 Sawadee Khrap and a very rainy welcome to Koh Phangan Island News, the one and only online magazine offering fresh and up-to-date news from the island of madness in the Gulf of Thailand.
Well … it’s raining a lot on Koh Phangan at the moment and therefore it’s probably a good time to introduce you to some more wicked topics the island of madness has to offer.
The whole story started a few months back after finishing lunch at my most favorite Isaan restaurant close to Thongsala. Filled up with fresh Som Tum papaya salad, Nam Tok Muu & some saticky rice and ready to pay the bill, Pii Nui, the mother of Pii Don, asked me if I do believe in spirits, ghosts and that sort of stuff? Abso-fucking-lutely I replied …
Then Pii Nui showed me a few photographs which had been taken recently when her son Pii Don held a healing ceremony with one of his patients. And the photographs were indeed quiet bizarre with all those orange light strings and that green illuminating thingy behind Pii Don. Something accomplished with the new Adobe Photoshop CS4?
However … as Becki is always interested in that other wicked multi dimensional stuff I realized that I had to dig deeper to get to the core of the story. So I arranged a few meetings with my friend Pii Don to receive some more insights to find out the awful truth!

 Koh Phangan Island News headquarters just received another great personal experience from the island of madness, formerly also known as Koh Phangan Paradise Island.
At 9pm on Wednesday 13th August, I went to meet some friends off one of the two Raja car ferries coming to the Lomprayah pier in Thongsala, the 6.30 from Samui (very late again), the last boat from Suratthani.
I was waiting at the pier with about 40 taxis with drivers, all of them waiting to force themselves upon the poor tired relentless Farang arriving on the island for the forth coming Full Moon Party. When all of a sudden there was a almighty bang and crash with the sound of metal bending and twisting against the concrete pillars that support the pier, and the whole pier shook. Yes, once again the boat came in too fast and couldn't stop in time and slammed into the pier causing so much damage to the boat, that it had twisted the metal between the boat and the ramp that comes down from the boat to the pier, to let the passengers and the cargo off.
When they tried to drop the ramp, nothing, it was jammed shut tight. So they spent the next twenty minutes scratching heads and blaming each other for yet another accident. Then some bright spark decided to get a chain and some pulleys and try and force it apart by looping the chain around the corner of the damaged part of the ramp and then the other end to the concrete pier post it crashed into.

 Koh Pha-Ngan December 18, 2005. The catamaran was replaced by the ferry due to bad weather out on the open sea.
An hour later, we woke up by some horrible noise (which someone said was due to the big waves hitting the ferry), and that the ferry was seriously tilting to the babord side. People begun to feel a bit uneasy and it didnt get better by the American arriving from the cardeck saying: Relax people, its gonna be ok, its only water on the cardeck causing the tilting!!
Suddenly, the thaigirls that minutes earlier were selling water and sandwitches in the cafe came running to the back starting to throw lifewest to everyone! There wasnt any info on the loudspeaker, and some people nearly panicked. I went down to the cardeck and saw that two of the staff was using littercans to drain the boat of water.
Jesus, are there no waterpumps on this ferries?

So we've fallen in love with K.P. and want to live there permanently!
Well … Becki got it reconfirmed from many different reliable island sources the last couple of days. The sad news on Koh Phangan is that another good soul has left this dimension!
It was an ordinary Friday when I lost you Luke
I got up as usual went to work as usual
but I have never had an as usual day since Friday 23rd April 04
Just a warning. The full moon party can turn into a very bad experience very quickly. Please be aware of who you are with, what you are taking and remember , you are guests in a foreign country, someones home!
Hoooo … recently some people contacted me and asked or sort of complained about the “mostly negative” articles posted on this website. Well … it’s not that I make up these stories in my mind .. all of this is actually happening here and so I just inform the public about.
