We are back in Bangkok to catch our plane tomorrow. We had a good two weeks here in Thailand. After Phi Phi Island we went to two other islands, Ko Pha-Ngan and Ko Samui. Ko Pha-Ngan was crowded and is known for its full moon parties. We had fun hanging out and meeting other travelers. We went to a "muy thai" (thai boxing) fight. We sat ring side and watched some pretty good fights. Almost everything is legal! It was very entertaining to see the whole crowd get into it and make bets. It was also interesting to see the cultural aspect of muy thai. Before the fight begins, the boxers walk the perimeter of the ring to seal out evil spirits, and then they do a spiritual dance to protect them from harm and injury.
Next we went to a beautiful resort at Ko Sumui. Here we just relaxed!
Tomorrow we fly to Dublin!
