It didn't take me and Seb long to settle in here. We are situated on a lovely beach called Haad Yuan, and we couldn't have chosen a better spot. This secluded beach has a steady flow of interesting, spiritual travellers coming through mostly due to the health spa - The Sanctuary, and the Blooming Lotus studio. The laws are lax here, because it takes a boat to get the police here, and apparently they don't come down this route much. In fact I haven't seen one cop down here yet.
The oceans are turquoise, and the music is amazing. The people are really friendly, and Seb and I have met a wicked couple from Ireland who just may be my travel companions to Laos, vietnam and cambodia. We are the only Canadians here, and a lot of the travellers we've met have been coming here for years!
The night that we landed there was a huge gay wedding going at at the Sanctuary. These guys had a huge Vegas style wedding with everyone decked out in neon colors, sparkles, glitter and gorgeous accoutrements. We went to check it out, and they had a d.j. playing, with a dance stage right on the beach. It reminded us of one of the beach stages at Soundwave last summer.
The music was bumpin'. Then we met this dude who made us promise to go to Geys Bar. He was wearing these awesome glittery red pants - and so of course we trek through the forest about ten minutes to get there, and it was a full on club night. Usually the beach is a lot quieter than it was when we arrived. But because of the wedding, it had a surreal atmosphere. Needless to say - it was such a blast.
