... stayed). The next day, our venture began in the evening. It was really great to stroll down the streets with so many shops that sells Thai clothes and souveniers and also some great eateries. However, we didnt buy much. After dinner, we went to Samila Beach which was about 10 minutes away from my hotel. That was my first experience taking a ride on the very famous mean of ...

... took a long tail boat back to Ao Nang, a songthaew to Krabi, a bus to Trang and another bus to Satun. Here I found an overpriced hotel, but because the rain was pouring down, I decided to stay here anyway. Later that evening I returned to my hotel and when I opened the door I saw four cockroaches scurrying away, which I hadn't seen before in the (much) cheaper hotels in Thailand. The next day I took a songthaew to Tammalang and from here I called Inge, a ...

(Tagalog ,"Will you marry me?") Charmaine's response was, "OO'!OO'!" (Yes! Yes!") (I think that's about the only full line of Tagalog I can recite!) I asked her again (at the airport upon arrival) and again I got the affirmative.... :) -Shane ...aka..Braverhund-

... to come back tomorrow at 2. An inconvenience, but I've already paid for a room for the night so I'm fine. The next day I check out at 11, carry my giant backpack, and chill at the beach for a couple hours. By the beach, as you have to pay to sit on the beach and I refuse to spend my 50baht. I show up to the ATM to find an older British couple who have also had a card eaten. Go figure. We talk to the lady working there, the same from ...

... couldn't believe it. "I didn't own it, but it was my land," He laughs. I stretch my legs and look around. About 5 miles to the south is the Malaysian border. It's about this time that it occurs to me that half the thrill of travel is a matter of placing faith in strange people, strange places: If Mr. Qu felt like doing away with me and helping himself to my Timex Ironman, my Canon Camera and the 3000 baht I had on eme, he could probably get away with it.... Don't ...

So, it is with a heavy heart we leave Thailand where we have had such a blast. Stopped off for a very short while in Hat Yai, to change buses on our way to the Malaysian-Thai border. In the last month (can't believe it's been that long), we have seen sights ranging from beautiful Buddhist temples to transexual prostitutes on every corner, to amazing coral on the ...

We finally left Tonsai - which was hard because of ideas of perfection - and headed to the east side before we head into Malaysia. Just about the worst time of my life. The bus ride was at night, so we thought there would be no one on. Wrong. Overpacked, I had to stand for 4 hours next to a guy who hadn't heard personal hygeine was all the rage in the 1500s. And somehow everyone's breath was murder. MURDER! BURGER! NINJA! So we got to Hat Yai about 12:30 at night, no ...
