Partying in Phuket and Phi Phi

With a change of plans, Nils and I headed straight for Phuket instead of Burma, but hopefully I'll be able to go on my own in the next few weeks. Within a few hours upon arrival we had already managed to make a new friend, a girl from Montreal. We went out for dinner and drinks and ended up wondering around the both overwhelming and equally exhilarating area of Bangla Road. The road is what really makes up the main atmosphere that is Patong. Famous for it's endless night life there is no wonder how the road is always packed with tourists, lady boys, people pushing ping pong shows, and of course, the drunk. After bar hopping around and exploring a few clubs, we eventually settled on a Scandinavian bar/club that was a bit off the main road. The place was packed with dancing by the time 1:30am rolled around and we stayed up for most of the night. We met even more people the next day and basically just did the same thing but with more people. Nils then headed for work and I spent the day wondering around Patong with a few girls I've met. I even got my first thai massage right on the beach. Yesterday I traveled with a Californian boy named Brain and a British girl named Lauren to Koh Phi Phi. The island is so beautiful and it's filled with all kinds of people. Last night we just spent the night walking up and down the beach dancing through different bars. I'm really enjoying my time so far although while meeting new friends I increasingly miss my old friends back home. I'm excited to see Sydney, she arrives in Bangkok on April 1st so I just need to hold out until then. I think I'll try to find a new island soon, one with less crowded beaches and calmer people. But for now I will definitely enjoy where I am, especially because almost everyone on this island is extremely good looking.
