Robin and I have now landed in one of the bungalows on the beach, Thong Nai Pan Noi, still on the island Ko Phangan.
We left The Sanctuary by longtail boat yesterday, and landed on Haad Rin. The legendary Full Moon party that attracts thousands of ravers and onlookers alike happens every full moon on Haad Rin, but this was not our final destination. We caught a 4X4 taxi truck over the mountains to the other side of the island. After an hour long, very dusty, and potholed ride, we made it to Thong Nai Pan Noi, where the Baan Panburi Bungalows awaited our arrival. Thong Nai Pan Noi is one of those perfect little beaches that stretches along the shore of a crescent-shaped cove. We have a bungalow right on the beach with a thatched roof and a little wooden deck, just like in the pictures. When we got there, we immediately made a run for the ocean to wash off all the dust and grime from our recent journey. Later that night, we had a fabulous buffet dinner on the beach and then settled into a balcony style bar built into some hillside boulders, aptly named “The Balcony”.
Life is tough.
Today, the storm gods have come and I am glad to have my lightweight, little, wind and rain jacket, because the wind is blowing like crazy. We have had a little rain here and there, but for the most part the skies are just grey and very windy, the ocean choppy, and the temperatures cooler than comfortable in shorts. At least where there’s wind, there’s no mosquitoes, right?
