Last April, Joanne and her best friend, Sally, planned a 5-day getaway to mark 5 years of their friendship. It was an annual thing for them to go out of Bangkok for a couple of days. It felt like an opportune time to explore the southern wonders of Thailand, being foreigners themselves.The anticipation kicked up a notch when Sally accidentally picked up a new tourist handbook lying on the sidewalk on her way home one afternoon. "Koh Phangan" was the title, a place they've never even heard of. Apparently, the island is just above Koh Samui, taking more than 12 hours to reach. It created so much fuss between the two friends that they instantly decided to go there for the Songkran holiday (also known as the Thai new year). They scouted different beaches online for almost a month and finally settled for Asia Bungalows, a white sand beach resort directly facing west. And so, they looked forward to enjoying beautiful sunsets, peace and quiet at the cozy resort.
