Full Moon Party



We start the day hiking over to Ao Phra Nang with all our climbing gear through all the tourists sunbathing on the beach. We get to an amazing cave and climb through it to an opening in the other side of the cliff. We snap some photos before rappelling down to the Thaiwand Wall.

Up a bamboo ladder and out on a ledge, we climb a really cool exposed route called Fit to Be Thaid 6A. The start of the climb traverses out over a drop, and then ascends up some really cool tufa formations. You can see my feet dangling from the top in the photos.






After hiking back to Tonsai through the jungle in the dark with our headlamps, we get some dinner and then meet up for the full moon party. All the bars on the beach spin either loud reggae or trance music and set off fireworks over the water. We dance, drink beer, and watch the poi jugglers spin flaming spirals through the air.
