Step Away from this Toilet
If you recognize this green pail and yellowish water, use is ill advised. Just turn around and act like you saw nothing.Title is lame I know, but besdies the point, I've had enough of Bangkok for the time being and thought the time has come for the big hitters of my trip. Given I didn't know what the heck I was doing or where to go and what to do I sought for help from friends I met online. Originally I was planning on taking a 1 hour plane ride there, but I was convinced by how much money I can save taking a bus. She also had a friend who lives and works there she knew from college who was going to pick me up and take care of my hotel situation. So I took a bunch of random taxi's, vans, and city busses to get to the bus station that would take me to phuket. The journey to the bus station was long and intense, some areas of bangkok had mad pollution and I was on an open air bus stuck in traffic. I took short quick breaths instead of normal lengthy ones. For a moment I thought I was going to black out from the lack of oxygen for sure but it looks like my 6 months of intense
Width of a Hair
Standing? What's that? Shower caps? physical, mental, and emotional training persevered. I bought the earliest VIP ticket to phuket cause I'm a baller. I leave at 6pm which means I'll arrive at 6am the next day. So I walked over to the nearest convenience store and stocked up on items for my long journey, or snacks as some of you from USA might call it. Ok mayb thais don't call it items either but I play alot of videogames and thought it would make my entries sound interesting. And speaking of videogames they had a ps2 set up like an arcade so you had to pay to play. Some guys were playing soccer which seems to be the only sport played in thailand and the only thing on tv. I decided to give some of these natives a run for their money so I paid in full and chose team USA of course. I gotta represent my click yo. I played everyone in the room who wanted a piece. Lost every game. So much for liberty. Anyways my bus came, It was pretty big, huge windows all over so I can see the country side, tv's reclining seats, the works. They served us snacks and
Memorial
This piece had a bunch of small figures looking out into the ocean. drinks. They gave us this bread that was green and I don't know bout you guys but when I see green on my bread it goes in the dumpster. So I tucked it under my blanky. About half an hour into the ride they started playing a movie. It was that blockbuster hit movie Daredevil, starring some famous actor named Ben Afflect who had a big chin or something I dunno. I've never seen the movie so I was kinda excited and thinking "now they're talking my language" Long story short they dubbed the movie in thai so I didn't understand anything then I imagined I was in a backstreet boys video and grabbed some sand really hard and cried. When I woke up we stopped for a bathroom break and a free dinner the food was weird so I didn't eat wasnt that hungry anyways. The bathroom was interesting when I walked in I saw a square tub of water and this bowl built into the ground. my first thought of the little bowl on the ground was "okay why would I want to wash my feets?" Well the water in the tub was pretty yellow already so I
Showing Who's Boss at Patong Beach
At night there's a bunch of lights, motorcycles, people etc... went pee in it. Turned out the tub of water is used to manually drain the toilet bowl in the ground which explains the little pail. I slept the rest of the way and arrived at 7am if my memory serves me correct. A friend's friend whom I've never met picked me up at the bus station I just told her to tell him I'm wearing an all black SD hat plan worked and he took me to a small hotel that was cheap but nice I liked it. This place was pretty much like my home for the next week. Moo and I unloaded my stuff and checked out the craftsmanship of the place then headed off to patong beach. That day was super windy. I could lean forward the width of a human hair and not fall. There was a bunch of artistic memorials of the tsunami that happened a year ago. Walked around ate a lil sumthin sumthin then went back to rest from my bus lag. I was excited to lay down on a bed after travelling for hours on bus. Jumped on the bed. bad move, the firmness of the bed reminded me of a

Just bicn bac bein boo at the mall. Check out my peach fuzz getting kinda long. And hell naw I ain't cuttin my hurr. slab of limestone with soem sheets and a headboard on a bed frame. Good thing I trained physically, mentally, and emotionally, for the last six months. It was quite comfortable aftera few hours. These beds or....weapons....in other's perspective were no match for my chiseled abs. Went to the mall later that night and ate some garlic ribs with Moo at a restaurant called S&P. Damn that ish was bomb at that like almost everyday. Then went back to my air conditioned crib to relax and feed the mosquitos. Next day I did pretty much the same thing mall, ribs, home, but I went out for the nightlife at patong beach. It's crazier at night alot of people, foreigners, lady boys, u name it we got it. I just walked around and feasted my eyes didn't wanna get too yaded I'm leaving for koh phi phi tommorrow.
