island and we needed to get the transportation over to it. The party was not until later in the night so we wanted to do a little sightseeing before we took off to do it up, as well as get some needed beach time.
When we woke up we did the norm and got some breakfast and got ready to start our day. We took a taxi to a place about 15 minutes down the road towards and past Lamai beach. Actually it was at the very south end of the beach. Our hotel is on the north end just to let you know. Our destination was where they ,what they called the grandmother and grandfather rocks. These rocks were not just any ordinary rocks, they were shaped a little differently. To be Frank, they were shaped like male and female private parts. Apparently it was a big tourist destination, pun not intended. We walked up to the rock face and were stunned to see the male member looking out to the ocean. It was definitely interesting to see. We took a couple of pics and made our way back to Lamai beach on foot.
We wanted to check out the south end of the beach so walking to it was a good idea. We ended up stumbling upon a really nice spot. We found an area with some beach chairs and umbrellas and got a couple of beers and just hung out for most of the day. We swam around and lived the good life some more. We did not want to do too much today because we were going to be out late tonight. After awhile we headed up the beach to grab some lunch. In Thailand, they are obsessed with Bob Marley probably due to their relaxed island atmosphere. We stumbled upon a restaurant that claimed to have the best Jerk chicken on Ko Samui island. We decided to try it out I was craving a jerk burger and Latanya wanted to try the jerk chicken. My burger hit the spot her chicken was ok but it was really dry, saucy, and lacked spice. After that we went back to our hotel pool and swam some more. Then we headed up to our room to get ready for the full moon party.
A Tuk Tuk came to pick us up at around 8:00pm and they took us to the dock were our speed boat was. That's right speed boat. The place we bought our ticket from was for a speed boat to the other island. We got on the boat and raced our way over to the other island. The boat was ridiculously sweet except for the fact we all got soaked from the bumpy ride.
Once we arrived we noticed that everyone was out in full party force. We entered the gates of the party and made our way through the streets of a small beach town. We grabbed a quick bite to eat before we headed to the actual party on the beach. We ate some really good Pad Thai. Pad Thai is a mix of noodles, chicken or choice of meat, a hint of curry and coconut, some green onion, and some spice to go along with everything else, all stir fried. It was so good. We made sure to fill up.
We then headed toward the beach. We could hear the party from far away. When we arrived on the beach the party was already going strong. Imagine a couple of giant raves on the beach. Loud dance music was coming out enormous speakers. People were dancing and drinking. There were these two guys standing on two tall platforms, about 20 yards apart. They were swinging a giant rope that was lite on fire. It was a giant jump rope, where many people would attempt to jump it. Keep in mind on fire and alcohol. It was entertaining for sure.
We headed over to get a drink and they sold many of these buckets of drinks. A bucket would come with all the booze and mixers still in their packaged bottles. We chose the vodka, red bull, and ginger ale bucket. They mixed it all for us and we were in business. We did not do too much dancing. Latanya was not feeling up to par after the bumpy boat ride. We did have lots of fun watching all the drunk people dance and make fools of themselves. We walked the beach a few times. We had a few more drinks and then just found a spot to chill out and relax. They had this carpet area on the beach with little coffee tables. We had our drinks there and enjoyed the loud music and full moon of course.
We ended up heading out at about 1:00am and made our way to the speed boat. It was a mad house trying to get back. The line was long and many people were pushing. It was a great party night even though we did not get too crazy. We wanted to make sure to not lose any of our day tomorrow. I mean you need your energy to ride an elephant right?
