Status Update - Koh Phangan

Location: Koh Phangan Island, Thailand

I have just arrived on the island of Koh Phangan, off the eastern coast of Thailand. Getting here from Malaysia was quite a journey, I was travelling for about 20 hours yesterday.

Unfortunately, things aren't great. A large abrasion on my toe has got infected, its all swollen and pus-filled and quite disgusting really. I have been to the hospital, and its been cleaned up and bandaged, and I have some anti-biotics to take. Unfortunately I need to keep the wound very clean and dry, so I can't swim or walk in the sand. And technically because I am taking anti-biotics, I shouldn't drink either. So in a nutshell, I am on an island beach paradise, world reknown for its nightlife and partying, and I can't do anything! The bitter sting of irony...

It will mean I will have a lot of time to just relax. This island is quite developed, so internet access is available, so expect this blog to be brought back up to date! Hopefully a friend I met on the Perhentian Islands will be arriving tomorrow, so at least I will have someone to hang out with.
