Originally we were going to take the train down the peninsula to the Southern Islands, but alas, they were all booked solid for the next few days. So, instead we booked some last-minute discount plane tickets to fly down to Surat Thani.
This morning we packed up, checked out, and headed for the airport. The flight itself was uneventful, and when we arrived there was a bus ready to take us to the Ferry Terminal for the trip to Ko Phangan. The ferry trip went smoothly as well; though as we approached the island, there was an ominous wall-cloud of rain around it.
We checked in to some small bungalows just on the outskirts of Hat Rin, the party town on the southern tip of the island. The rustic beach-front bungalows here definitely makes it seem like you're living in a post-card fantasy, and its less than $10 a night.
It costs less to hang out in a beach-front bungalow surrounded by coconut trees and before a white sand beach and azure sea than it does to spent a night at a campground in Alaska: life is good.

Glad to hear you made it down South without being attacked by those sneaky touts!
You must be benefiting from low season with those beach front room rates.
Haiku, ummmmm, not bad for your first effort but, don't quit your day job. Oh wait, you did, didn't you! New career potentially?
