Thailand :: Koh Phangan

We made it back.


Things that happened

1. We stuffed our faces with Pad Thai, Green Curry, Sweet and Sour tofu, tofu burgers, Thai curry and anything else we could shove down our throats.

2. We did the scuba thing! Jacqui's but landed right on a big piece of coral!

3. Jacqui exploded a sinus.... while scuba diving.... she's fine.

4. We saw ladyboys! Sexy ones! although... Brad is becoming more and more of one so it wasn't all that new.

5. Re-Discovered the hammock

6. Took rides of near death in 4X4's through the damn jungle

7. Saw monkeys and taunted them.

8. Saw big @$$ spiders, gecko's and lizards.

9. only had electricty from 6pm-12pm

10. shack on the beach costs 200 baht per night (6 bucks) if you stay for a month that number drops to a beauty 2 bucks or less.

11. saw some Muay Thai (will post a little video of the action sometime soon)

12. found some very interesting sticks. we are now semi-professional arborists in the particular geographical region.

13. drank a beach pail of whiskey, coke, and red bull... it used to be amphetamines, but now with the ever increasing amount of rules going round... it's red bull.

14. Listened to grateful dead, buena vista social club, nick drake, Beirut, bob marley and bob dylan.

Remember to leave a little message when you visit the site. We love hearing from good ol friends. ciao

Scuba Diving! Isn't that the coolest - how deep? Great trip!

bout 30 metres or so hans. we kinda got shafted a bit. they were supposed to take us to a world famous dive called sail rock near koh tao island. We were supposed to swim 80 metres down a thin rock shaft and then it would open up at the bottom.... but they took on some families of snorkelers and took us somewhere... more friendly. still great though.

So you guys listen to "grateful dead, buena vista social club, bob marley and bob dylan"? 1967 "summer of love" was in my youth, long before. Joni Mitchell sang that "that was just a dream some of us had" but evidently it lives on with you and your friends --- makes me feel happy and hopeful to know this.

change of info! we went down about 30 feet (not metres). not too far down but very fun none the less. maybe we will get our license next time we go... maybe a night dive??? cheerio
