We ended up staying on Phagnan for over a week... we got sucked in, it's just so beautiful! After a few nights in the northern part of the island (enjoying the infinity pool and a bungalow right on the water) the four of us moved further south. We stayed in Haad Rin, where the full moon party is. In Haad Rin we enjoyed a gorgeous white sand beach, went motorbiking (Tim taught me!), hiked to a waterfall, and went snorkeling. We also met some great Thai friends that showed us around on Songkran, Thai new year and a huge country wide water fight. In the evening after a poker game and some pool we went to the beach to enjoy the party with some Thai friends from the poker game. The beach was full of foam, dancing, buckets, and of course people throwing water on each other; it was a great time! The next morning Tim and I met up with our Thai friend, Jigsaw, and threw water on people driving by for hours with a big group of Thai kids. Then we met up with a few friends from the night before and went into town for another massive water fight and a party. Needless to say we were drenched the whole day and had a fabulous time!!
After staying on the island for a few days longer than we intended, we headed to Koh Tao for a few days to get our diving certifications. We found a great dive company with an awesome instructor (Steve) and spent three days learning about scuba diving. Tim and I also went on a few dives that were amazing! We saw so many colorful fish, sting rays, eels, coral, and other sea animals. This morning we both officially passed the test and go on two more open water dives today. Tomorrow we head back to Koh Phagnan for the full moon party and then head to the West Coast for more island hopping.
