After living it up in Dubai for a week, my travelling journey started to really begin when I arrived in Thailand. Since then I've ventured out exploring the stunning Koh islands which are located on the southern part of the country. Each scenic island has been charming in their own ways and this place is pure paradise! However I'm not here to bore you with a classic description of how great the islands are, I'm sure you know about Thailand and all its beauty. Instead, I'm here to tell you about the best little party I discovered in Koh Phangan...
Throughout the past few days, I've been staying at The Sanctuary, a yoga, healing and detox resort based deep in the jungle on Haad Tien Bay. Tucked away far from all the main avenues on the busy infamous Full Moon party beach, Haad Tien bay is the perfect little island getaway and can only be accessed by a 10 minute long tail boat ride from Had Rin Bay. Once you are sucked into the tropical jungle scenery it's hard to leave this peaceful bubble at the sanctuary; where yoga lovers and peace seekers enjoy the atmosphere of like-mindedness, health, wealth and all-round happiness.
In the midst of my yoga and meditation sessions and relaxing hammock days, I felt the need to let myself go at Guys Bar (a party commencing every Friday night with decent music - FINALLY!) As Guys Bar was situated a 5 minute walk from my bungalow I thought it would have been rude not to attend. Guys Bar has been labelled as the best party in Koh Phangan - for those House music lovers that have had enough of trashy remixed chart hits, overly drunk travellers and not forgetting those deadly alcohol-fuelled buckets. Underground and little known by the mainstream, I really felt at home as soon as I walked into the party.
DJ's spun out revellers into a magical trip of psychedelic trance, House and Electro until the sunny morning with the party ending at 10am. The party was mostly filled by The Sanctuary guests and yogi's, together dancing all in their own cosmic worlds. Those that were tired from their days full of yoga, simply sat on cushioned sofas and observed the hippies of all ages being taken on a hypnotic journey. The place was intimate, with about 150 guests making the party come alive. The music had been the best I've heard in Thailand, with unknown beats embracing each party-goer, carrying them away into a jungle land fantasy.
The groove had me totally captivated and I'm so glad to have found a rave in Thailand away from the stereotypical, full moon party. After a couple of weeks with no decent music, I needed my Techno fix and I finally found it at Guy's Bar!
