The first two months on that island were incredible! It was almost the best vacation of my life but I was actually being paid for it. Every morning we would go on day trips to different parts of the island or to others nearby. It's one of those things, that while I was doing it I loved it; unfortunately, ‘island fever’ is real. Thinking back, (it sounds stupid, selfish and unappreciative of me, I know) but as amazing as it was, after a few months you really want off the island and can't think of anything but to complain. I'm glad I finally fulfilled my dream of living on a beautiful remote island, but maybe you'd be better off just going there as a tourist or for no more than 12 weeks at a time. A ‘dream job’ is - at the end of the day - still a job, and as humans we can get tired of anywhere, no matter how gorgeous.

Back to Koh Phangan and the ‘Full Moon Party’.

“Possibly the greatest party on Earth”, according to Maxim Magazine, ‘The Full Moon Party’ on Koh Phangan, Thailand is the only place on Earth you can go out, get laid, go to sleep, wake up a few hours later and get laid again.

When I first read the article (five years before I ever set foot in Thailand) I thought to myself, wow, really? I tried figuring out what the island would look like and where you would sleep; in my mind it was a tiny island with no hotels on it, just a lush, tropical, deserted island - with no facilities. Turns out I was a bit wrong on what the island itself looks like but, one thing holds true, it's quite possibility the best place on Earth to have a one night stand.

I mentioned the first time I went to the party I hooked up with an English girl and then ended up with a Thai girlfriend for the rest of the week. Well, I didn't learn my lesson and have been back quite a few more times. To me, the FMP is an escape from my daily life of training Muay Thai and MMA, or scuba diving when I was working in that field.

While everyone else on Koh Tao went out every night until 2 in the morning, I was in bed by 10 p.m. I hardly ever hooked up on Koh Tao even though it was an island full of young backpacker tourists. The few times I did, it was the same story as everyone else: I went out to a bar to pre-party, moved down to the beach to watch the Thai guys spinning fire, while also moving on to harder liquor fueled by Red Bull and Thai whiskey. We'd party until 3 or 4 in the morning - sometimes even staying up to watch the sunrise - and then, in a drunken state, I’d pull a girl back to my room and hookup. Then the next day, I'd feel like shit and have to go to work.
