July 27th we left Koh Phi Phi and made our way to Koh Sok National Park. After another day of numberous bust transfers and pointless layovers (they take you to 2 or 3 different "bus stations" aka local food stands.) before they get you on your actual bus! Its so annyoing but now its just expected! The final bus ended up being ok, Steve and I scored the front row of the mini van which meant leg room and 3 seats to lay across for the 4 hour drive! Once we arrived in Koh Sok we were told that "O...

Are these noises coming from inside or outside of my head? The sounds are intense, almost claustrophobic. Hundreds, maybe thousands of creatures all with very different voices. All wanting to be heard at the same time. With all four windows opened wide, and an open-air bathroom, our only protection from the jungle is a flimsy nylon mosquito net. Except for a few hours in the middle of the night the sounds never cease. Our Jungle House is the name of the place Ellen and I are staying on the ed...

Well where do we start!? After another nightmare journey we arrived at Khoa Sok National Park. The bus dropped us off on a road about 2-3kms from the villiage so we thought we were going to have to walk but luckily a nice taxi man picked us up. On the way to 'Our Jungle House', the guest house we had booked for 2 nights was when the first stages of shock started setting in for me. John looked like a kid at xmas and I was just starring out of the window completely out of my 'comfort zone'. He ...

Helloooooo, We're still getting to grips with Thai transport. We managed to get a minivan to Khao Sok and got dropped off at some random place, some guy in his pick-up offered us a lift 'for free', only for him to receive commission on our room. What can you do..... We were greeted by the very quirky German owner and we shacked up in a lovely little hut. We were going to go exploring after a spot of lunch but it started to rain and became a huuuuuge thunderstorm, we retired to our porch to ad...

Woke up, breakfast with the zombies and we step outside and see Tola waiting to take us to the airport. He tells us he slept badly due to the flood of emotions NOT attending the concert couldn't prevent (surely there's room in this sentence for another negative!) We give him a bag of some stuff, including the I Gave Blood t-shirts the hospital gave us and we tuk-tuk off for the airport. It must have been a Cambodian first to see a tuk-tuk driver embrace and exchange legitimate tearful good by...

... here. I took some photos of a heard of cows in a bus. I hope they won't kill those poor animals at Pha-Ngan. I won't eat any meat! I saw their tragic looks and uneasy gestures and I could imagine what it likes to be in that position. Finally I arrived Pha-Ngan, an easy going island which always been my dear old friend. Pan and I went to the night market together. It's wonderful to be with her because she knows everybody in town!

... shops selling clothes, curios and foreign exchange vendors, massage parlors etc. Later in the evening we took a Songthew(a local bus open at the rear and can take upto 15 passengers) to the Krabi town.The ride to Krabi town through the lush green jungles,along small hillocks and occasional brush with seacoast was thoroughly enjoyable.The small fruit and vegetable market was very interesting and haggling with the vendors was a nice experience! 26 May 08- Accosted ...

... bra and your average combat shorts with just one leg! Oh well, its more original than shaking an empty Burger King cup I guess! We then decided to travel home in style (and danger) and got a motorcycle taxi home with me, Andy and the tiny Thai driver all crammed onto this motorbike and me screaming my head off most of the way!!!! All good fun - and it with my newfound passion for danger ignited, I agreed the next day to get on a jetski ...

... warning everyone to get to the hall for the dhamma talk at 10 am. Over the retreat, these talks were delivered by different people, either by monks, nuns or lay persons, and relayed a lot of information. The system of meditation which leads to enlightenment, ANAPANASATI (mindfulness of breathing) was covered in great detail. The 16 steps were broken down and it was made painfully clear what must be done and what to expect at each step of the process. Other Dhamma issues ...

... for her first day of school, which was just supposed to be an orientation day. Instead it turned out to be a teaching day. There I was trying to build a relationship between non-english speaking children with the attention span of a goldfish, and a non-thai speaking, quick to temper teacher. Talk about interesting, if you had been a fly on the wall, you would have laughed so hard you fell off. I must have looked a goose. At least we can only have one first day.
