Ent you better had a pretty good haircut to make me blow a day in Phuket town. There is nothing to do here except walk to the town square which is pretty much the size of Brentwood mall. Anyways, I am leaving the Talang Guesthouse tmr and will be heading to Patong tommorrow where the beach and night life is. I have to admit there is no travellors around in site but there are alot of young local kids, this is pretty much as local as you can get. I am going to look for trouble, hopefully I will meet up [View Full Entry]

I am going to miss this city but I have been summon by the Ent and Mr Hockey to Phuket.  I didn't do awhole lot last night, these past 5 days has been full days of activities which can quite stressful on the body.  So I got another thai massage and made sure I didn't pass out in the chair this time.  I didn't get a chance to meet Frank and Melissa so I ended up hanging around the market and doing some last minute shopping before heading out. Nothing too exciting except I couldn't find my guesthouse last night.  I [View Full Entry]

Good choice Griff, I am in the middle of nowhere.  This pretty much is the old part of Phuket and there is no travellors in site.  I walked around for about 3 hours and saw one foreigner, this is pretty much as boonie ville as you can get.  It's strange walking around because in a way I should blend in with my black hair but the ppl here are 5 shades darker then me.  That and probably wasn't the best idea to walk around with my Lonely planet book.  It was like carrying a big ass yellow page that had an  [View Full Entry]

Woke up and had breakfast with the Canadian girls one last time and said our goodbyes.  They wanted me to email them when I get to Kho Panyang but I will fake a seizure that day.  I am finally free from the claws of estrogen but I still have my rash =( On the bus, I met some new travellers - 2 frenchies and 2 aussies.  Frank and Melissa are really cool (aussies), they are on their honey moon and they had some funny stories to tell, like how they saw this snake show but it was really with 4 ppl [View Full Entry]

First victim of the Mansoon would be the night of the 15th.  I was wondering around the streets with my new found confidence, about 1AM and the stupid mansoon rain hit like a ton of bricks.  Thankfully I had some cover but there was no Tuk Tuk to be found.  Waited for alittle while and a Tuk Tuk stopped with the drivers wife sitting at the back.  I tried to negotiate a price but he kept saying rain rain so which meant he had me by the balls and I would have to fork over some money this time around.  I [View Full Entry]

Slepted through my wake up call and had to skipped my free breakfast because I was suppose to be meeting in the main lobby in 25 minutes. Today is Thai cooking which will take the entire day. The Thai cookingcourse is wicked. We started off at the market and was shown how to pick and prepare fresh veggies and fruits. We toke a 20 minute bus ride to the outskirts at this cooking school ran by two brothers.  They are apparently really good in Chang Mai.  I learnt how to cook all flavour of curry ( the best is Ping Ann [View Full Entry]

Okay so I finally found out what I had. Apparently if you are in the woods for too long under heat and mansoon, you get this nasty shit call Prickley heat. I toke some photo's so I can gross some of you out when I come back. Maybe I'll scan one and post it on this blog during one of your lunch times. =) So what is Prickly heat - pretty much this weird rash that you get because you are sweating too much from the humidity and sun. Your pores gets buggered up and this rash forms that looks like [View Full Entry]

DAY 1 So we split up into 2 cabs going to the Bangkok airport.  I rode with Jenny and we ended up in the International aiport and we didn't even know it.  We kept waiting for the other girls but they were in the domestic area.  Unlike Canada or BC for the matter, Domestic is like an entirely different airport on it's own.  So after about 5 tries, we finally got a cab and we got to the Domestic airport, and we literally had about 2 minutes to get ourself onto the plane.  Jessica pre did our flight intinary so we [View Full Entry]

So i'm pretty hung over at the moment.  I won't be able to post some of the stuff I did last night on here, but those who know me got my email and the details.  Let's just say the next time I go to Pak Pong it will be with Griff and james.  this will be short since my flight is in 1 hour to chang mai - i'll fill everyone inon things when i get back.  I'll be MiA for 4 days b/c of no internet in the jungle.  Next post will be in Phuket with Griff and james.  See [View Full Entry]

So the last I lefted off was at Koh San Road this morning.  Had some breakfast and then waited around to pick up the tickets to Chang Mai at this travel agent somewhere in Bangkok.  That is an understatement - "somewhere", because literally we had no idea where it was.  We asked a bunch of cabbies and they had no idea where it was even though we had the address.  We finally attempted to get there anyways, which probably wasn't smart because it toke us 1.5 hours to find this place and our flight was at 1PM. I was still pretty hungover [View Full Entry]
