15-18/des Had rin & party

After swiming a little bit, enough to clean our faces, we decide to go south of the island, to had rin, probably the most turistic part of the area, but many things are happening here,so you always finish there. The alternative would be to rent a motorbike, and come here every night, risking our lives on the roads, and with some alcohol as well in our bodies... No way!! I thing is worth staying in had rin, and they think the same way.
Had rin is full of restaurants, bars, clubs, travel agencies, internet, shops... I know that is not what we think when we dream about thailand. But a part from these facilities, this is a cheaper place to be, because of the competition. Even if there is a kind of mafia, and they try to fix the prices. One example would be internet. 4 times more expensive than in bangkok. But the room cheaper, as the food... And it's also a nice place. It's placed at the very south of the island, and in had rin, it get very thin, and the, thinck again. So, in 300 meter, you have 2 beaches. One is the sunrise beach, obviously on the eastern part, where all the discos and bars are. The one on the western side is the sunset beach. And that makes it nice, because if you go out, you could see the sunrise, at 6am, or after playing volley ball, at 6pm, the sunset. Night here are quite crazy, because of the buckets. They sell a small bottle of whiskey, red bull and coke for 3 euro, and 2 or 3 people can share that. So everyone is quite drunk, even if this doesn't create big problems. Everyone is dancing till late at night, with different kinds of music, and of curse, on the beach. And I'm enjoying a lot, I love to dance here, and people says that I do it good!! Also some girls has come to talk to ne saying that!!! ;-)
We used to buy bottles and drink in the corridor of our guest house, right in the center of the town, 2,5 euro. Not bad. From there you can see the main road.
You can also see a lot of thai prostitues, but nos as in bangkok.
80 % of the people are from western countries, and from these westerners, 50 % are israelis. The rest english and swedish.
The first night was quite crazy for all of us, but for me, a little bit more. I was jumping through a fire circle many times, and fortunatelly nothing bad happened. Another nice thing of this beach, is that in every single bar or disco, you can see people with poi (with fire) or playing with a bar with fire as well... amazing!!!! (malabars)
So depending on the nights, days were more or less long, but always nice because of the people we were with. During the day, we were playing frisbee, volley ball, walking on our hands, or just lay down, with a book. Nice life. In a way, I felt as I was living a kind of hollidays from my real trip!!
All days are quite similar. Only the people is changing. I had dinner one night with 2 israeli girls from tel aviv. Here is so easy to meet people, because everyone wants the same.
