... there, so this morning we took a taxi and came to Khao Lak where we cheked into nice resort right on the beach...it is way more peaceful, way less people, lovely beach, very relaxing atmosphere...during the day went into the town and booked another dive trip tomorrow to Surin island on a very fancy Peter Pan boat, the guy who recommened us this trip said it is the nicest boat in the area, I am hoping so....every single ship going out tomorrow was totally fully ...

... snorkeling trips lined up with some well to do kids from some international schools in bangkok. Working with a couple hundred 11 year olds is not exactly fun but it pays really well and im beginning to grow impatient with the lack of STEADY work on the live aboards. I don't like having to wait for a phone call to be able to work. Bit of a pickle I suppose. Anyway, life continues here with all tethers and anchors to my life cut free once again. I am afloat for better or worse.

... fat and slimey from feasting on me. HE left a big bright red stain on my white sock, which was just as disturbing as the thought of his sucker fangs dug into my flesh. Even I was disgusted. they use some enzyme like an anticoagulant to keep it flowing, so it kept leaking ew. I have to say that the 3 red triangles from his mouth make a cool natural, impermanent tatoo though. I was hastily leaving after reaching the end of the 7km ...

... taxi driver hadn't a clue how to find it. On Sunday morning we met up with Nick &amp; Laura and the girls. Aileen has supernatural hearing when it comes to Emily &amp; Olivia's voices and heard them shouting "Granny, Granny" long before I did. From Bangkok we all flew down to Phuket, where Jem &amp; June met us at the airport. Really good to see them again - you should have seen Aileen racing up to fling her arms ...

... school where I would book a class for Saturday after returning my trek. The trek. Amazing, despite the rather sour ending. There were eight of us and two guides, Lek and Autid. Along for the ride were David and Garonce from Paris, Maya from a small town in the eastern half of Germany, Thomas from somewhere in the north of Germany, Stephanie from Toronto/Glascow and Andy and Tamara from London. None ...

... the long awaited travelling break. Lots of discussion was had about me in Thai and I was informed that I was to have a back slab applied that evening to stabilise the injury, stay in the hospital over night and then in the morning, I would have a full cast put on. I wouldn't be able to fly with a full cast, but maybe I could have it on for 3 weeks, have it removed in Bangkok and then fly back to the UK to have a proper one put on again and ...

... rests on top of a five story mall. I happily walked around and took in a familiar shopping experience and had a surprisingly good pizza for dinner. At this point, anything is a welcome change from noodles. I met up with the guys who were a little upset that I did not hang out with them as much as I could have in Chiang Mai and demanded I drink with them tonight. They have a knack for finding the sleaziest ...

What day is it? Have I been in Tak 2 days? Can't remember how long the trip has taken so far, how much time I have. I cough all night in the hotel room. I sleep the entire trip on the bus to Sukothai. I begin the trek into the city. I ask a guy if he knows of the guesthouse I'm thinking of. He doesn't, but I get on a bus with some Belgians and the driver knows the place. Banyan Tree=Ban Thai. I drink ...

... Was offered a free reiki treatment--might have to try it, as my first and only reiki encounter in Pushkar was very disappointing to say the least. My skeptical attitude is most likely not helping here! So all in all and not counting the 2 days of craziness for NY's, it's been quite chilled up here, again a nice change from hectic Delhi (it was strange to jump back into that city after VERY chilled Diu). Even though it's fairly remote, McLeod Ganj is ...
