... no Haribo!) and Blue Nun wine for 10 pound a bottle!! Next part of the process was for Malaysian customs officers to pull us over and look at our luggage - one of the English blokes had to pay duty on his purchases from Malaysia (he moaned about this for the rest of the journey, hence why I remember it). We then stopped again to be stamped out of Malaysia, then 100m down the road to be stamped ...

... Bus Ride I almost couldn't make it to the ferry because I decided to return a bike first. My motorcycle skill was zero so I needed to walk to the pier, about 700 meters away. Luckily, a guy at the rental shop offered me a ride. Yes, I always depend on the kindness of a stranger. On the way back, I fell asleep most of the time. The sea breaze made me in limbo. I brought 3 grilled chicken breasts from a local woman near the pier who ...

... toiminta suunnetelmaa. Oli Maanantai eli pankit ja kaikki aukeaa. Siispa paatin etta laitan visa korttini toimimaan vaikka vakisin. Ensin ajattelin kuitenkin etta hoidan itelleni jonkun majapaikan kun tassa oli aikaeron vuoksi 4 tuntia ennen kuin suomessa mikaan paikka aukeaa. Sopivan hintaisen majapaikan loytaminen osoittautui odotettua hankalammaksi. Siispa aloitin nettikahviloiden ...

... hair, noticed that she didn't shave down my neck at all (that's where the towel goes, you see) and that she had left a tiny little fringe of hairs in a perfect circle around my lips which produced all sorts of disturbing and unwanted images. "Yep, feels great, gotta go! No, no, I've got a mirror in my room, thanks anyway." Well, I think that's enough about Koh Lipe, after reading such a descriptive and relevant travelogue you probably feel like you've actually been ...

... full and after about an hour and a half, we called it a quit as one woman who spoke a bit of english offerred us to pay a bit more each so that the boat can leave with only 4 people. We thought we would make it to the other side faster, but no, cause the boat broke down. The motor simply stopped once in the middle of the ocean. Luckily, the english speaking woman had a cell phone, so we could call for some help and another boat came to pick us up. Hum...what ...

... was run down, the hall ways were dark and it reek of a stench like that of moist wood after the rain. So I was really hesistant about the place to settle in. It was also out of the way like in the alley of some sort. And so I had to ask the uncle to bring us so somewhere else that we probably know of near the heart of the town area, and we found Cathay Guesthouse, which is pretty darn good at it's price(200baht per night! Thats $10 for two person!!). Its roomy and bright and you have ...

... Weng, Chu, Christinia and Marvin. After worship, some badmiddton ... Another 'farang' westerner episode for me and Charmaine...a taxi driver wanted to charge me for 3 people because I was "so big' (I'm 5'7"...maybe 165 tops....) we negotiated back down to a bit over the 1 ...

... harmony could exist, so I asked the Dyases more about it. I thought that the reason may be economic, since Singaporeans have a lot of money. The Dyases were offered citizenship after being there for only a couple of years, because they passed the proper economic requirements. (They turned the offer down.) Was this the force that leveled out all of the ethnicities? But they said that 80 percent of the population has subsidized housing ...

Hat Yai 23/02/2007 As soon as we got off the train from Bangkok (16 hours later) the vulture like touts descended upon us and began asking us where we were going and shouting the names of possible destinations. We had read up on the internet that there were a couple of ways to get to Pak Bara pier to catch our ferry to our destination, Ko Tarutao national marine park (a group of 51 ...

... guy started saying something to us, I'm guessing trying to sell us food to feed the elephant. I instinctively ignored him (if you've ever been to Thailand you'd understand), and we kept walking. This sighting arose many questions - Where do they keep the elephant? How do they feed him enough? etc. However, I soon decided these were questions to which I didn't want to know the answer.
