Koh Pha Ngan: a perfect place to spend a week while waiting for our Indian visas to process back up North in Bangkok. Most backpackers head to the island's main beach, Haad Rin, for its monthly "full moon party," which ironically doesn't ever fall on the full moon. Though the party sounds like a good time, we were looking for something a little different. We headed to Haad Tien, a small beach on the other side of the island that Max had spent some time on years before. We now present perhaps our shortest entry to date, solely dedicated to some serious chill out time.
Kara doesn't know why she has her shoes on at the beach.
When Max had visited a couple years before, he had made friends with a Dutch guy, Ara, who had settled down on a quiet strip of beach. Max went to go look for him as soon as we arrived on the island, but when he arrived at what used to be Ara's place, he found only abandoned bungalows. Seeing that we would not be able to stay at that deserted beach, we headed out on boat from the party beach to the serene Haad Tien.

The water was so clean and warm. Even with tiny biting sealice, it was paradise.
Completely content.
After a week of doing basically nothing,we (reluctantly) took the bus back up to Bangkok. Here is Max listening to Phish and loving the ocean.
Our last night in Bangkok was spent eating at our favorite vegetarian restaurant and walking over the Rama VIII Bridge, seen above. Thailand, you were good to us. We will be back.
To Kolkata (India) we go!
Kara and Max
