Regency Hotel Hat Yai

... on the beach. What I agree with other people on, about it being too touristy, is the high price for everything. Everything from food to accomodation is expensive and it is difficult to find a cheap beer or a cheap place to eat, unless you live out of a 7-11.
Anyways, I was much more active during the days in Ko Samui than the other islands. Whether it was shopping around the markets with my English ...

... on outside the closed confinement of this sweltering hot local bus where the oppression of angst has providence over the ever importance of the concept of Sanuk in the Thai Buddhist mind, a lone dark black buffalo with strangely shaped horns relaxing in a mud pool and looking at me with what seem warning eyes... a warning from Lord Buddha himself??? Near naked kids dressed only in their underwear playing in a river, pointing brownish little fingers at me excitedly...more ...

... Pulau Kecil, um genau zu sein. Dort geht jetzt die Tauchsaison los. A Propos Tauchen: Ich war neulich auf 41 Metern und hab viel Grossfisch gesehen, Leopoard Shark zum Beispiel! (8 Mile Rock) Jetzt aber heisst es fuer mich erstmal sparsam leben und nur tauchen gehen, wenn es wirklich sein muss... PS: Habe im vorigen Kapitel noch ein paar Fotos upgeloadet, enjoy!

... the first place we saw, B) had a whole set of basic (i.e. cheap)-looking bungalows on a gorgeous stretch of secluded beach and most importantly, C) it was called Porn Resort. Put the kids to bed and plug in the hair dryer, Martha, she's gonna be a wild one! Ah, if only it had lived up to its lofty name. Unfortunately, though, we found the staff to be somewhat aloof , as though we were just another in a long line of guys with gold chains, hairy shoulders and barbwire ...

... transferring our pictures to our drives. And we overshot the check out time, which well they were kinda nice and jugs extended without charge. Straight after that we hunted for good noodles to eat, and well we found this one with like meatballs and some meat. It was insane! Well ok after which we walked around and stuff and I was telling JJ well there is like this night market around, we just need to find. Well we walked out ...

... a picture I took in Songkhla of a local election.....you know how they bug you in the US with those phone calls?..her they drive trucks down the street with bull horns campainging for the canidates....glad that's over! And there's also a shot of Charmaine at the Japaneese restaraunt we ate at...boy...I'm gonna be disapointed when I get back and have to eat pizza and hotdogs! :) -Shane...aka...Braverhund-

... us. I get bitten by red ants and get soaked by a tap thats facing the wrong way as i wash my hands. I hate this place. Finally someone comes along and takes us in a mini bus to Khao Sok, which i try and sleep on but to no avail. We finally reach the park at 20.30pm and get accommodation straight away thankfully with it being a cool tree house 20 feet in the air being one of many different sorts of rooms all having quirky features.

... free luxury that I'm sure the train rides are that tour through the Rockie Mountains. No no no folks, this is a bumpy-as-heck, need-to-take-a-gravol, babies-craying-all-night, smokey, cramped type of train ride. As I'm sure all other people that have backpacked through SE Asia have experienced, the reason one takes the train is purely for the cheapness - not the comfort! haha ...

... check out the KFC. Not having greasy western food for sooo long it should be a treat! Oh my god! Do we really eat that **** all the time back home??? no wonder were all obese and having heart attacks! It tasted foul. We were still sucking the grease off our teeth 2 hours later. Stir fried rice for me from now on then. Nothing happened in Hat Yai, we werent there long enough! Sorry, Thats boring I know but true :)

... ceux qui s'en rapellent (c'est vraiment trop facile pour vous, vous n'avez qu'a aller lire plus haut... le 24/05 plus precisement). Nous avons donc passe 3 jours a voyager dans la ville et les environs, dont un jour memorable a parcourir la region en moto louee a la recherche d'un parc national que nous n'avons jamais trouve (ou en fait une fois sur le bon chemin il etait temps de revenir...). Cela ...
