Just seen it again the film with wots his name...Picasso? Anyway the place [beach] Is just like Anjuna Beach in Goa during the 70's u could build a hut an live on the beach no problem. People did people did.
Anjuna used to have a community of travelers often staying for months at a time. It wuz a beautiful place, beach blue sea & I never saw a Shark! Mozzies did not like the salt in the sea air so stayed away from the beach...Luvly.
Every Full Moon & Sunday people would have a beach party this American had built a stage with a sound system. The locals would sell beer tea coffee cakes etc u sat on mats laid out either side of the stage. I used to sleep outside under a palm tree rather than sleep inside barrack style lol. I don't tink anyone snored but dis is quite a story as it goes.... Anyway gonna tell y'all another time dis is about the film The Beach with Leanord di Caprio [tanks Bogey]
Right it gets FRIGGIN HOT for 4 to 6 months of the year an it ain't no picnic. The rain comes down for 3-4 days an u is stuck. Drives people little crazy an the heat before the rains. So HOT man u gotta be insane to stay thru dat voluntary like. I woulda thought one could be in a better place if given a choice..
I'm being Sarcastic [sarkey] An in Thailand the Mozzies are about. I would have thought apart from Tampons/Batteries people woulda asked for Tiger Balm an Incense.
Anyway I found a quiet beach on Koh Samui 20/30 minutes bike ride from Chaweng.
But went thru shite staying in Lamai then stuck on a beach in Kho Pang yang where the hut wuz expensive with no where else free. Lucky in one way not in another since I'd palled up with dis German Journalist an we had a lotta fun having Social Experiments i.e. We would go into a shop bargain summin down to the minimum price, pay for it then leave without the article. We laughed on dat one [in reality we'd forgotten it] but he suffered from Tinnitus an there wuz nowhere to dance at night I didn't drink. Even spent a night on the beach cos no room at the Inn lol..Beautiful night the clouds were incredible but 6.30am rise an I'm not sixteen an it's not Anjuna.
There is a Beach from Ko Pang Yang but it's for ex Junkies ex life had enuff people. How do I know dis [possibly]
During this visit to Thailand I had not left England for many years & was only two months clean from a twenty year habit. So I was just a little white [a lot] An I had bad skin discoloration around my feet an calf's. With blotches from dose moments you miss? Know wot I mean? A Tattoo dat says Junkie lol. The situation where I found out about it goes like dis...Since hitting the Island of Koh Samui all I'd found wuz madness. So I'm sitting in the back of a Songtau [open jeep]..With these two girls on my right [plus people on the other side] I look over an one of these young girls [the snobby one] is looking at my legs with a look of like 'revoltion' her friend wuz not so judgemental...Anyway I say to her "you didn't go through it" whilst saying don't judge with my eyes. It wuz a good reply when the Songtau stopped we're getting our stuff of the roof an I say to dis American guy "I'm jus looking for some space to chill" an he replies "I know exactly wot u mean" an then describes how to get to dis beach where yor left alone jus like it used to be on Anjuna before my sojourn into addiction.
Yeah wanna cop out Koh Pang Yang is a start. At the time of the Full Moon Party a boat arrives...Das all I'm saying.....
Bogey: I bought some T Shirts from the Tourist Police saying 'Full Moon Tourist Police' on the back the same as they wear according to them [Tourist Police] Never went to a Full Moon Party. To old an loads of stories bout people getting grief over a joint! Fuck dat.
Yeah beach life can be a lotta fun.

What's a Mozzie? I think I was following you until that point, but honestly, being American, I'm a bit slow on the uptake with the accent. Sorry about that.
