It was sad to leave Pai but I had to leave since I absolutely had no gear with me.  Headed back to Chang Mai to crappy SK guest house.  Got there and settled my bill and got the next flight back to Bangkok where I started.  The 3 hour wait at the airport really licked - I almost wish I had a rubix cube. So the plane ride was super sketchy - the plane shut down 3 times, yeah you heard man, it shut down 3 times when they tried to play the safety thing on the TV.  Hell I don't know about flying if they can't even power a few TV's.  I am pretty nervous and this close to freaking out and telling them to let me off the plane.  Finally after the 4th try, ... read more

Woke up quite early and decided to hit Central Mall to do some shopping.  Do yourself a favour and pass on this place, it's like a Yohan Center in Richmond.  There are 3 things I have notice about thailand that has stayed constant with me through my travel. 1.  The abundance of lady boys 2.  Dogs are just everywhere laying on the road like land mines, it's pretty hard to tell if they are dead or just laying there from heat exhausting 3.  Cell Phone stores and 7-11's are like starbucks backhome....there is like one i every block it seems. Anyways so the night is pretty chill, I find it hard to plan out the rest of my trip.  I have about 5 days left, not long enough to do anything crazy but also not short enough to ... read more

So it was fun in the south but I was getting tired of the south beach bum life. I think if I stayed there any longer, I would of been a permenant fixture at the Great Bay. It's dangereous when you have hammocks all over within an arm reach length. I checked out of the Primada and went to the Great Bay to say bye to the guys. Phil, Viv, laura and rose asked me to go to chang mai with them, so I agreed. I toke a long ass ferry ride to sari thani, and on the boat decided to change plans and did a run for from the english girls and swapped with a canadian and aussie. I told katie and anna I meet them at chang mai, we all had different transportation, they ... read more

Last night me and SQL Dan moved out of the Great Bay Resort and made our way to Primada Inn.  This place is so much cleaner then the place we had.  It felt like a zoo in our last bungalow with big gekko's and frogs visitting us throughout the night.  We finally feel at ease not being eaten alive or some bigger creatures coming by and decide to kick some ass.  We must of been a big retard trying to walk from the Great Bay to Primada b/c it was a good 45 minute trek and I had so much gear on my back.  Finally gave up and a taxi bus stopped to pick us up, these buses only run every hour so if you miss it you're abit screwed. Well we got on and the ... read more

So we all managed to wake up at a reasonable hour and booked a 3 hour session with Lay to do some snorkelling. It was an amazing feeling seeing some corel and swimming with the fishes.  It's like you're their big brother and they jsut tag along with you for the ride.  Lay was pretty cool, we befriended him and he toke us cliff diving.  I was still hungover and the choppy water near the cliff made me want to hurl.  Ent and Bazooka Joe (Griff's new nickname in Thailand) climbed up the cliff with Lay and jumped off.  Ent of course wanted to climb higher and ended up buggering up his ear drum. Rest of the day has been recovery from the night before - I have no idea how I managed to snorkel with a hangover.  The experience is overwhelming how awesome it is to ... read more
