• Full Moon Gathering

  I came to, though still just midnight - to myself howling at the full moon. It was the night before my birthday and there was a piece of glass in my foot. Mind you, I should have brought my flashlight as we were not staying at Paradise and instead had to opt for the more expensive digs up the path . . . so I got wasted and even with the full moon I ran aground on a wall of rock - my own fault for not bringing a flashlight. Luckily my buddy Mike was soon to come up behind me and with some preternatural senses he found the path and got us back to the bungalow. . .
  
  
  So that we could wake up the next day and do some easy-pleasey snorkeling on some pretty coral. But let us be serious, the best part about this island seems to be Paradise, where the sand is nice, the staff is nice, and everyone who is staying there wants to drink and sing and talk and live in this place we've all found. A very good place to escape the Full Moon Party but find the Full Moon Gathering of people who are in Thailand to relax, not just to spaz out.
  
  Let me mention . . on my birthday we buried some treasure . . . X marks the spot . . check off the bucket list . . .there be treasure there.

  This gives your review a bit of context - especially if you were last in Chiang Mai in 1932.
