me and kate
at Bamboozle restaurant before hitting the beach in haad rin We met Shevaun, the founder of PAC last Wednesday, she came over from Hong Kong where she lives and we all went for a meal, as in the PAC clinic staff past and present......Shevaun is very nice and a great laugh. She is staying at Chokana, the same resort as us.
Sally and I had walked back from Seethanu on Friday, from Cafe Wan (friend John from Swindon's cafe/restaurant) and walked along the coast, we found some great beaches and a nice hammock and had a swing on that.
Friday evening Kate and I went to Haad Rin and met up with Christel and Emma, they had gone up Thurs night and booked a bungalow with 2 double beds, Friendly Bungalows. We found them monging out in the beds watching movies, with a big hangover from bucket abuse the night before! we all watched movies and then went out for a mexican dinner. after, christel went back as she felt ill, and the 3 of us hit the beach armed with a bucket. we danced for hours at the beach and had a great evening, but somewhere along the way my drink got spiked and i dont remember too
much about it! kate noticed and took me off home, she stopped off at the medical clinic as she was really worried but they didnt really want to know, and just said that it happens all the time and people usually get their bags or wallets stolen this way. Anyway, christel and kate sat up with me most of the night and i was pretty ill. apparently at some point i spotted the PIG (tracey trotter) and announced 'i know that pig' and then cracked up hysterically laughing for ages pointing at the pig and muttering pig related stuff. i have no recollection of this unruly behavior! i was sick (lovely) and eventually passed out. i dont remember it but was rough as bums the next day, we went back home the next day after a day on the beach and Kate kipped over with me at Chokana back in Thong Sala.
Sunday 17 Feb - kate's last night, we went to Jumunjy, with Emma, Rob and Christel. Emma and Rob went off to Haad Yao for the night and kate me and christel watched Crash in the cinema at jumunjy, Kate kipped over my place again.
Monday
18th, me and christel went for breakfast with kate at Yellow Hat cafe at the pier and waved her off on the boat. We were treated to a delightful show of an old farang with his thai bar girl saying goodbye. they sat for ages being gross and obscene as he slobbered over her and shoved his manky old tongue down her gob and generally got himself felt up while waiting for the ferry, then blew salivery kisses to her as his sad old ass was sailing off into the sunset. she toddled off to meet her next appointment im sure within an hour or two of his leaving ha ha. i love you - only one, me good girl. send me the money and i give up working. yeah yeah yeah
So then i went off to the clinic to work there for the day so that Emma could have a day off with Rob. Sally and Por were in - had a lovely day, really great to be back working at the clinic. best job ive ever had.
pizza for dinner in Farang Street with girls, then they went to watch the muay thai boxing and
i went home as not really interested in that.
Tues 19th
We had a fund raising day in Haad Rin for PAC, christel and i walked from Harmony beach, and it took us about an hour along the coast to reach haad rin, we sold some raffle tickets on the beach and there were a few other people helping us, we had the draw at 5pm, but it went a bit pear shaped as it started to pour down with rain and we ran for cover, it all happened in the end tho. christel and i went and watched a few episodes of friends and had some food before going back home at 9.30pm. christel not feeling too well and has a temperature, i gave her some paracetamol.
Weds 20th
Worked at Pac again as Christel not well, worked with Emma, was really great and enjoyed it again. Jo came in for the day as a day volunteer. She is from Bristol and staying at Chokana til after full moon party, really nice girl and she was a great help to me.
PAC fund raising party on Malibu beach in the evening (Chaloklum) so borrowed
christel's bike to get there as she was still unwell and didnt go. Danced for ages on the beach (there was a london DJ there) and played frisbee for hours! me and sally played for a long while as well and got covered in sand from heroic diving catches. im crap at throwing mind. Left there around 2am and gave sheena lift home.
Friday 22nd Feb
Went to Haad Rin, with Charlie (new vet volunteer from San Diego), Jo and her friend Johnson who is south african and over for the full moon party. There are elections on so no legal drinking or partying. The bars were closed and no lights and music on but the beach was packed and we got buckets and beer from the shop there and had a great night on the beach. Charlie and Johnson got mangled on their first bucket experience which we found amusing, but eventually we were all mangled! had a brill night and lost the others! (as usual, i always lose everyone on that beach), still - spent the rest of the night talking to american bloke, Darren and went home around 5 or 6am. Full moon party on Sunday.
me and sheena booked our tickets to bangkok - for monday so we can go to our 6th and last full moon party.
Sat 23rd
Caught up with Charlie Jo and Johnson on the beach in the morning, we were all a bit worse for wear and monged out all day, we walked up to vantanas for lunch, sausage and egg sanga - yum yum, and wandered back down to thong sala. we booked johnson's trip to bangkok for monday too, he will be on the same trip as me and sheena. we also hired a couple of bikes for a day as fed of walking in the heat! the 4 of us went to jumunjy in the evening, ate dinner there and watched a film in the cinema bit, it was Freddy got Fingered, and was really crap. i fell asleep and so did Johnson! a relatively early night around 1am. Charlie working tomorrow.
Sun 24th,
started to pack my mammoth rucksack, my clothes have reproduced and there seems to be an awful lot of stuff.
popped to vantana for grub with jo, and will finish packing and then prepare for full moon party festivities tonight! my memory card seems to have died so not much in the way of pics going on.
