... the cost of tickets to Koh Phangan and found out they were charging 420 baht. Thinking we could still find a better price, we just went to our room to freshen up with a shower. The Lonely Planet guide did not leave us very excited about Surat Thani, but we found it a decent place to spend a night or two. The first thing we did was venture down to the waterfront to see if we could figure out how to book a ferry ticket without the aid of a travel agency. We ...

Sitting beside the sea, soaking up the suns rays, I remind myself that it is mid-December and I am alive, not dreaming... I pleasantly wonder how many people will receive joy or even lovely jealousy reading my blog. Lately, my inner journey is to choose contentment, no matter my surroundings, but I must admit that it is easy to be at peace in Koh Samui. I arrived Friday evening, under a full moon, and walked the streets asking for Utopia Hotel ...

... disappear on the horizon and the island destination appear . An hour and a half we finally arrived at Koh Samui and disembarked the vessel, we then met our bus, found our bags and were quickly located (due to the little yellow sticker) by the 'mini bus' driver who shooed us over to his vehicle - which was more like a beaten up old tarago with 9 seats and on first inspection no room for bags. He then jumped up on top of the van and ...

... by spending time in the seedy hands of Patong. Nick and Liam left for Koh Samui the day after we arrived in Phuket. Dave stayed on but disappeared the first night. He hasn't been back to the room since. Actually he's been off living it up, spending a copious amount of Sterling indulging in the excesses. But he's got just four weeks left until he ...

... all over the island, and until tourism arrived, coconuts were the main industry here. To get to the coconuts: Enter the monkey, considered as man's best friend. These industrious little animals are greatly prized and give a demonstration of their incredible dexterity (and not just at picking coconuts) in the outdoor theatre. The entertainment also includes performing elephants ...

... I was in the wrong place but he had already gotten my bag out of the back of the bus and given it to a man at the travel agency who promptly placed it INSIDE the travel agency. Argh!  Here is where my big mistake was.  Instead of paying him, I should have insisted he take me to the government bus stop.  But I didn't, I paid him and figured I'd sort it out myself. I went to get my bag from INSIDE the travel agency which started a conversation "where you go?".  She gave ...

... 30 minutes, we climbed onto a bus and I sat up front so I could have a good view. I also could see the driver and the instrument panel and noticed the speedometer was broken. The driver also had the radio blasting Thai music which was distracting. Finally we were off. I was amazed about how few people lived in the area as there were more tree plantations and the land was relatively flat. Coming from Japan where every square meter of flat ground was used ...

... unnamable type of leafy green, a peice of fruit (usually mini bananas or green oranges) and tea. Everyone would have to be seated in order for the food reflection to be said and for the entire group to eat together, in silence. Food Reflection: With wise reflection, I eat this food. Not for play, not for intoxication. Not for fattening, not for beautification. Only to maintain this body. To keep it alive and healthy. To support the spirital (way of) life. Thus, I let go of ...

He Says: I've had a few "first day at work" days, like most of us, but nothing can beat my first day as a teacher. I have never been so nervous or terrified in my life! And of what? Of kids, little kids. I walked into the class not knowing what was expected of me. "its ok, don't worry! Its conversational English, just talk with them' I was told. Cool. Excellent. Sweet. How do you have a conversation with kids who cant speak English!! Ahhh!! I had been with ...
