... more. F*ck me! After about a minute of punch-flurry the fight stopped as one man had taken enough beating. I wish it had been the f*cker that ripped me off, but unfortunately it was the other guy who lost, and his mouth started dribbling blood.

Tuesday 3rd November - Bangkok

Still footsore from yesterday we decided to take it easy today. After a leisurely start we took the subway to the train station to organise our next destination. After a bit of 'tooing and froing' we decided on taking the train/ferry option to Koh Samui - we had wanted to go to Kao Tao but bad weather and ...

Background

After a long, dark and painful couple of years (figuratively speaking, of course, except for the part about the pain), I have finally emerged from the stock-market-crash-induced depths of despair - to the point where I finally feel like traveling and blogging again. I feel like a born-again Christian - without the Christian part.

Given that it was the night before my 26th birthday, I didn't want it to end up too crazy as I didn't want the inevitable hangover the next day!!

Or is there a modern term, like "hamburger bringing female human"?) to call the manager. The manager explained to me that they were unable to source their regular fries lately so they replaced them with these cheap imitations. Fine, I said, but I don't want them - and I don ...

Things to remember if you decide to visit -

Please note that a Thai prison is a formal institution and not the beach. You therefore have to dress and act accordingly. (Men should wear long trousers, women should have their shoulders and knees covered).

It turned out that this was the first flight for 1 2 Go to Khon Kaen, and they were making a big deal out of it. Now I know why the girls at the ticket booth were laughing. The owner of the company was on this flight and his wife was ...
