After a mad few days in Bankok, we headed to Koh Tao, where, thanks to the patient guidance of one liz bosman (saaarf efriken) i am now a certified open ater diver. Thanks the the dopey rastas at the Rock Bar i managed to chill out a bit, and thanks to the shitty shoe store in bangalamphu in Bankok i have blisters on my toes from the worst flip flops in the world ever.
Anyway, we now find ourselves in koh phan ngang, which is actually kind of shitty and expensive (and whats with all the israelis??? all the shopfronts have hebrew translations???). Sunrise beach (where the full moon parties happen) is kind of cool, but the sun is so harsh, you cant really spend too long there. So, tomorrow we're of to Koh Lanta on the Andaman coast (near-ish to phuket). Should be a bit quiter and a bit more to see. Stay tuned for picture update, AND my new column (replacing the unpopular SMR) "Exotic Fruits of South East asia - A pictorial journey through the sickly sweet treats of the orient". First installment - mangosteens...
Apologies for any spelling errors, i am in a bit of a rush.
Shalom,
Greg
