So we finally left Phuket but not after a night of craziness.  You're going to be dissapointed b/c I am sealed from writing anything on this blog about it.  My lawyers here have told me I am bound under the Fear and Loathing Act - What happens in thailand, stays in Thailand.  I won't talk about the other boys but I'll just say I ended up having two girls stalk me and I had to get out of there.  So after Phuket we went to Krabi - we heard rai ley was great so we toke a boat there.  We got there and it wasn't waht we thought it was - and it was damn expensive.  So we toke another boat out of there and headed to this other place, near Krabi.  My camera got damaged from ... read more

So I woke up and you guys still haven't checked in.  I thought I take another swag at finding the Phuket hospital.  One thing for sure, you learn alot to have patience over here, you can't exactly multi-task. Zenning mode:  I am the first victim of blogging on the NET and having it dissapear, I think this usually happens when I use dial up, so if this is a repeat entry, ignore it. It toke me 2 hours to find a callign card, and then another hour to find an international phone.  These bad boys do not have one lick of ventilation because I was in the booth for 15 minutes talking to the international operator and was just soaked in sweat.  Felt like a steamed pork dumpling - and I think I started to mumble ... read more

Zenning IN:  The last time I had one of these episodes, I was sitting in winnipeg and my dad had a 3 minute talk with me and long story very short, I moved to vancouver and lived on my own for the next 11 years. Zenning OUT:  So I am on my way out of Phuket town and was hounded by taxi's and tuk tuk's for 200 baut.  I fianlly found a bus that toke me to Karon, decided last minute not to go to patong, not my style for 20 baut. This one guy, darren almost missed the bus and he sat with me.  We were the only travellors so we chatted it up for about 3 minutes.  Darren is a fitness instructor and was based in Japan for a year but his home was ... read more

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  arrow pointing at me saying tourist over here, pls rip me off. Word of advice:  ALWAYS ask how much things are first before taking it, whether it be service or food.  Because when you don't, ... read more

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 and the ring announcers kept telling the guy to bite the snake.  I told him about my harrison hot spring aka Ass pond story so we got a good laugh.  The frenchies, sebastian (please say ... read more
