Ko Pha-Ngan

We went from one of the most least known tourist spots in Thailand to one of the best. Ko Pha-Ngan is an island about 2 hours off the coast of Thailand. We decided to go there for the new year because it is home to one of the largest beach parties in the world. The only problem was as usual we did not have a plan. We decided about 2 days before we went to maybe try and call to see if we could get a room. We called every place in our budget in the travel guide that we had and there was absolutely no rooms available it seemed. Most of the people acted like we where crazy for calling so late. They said "Do you know how busy we are this time year" They really though we where crazy but we knew we wanted to go. So oddly enough while we where in Bangkok we had a met a random German guy who said that we worked at a bar on the island. We got his number we decided to call him and it turned out he had a place for us to stay it was really awesome you just meet someone randomly and how things worked out we where really lucky. So we show up and he has this awesome bungelow for us that is about 100 yards away from the beach. It was really nice because we where on the other side of the island away from the huge crowds it amazing and when we got there we found out that some of the other people that we had met in Bangkok had done the same thing. So we ended staying with a bunch of people that we already knew it was awesome. One of the best places on this little part of the island was Handsome Sandwitches. It was run by a crazy Thai guy and they had the best hamburgers in Thailand. We would eat these things ever night after we got done drinking and almost every morning when we woke up they where truly awesome. They made them in this tiny shack that was in the middle of this small village it was really cool.
