Ban Phe, Thailand

---

At long, long last I'm going to try and update this blog and post some photographs.

It's now 20th April 2006, almost four months since I last blogged, since I left London basically.

This series covers my time in Ban Phe, Thailand where I did a TEFL course for 4 weeks in January. Ban Phe is a stange little place on the coast, south of Bangkok, that most people pass through to catch the ferry to Ko Samet. Almost like a catchment area for stange expats and weird, and wonderful locals, Ban Phe is a place I won't forget in a hurry.

Su.
This is Su who runs one of the beach bars, with her cats. One cat was later to go missing, killed by a one-armed Cambodian fisherman.
