Haad Rin Beach, Ko Phangan The days leading up to New Years Eve became more routine with some long nights and late awakenings. Days have been spent chilling on the beach, swimming and doing a bit of jetskiing. There’s been a noticeable increase in the number of travelers on the island leading up to the big Full Moon Party on New Years Eve. Some mates of the boys from Sydney arrived on the 29th to get involved in the festivities.
One thing we've noticed on Ko Phangan over the last few days is the abundance of seemingly wild dogs that wander aimlessly around the beach and town. Our friend Dave Hickey from Sydney has taken a shining to one three-legged dog named 'Tripod'. Funnily enough, the dogs love to wander around at night when the party is in full swing. They are obviously well used to the loud music and flaming poi jugglers and are experts at begging for chicken schnitzels at 5 in the morning. Seasoned locals indeed!
Tripod, the three-legged dog chills out to watch a Poi JugglerOn the 28th we received further bad news about the situation in Pakistan with the killing of Benazir Bhutto, the chair of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and former Prime Minister of Pakistan. Mass riots throughout Pakistan ensued killing approximately 20 people and creating instability in the run up to the elections. We'll be keeping a very close eye on the situation with a Plan B bypass option in mind.
