Our last day in Koh Chang (my birthday) we spent riding elephants and touring the island, then we had a nice dinner and partied. Its safe to say it was the best birthday of my life.
This is how the Thais sell gasoline on the island, in glass jars:
Iain took us to the Koh Chang Father Wat, a chinese temple to pay homage and say a prayer in respect of Koh Chang by lighting candles and incense. Jen said this is especially good luck to do on your birthday.

and Asa from Maine:
Got more travelling tips and got more drunk. Sitting in the treehouse drinking all of a sudden a very inebriated Thai guys runs over to me and sings me Happy Birthday. Turns out he was the cook at the restaurant who made the cake, we all laughed, and got drunk.
I was a bit nervous to ride the elephant, especially when I saw this:
Holy shit you dont see that everyday. That belongs to a massive elephant named Rambo that we thankfully did not ride. We had two nice older females but I never caught their names, bitches.
The top of their heads had black hairs sporadically sprouting up, kind of reminded me of my dad.
The Thai elephant handler caught a great video of us-http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QCX1eL2gxHg
After the elephants we went for a night swim to cool off and watch the fire baton twirlers from the water, so rad. 
Later Iain and Jen bought me a latern for my birthday. You light the bottom and it sails into the air over the ocean, was very pretty.

Well in Thailand they dont really have things like birthday cakes, so it ended up being a pancake with bannanas and flower petals spread all over, tasted yummy!
After dinner we went to our two favorite beach bars Nature and Treehouse. We saw off the Canadian girls, Paul and Hannah from England and Laslo the creepy eyed weirdo bartender. Also met new people, Alan from England:

We are now back at Kao San road:
Tomorrow we continue to the next leg of our journey, Vietnam to Loas, then to Cambodia and back to Thailand. Wish us luck, hope to post again soon!
