These last few days Koh Tao has been extremely quiet. This is because the majority of backpackers are on the neighbouring island of Koh Pha Ngan. Once a month at the full moon, the island becomes a massive party ground with a beach party held on the night of the full moon and lots of different parties held on the nights running up to the full moon. The day after however, everyone packs up and heads to Koh Tao. Every restaurant has gone from having one or two customers to being full. There is not a spare bed on the island. Groups of people are wandering around, backpacks on desperately trying to find somewhere to stay. There is an organised pub crawl here, and for the first time in 6 months all 200 tickets were sold out and extra people were tagging on. You can imagine how this has affected the serenity of the place. So despite finding the best poach eggs I have eaten in a long time (not to mention the view) I have decided to move on. I am going to Kho Pha Ngan. If all the revellers are over here, over there must be quiet...
